the new nVidia 6800s have a dedicated video prossing unit (VPU) to help with encoding and such, is this sort of thing made separately?
if so how much does it cost, and is there any speed lost by using PCI instead of AGP?.

also, does anyone have any (links to) benchmarks of video encoding speeds with and without the 6800s VPU?
