It may be true that some of the 8xxx series support hardware
accelerated video decoding, but this list does not take into account
whether the cards have XvMC support in *Linux*.  The method of video
acceleration changed in the GPU architectures, and while the Windows
drivers do support accelerated decoding on some of the models, none of
the 8xxx series cards have XvMC support in Linux.

As well as a multitude of other threads on the subject both there and
in nvidia's forums.
