x400 refers to 8400 and 9400 in this case.  With nVidia (at least 
currently with these series of cards) the first digit is the series, the 
second digit is the relative performance number.  So the person you are 
quoting was saying that the 8400 and 9400 may not have enough horsepower 
for the more complex filters, but the 8500 and 9500 probably do (as well 
as the 8600/9600 cards).
