Cards don't accelerate rendering, just playback. And you don't see 
performance figures for the same reason you almost never see 2D graphics 
benchmarks anymore -- all the cards on the market can handle this task 
so well that there's effectively no difference between them.

here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed
one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that 
alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific."
