G98 based 8400 GS supports VC-1 and MPEG-2 bitstream ( and iDCT ) modes as well as H.264 FGT and non-FGT modes.

G86 only supports iDCT and earlier modes for VC-1 and WMV as well as bitstream for H.264.

You can tell them apart from the clock speeds.
I'm looking at either a 9600gt or 9800gt. does either of those support bitstream for all vc1/avc/wmv? this info is surprisingly hard to find.
