I asked cass some questions regarding NV30, he answered, but as you could imagine, it was rather short

Hi Alex,

We don't comment on unannounced products, so I can't answer some of your questions.

The depth clamp functionality is in GeForce3 and GeForce4 Ti already, though, and it will be available in drivers soon.

Thanks -

Now, I'm not really sure what is GL_DEPTH_CLAMP, does it have something to do with the two-sided stencil testing R300 & NV30 support or is it something else?

In case it is just that, does it mean that GF3/GF4TI cards will get two-sided stencil testing in a future detonator set?

No. It means gf3/4 can disable fragment clipping on the near/far plane.
It should be useful in some shadow stencil techniqus that otherwise need a special projection matrix modified to translate the far plane at the infinite.
Disabling the far plane fragment clipping one can use such stencil shadow tecnhniques with a standard projection matrix.

ciao,
Marco
