Hmmm... makes me think about the P10.

Do you really think real time raytracing is used fully?
If raytracing will ever be used to it's maximum potential it won't be until we have 10THz CPUs and video cards capable of assisting.

Or a Playstation 3.

Interesting to see that the GF3 has 380 FP units. Egad, that's a lot.

Yes, and a "256-bit memory interface". That sounds good!

It is 256bit. Actually >128bit DDR< ( the SaarCOR-Architecture only uses SDRAM )

Unfortunately, it's aimed at static scenes (requires a BSP tree to be built for the scene to be rendered).
