Yeah i hear ya. But a lot of games have yet to utilize those features, but i guess in the next year or so they will. For graphic artists what you really need is a G4 Mac or a silicon Graphics pc with a gig of mem. Then just add one of those FireGL cards in there from Diamond MM. Now that would be a sweet setup. Your 3d designs would be rendering like lightning.

OMG! don't remind me hitpuree!! starfox has been taunting me with pics of the G4 titanium laptop that i told him i wanted like a few weeks back. omggg...i want it....i want it...it would make my life sooo much easier....and complete! hehehe.

oh and it's not the rendering time or anything that makes the GF3 so amazing...like the next vertex engine...omg...that is truly revolutionary. animators will be able to program up to 128 commands into a single vertice, which makes motion animation...or any animation infinitely more fluid and amazing than it already is...and with the layering technology and stuff on there...wow...landscapes never looked better. then ya got this amazing thing where the GF3 can render nearly anything with NO CPU access time...NONE! that's amazing!! *cough* okay...okay...i'm gonna stop now...there's lotsa new shit packed into the GF3...wow...

I've had an ATI Radeon 64 DDR with tv tuner, etc since about last June... I scored it at about 1/7th the retail cost since I have friends at ATI



..too bad I don't have time to play games

Maybe that will help animators simulate human hair. I hear its been extremely difficult for animators to make human hair truly lifelike. Theyve pretty much mastered animating water, but hair is another challenge all together. Maybe this new technology your talking about will take them one step closer. I haven't read too much about the GF3, but from what your telling me it's awesome. Ill have to go read more about it.
