Benchies for Doom 3 seem to be funny.
Wasn't that optimized for nVidia paths? DAAMIT really slaughtered stencil shadowing for real, this time?

BTW, HD2400's shape (Fudzilla) is pure lulz.

Not really.
Did that author get paid off by nVidia? Seems to make a HUGE deal out of losing entropy decoding/bitstream processing. 8800 doesn't have'em too, practically keeping them at an even playing level for now.

Marketing BS, but this wouldn't even compare to the magnitude that Creative has done with their Audigy and X-Fi cards. Those are much easier to get a lawsuit on than this one.

The important factor will be the redux flagship chips (HD2950XT+/8900+), in which demanding full AVIVO HD/Purevideo HD v2 would be reasonable.

More importantly, hi-def video is more prevalent on H/X264 files than HD-DVD/BD, and there's a very nut-zy codec called CoreAVC that high-end GC users could buy without even blinking their eyes. 1080p H.264 fulfilled!
