I have to agree that these images are sub-par as far as Ray tracing goes. but they are at 30fps on cards not meant for the job. Intel is going to wipe the floor with nvidia if this is all that they can do with 10k worth of graphics cards.





With 4 and 8 core nehalems coming and dual socket boards not far behind. We are going to be looking at 16 physical cores and with HT enabled it will work more like 32 cores working at 3+ ghz a piece. then in the year following you can upgrade to lerrabee which will still pllay old games but will be a major boost for ray tracing.





Now the best part. I can use all 32 virtual cores for more than just gaming. Oh and it will only cost me 5k max for that system. instead of 12-15k for the nvidia system.
