There ya go...we`ll be "forced" to buy these royally crap cards to get good scores.

The questions...

Will it be built into the main tests, or separate, like the CPU/shader etc tests?

Will Aegias, NVidias and ATIs hardware all be supported, or just Aegia?

How will the scoring lean?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

That will be another bit of hardware to get which will just make the cost of benching even more expensive ( bummer ), by the way the link does not show anything.

Sorted, thanks and sorry

TBH it had to be done sooner or later. Hopefully these features will be built into the graphics chip before too long. I can see the separate card going obsolete in no time

I agree totally - it was only a matter of time - how much longer before we see realworld benefits, I think only at that point will we see them being mainstream - until then it'll be 'a nice to have' or 'essential benching' product.

To be honest the modern day mobo does not have good layout for SLI, creative audio AND a PPU - that is one major blocker for me which is why I think we should see ageia/creative become sinlge slot solutions (audio and ppu on one card).

Surely the Ageia could be added to the motherboard just like audio is these days. Then the graphics can be kept separate
