I think this is a good thing for everybody. We’re gonna get much shorder mental ray rendering times with some consistant gpu acceleration.

Ouch, Laci. Gaming idiots? Harsh words against a sector of the entertainment industry that brings in more money than films:)

expensive video cards in every render farm machine in a few years ?
fast previewing of heavy raytracing effects for nvidia equiped workstation ?

this is a good move for nvidia, wonder what the benefits will be for us.

to be honest, I don’t care at all what blows the minds of gaming-idiots. when does mental images start to innovate again and get more affordable, that are my biggest concerns.

Ok, that is good for the gaming industry, but then the film industry has to blow the viewers mind, with something better. What is that gona be? (I mean here something CGI)

This is big for the future of gaming, this is all about getting mental ray onto nex- gen consoles. Thats right real time rendering with raytracing, ambient occlusion and final gathering! Its what RealityServer is all about and NVIDIA buying mental images means we are going to see something in the next few years that will blow your mind.
