Wow. The Real-Time Demos are just stunning. This graphics chip seems to be lightyears ahead of even the 9800 Pro. Maybe this will go in the next model G5s!

Those "EXE" apps can be run by the Blink Video player right? just like those Half Life 2 videos?

Most likely.

I'll be pretty pissed if all ATI can cough up for Mac users is the 9600 and 9800 XTs.

(The EXE is not blink video)

Man, this looks great, Too bad it will be years before we see anything like that.

The EXE is the actual real-time rendering demo... for Windows
People have developed mostly functional wrappers that let it run on 9700's and 9800's, though, and I think I'll boot up the PC soon and check it out.
Be happy.
