I remember reading something that John Carmack said about the FX. He said it was a good card, but the noise and that pissed him off. He also said, even though it has CineFX, and more instructions; that if they were to use even half of the instructions they can for a game it would dramatically bring it to a crawl. The technology is there, but it can't be used yet by the way Nvidia wants it to be used. The cards need to get faster to be able to handel all the instruction sets for a scene. He said it would be great for 3d rendering but not that important when it comes to games. http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?category=main&id=9060#comment89831
