>> 6 months to a year from now, I'd strongly recommend getting a Glint based
card. It'll support OpenGL, which is supported in NT3.5, which 3DS has been
announced to run as it's OS. If you add all three together, you can assume
that R5 will support OpenGL. (but nothing official has been announced, or is
expected until Siggraph) <<
I think that it is pretty safe to say that 6 months to a year from now there
will be quite a few 3d chipsets to choose from… most of which will put
Glint under the table. Check out the Martin Marietta ad on page 16 of the
new (March) CGW. Their stuff is for real, and coming soon (according to the
article, of course).
The future's so bright…
