This isn't even a rumour ... it is just some guy's imagination/guess on what the new functions/features on new driver ... complete, utterl b.s.

I really dont see the benifit of a DV type thing for ATI. Some of the smartshaders are fun, some usefull in future, but a DV type one ? Not for me. I have always found DV to be unnecessary on ATI cards. Its true that earlier Geforces needed it (colours are dull) but ATI boards just dont need it, in fact if you have been using ATI boards for a while looking at DV on a Geforce is almost painfull, it looks so artificial unless its turned right down to a minimal setting. If you like it great, but its not for me.

Geez, this ain't news. You might as well be linking to some guy saying that "I think NVIDIA should add 512MB DDR 2 memory to GeForce FX 2. Do you agree? Please post thoughts".
