Firing Squad has posted a preview of nVidia's CineFX technology.

Although summer is still young, things are definitely beginning to heat up in the 3D graphics market. Matrox kicked things off with its re-entrance into the high-end graphics market with its Parhelia graphics card. Then, just last week ATI unveiled its RADEON 9000 DirectX 8 board and its next generation RADEON 9700 graphics card.
