Yeah exactly...
It looks pretty nifty there, but seeing it in motion might be another story, and it says simulation - no mention of real time. If it's real time and looks good in motion that that's really quite something. If it was a case of the R600 pre-rendering it then it's not so impressive, a 486 would probably achieve the same result if you had a few decades of free time
