Есть неподтвержденная инфа о том что Diablo III будет поддерживать DirectX 10.1 (сейчас только видеокарты Radeon 4800 серии поддерживают эту версию DirectX)
+ AMD заявила о том что их видеокарты будут поддерживать физический движок HAVOK который использует Diablo III.

Faster than Physics
Sources close to AMD's Physics department have told us that AMD plans to introduce Havok on GPU only when this ends up being faster than Physics on a GPU.
If you remember, Ageia's Physics would get some cool physics in original Ghost Recon Advanced Warrior but it would also cause the graphics performance to drop. This is not what AMD wants to re-live and we were told whenever AMD decides to do it, that it has to be done right.
This indicates that Physics + Graphics on ATI's GPUs should end up faster and not slower than CPU accelerated Phsycs and the FPS that you are getting from a graphics card alone. This is a nasty task as you need to take a part of GPU to do the physics while the other part will do graphics and somehow you are doomed to lose a FPS or five.
The possible solution are two cards, slower older to calculate Physics while the second faster card can does graphic and this would get us back to Ageia's original design, where Physic chip was a card on its own.

В статье идет реч о том что HAVOK будет быстрее PhysX для nVidia.
ЗЫ: Вот собирался под НГ брать комп с 9800GTX, но теперь я в ступоре...
