It's made me check out CUDA.

Epic!

I wonder if there is going to be some pipeline encryption on graphics cards soon that only gets deciphered by DX and OpenGL. This isn't the only thing I've heard of GPU's doing besides graphics. Interesting...

I wonder when game developers will start taking advantage of cuda, for AI etc.

Unlikely, as that's not CUDA's purpose. Plus it's very platform-specific.

Well i thought the purpose of cuda, was to allow coders to use the stream processors on the new dx10 nvidia gpus, for 3d math intensive tasks, such as phyisics, graphics, and i though also ai and other game logic. I mean just imagine medieval total war 2, using the stream processors. That would enable mass battles, for once of truly realistic sizes.

well, the new version of Mac OS X will be taking advantage of GPUs for more than just graphics.
second bullet point
and I've heard windows 7 will have a similar ability

Although it's possible to use it for that, it's main intention was general-purpose parallel computing (particularly complex algorithms and such). But, it's too platform independent for a company to spend that amount of time taking advantage of it. The code has to be written in a very special manner to take advantage of it.

I see. I wish a global "Cuda" type thing could be made for all graphics cards with parralel processors.
