New PC video technology to be released later this year from Nvidia is expected to provide a major boost to live-performance animation characters. As PC manufacturers switch from AGP-based video boards to the higher bandwidth PCI Express, real-time render rates will leap forward. The boost comes from specially built motherboards featuring two PCI E-ports, allowing Nvidia to operate two cards synchronously. Nvidia's scalable link interface claims a 90% boost in frame rate.
