I love it when people still use the ONLY eye candy card....so what is AA or AF or many of the features you guys love so much about video cards?
Do tessellation, AA or AO change gameplay? NO yet I see ATI guys hyping tessellation as the second coming....

The difference between those and physx is that they are widely available and supported by both companies. NV is hyping tesselation just as well with Fermi and it's going to be widely available in DX11 which MS is pushing out. AA, etc... are supported by every GPU though honestly I don't care whether it is or not as long as the games I play have a decent level of graphical detail I'm happy. If I have to buy seperate hardware for it, the feature had better be damn important like having sound in games or being able to actually run the game not some gimmicky little thing which the game developer could have put in themselves if they wanted to.
