Pulled this text from BeyondUnreal:
"Straight from the nVidia NV40 demonstration comes a new Unreal Engine 3.0 video demo, featuring all the items which made us drool from reading the numerous previews, including, but not limited to Normal Mapping, Ray-tracing, fully dynamic per-pixel lighting, advanced shader effects, and much more.

While the technology is still 2-3 years away, the possibilities of the engine absolutely blew me away. Be absolutely sure you watch this video."

Nice, but why do we have wait that long? I wonder what type of computer they ran the demos on? Basically it is about stringing out the public with evolving technology tidbits so we all spend more money over a short term to keep up...imo.
