It will be interesting in the future if we see card architectures like
the below, but missing that little "2D Engine" block. ;-)
I wonder how well things like video acceleration can mix with the 3D
engine? And also, is it feasible to get something like the Linux
console buffer running on a 3D-only card? Or will cards forever be
stuck with VGA/SVGA compatibility for just that reason?
