Not much is known about the above screenshot but the folks who were behind creating the infamous SLI Patch are working on ATI Physx implementation right now. This is going to port the NVIDIA Physx to ATI GPUs,
At a recent NVIDIA event, when questions about porting PhysX to ATI GPUs came up, representatives from NVIDIA said there is nothing stopping anyone from downloading the CUDA SDK and doing the necessary work.

Bit-tech has just reviewed the Asus Radeon EAH3870 X2 1GB.
UK Price (as reviewed): £242.33 (inc. VAT)
US Price (as reviewed): $399.99 (ex. Tax)
Core Clock: 825MHz
Memory Clock: 1,800MHz
Warranty: Three years parts and labour
I have to say that I’m impressed with the Asus EAH3870 X2 graphics card – it’s quite a step away from the reference design and innovation like this should be encouraged. The inclusion of four DVI ports will be a welcome addition for anyone looking to run more than a couple of monitors on their workstation and what makes it even better is the fact that, unlike Nvidia’s SLI, ATI CrossFireX technology scales across multiple displays.
If you are interested in learning out exactly how NVIDIA has implemented it's cutting edge technology into this amazing graphics card, head over to bit-tech.net to get a full scoop of the Geforce GTX 280 architecture along with a review.

In 2006 we all heard that AMD would be discontinuing the manufacture of ATI All in Wonder cards due to growing problems of incompatibility with Windows Vista Media Center and the tuning/capture devices on the cards. However, HotHardware.com is reporting that AMD is planning to resurrect the series with a TV Wonder 650 with a Radeon HD 3650 GPU.
Cards will sport a hardware MPEG-2 encoder, native HDMI connections along with DVI outputs, composite video inputs and outputs, component outputs, and support OTA HD, Clear QAM digital cable TB tuning (some of the connectors are on a separate daughterboard that connects via a small ribbon cable). Of course, all of the features inherent to the Radeon HD 3650 GPU will be exposed as well, as will the features of the ATI Theater 650 chip. We should also note that unlike previous AIW cards, this new version will be fully compatible with Windows Vista.

Here are more reviews for AMD's latest offering:
This puppy by Point of View has been reviewed over at Guru3d.com. To read the full review click here. The card is priced at $399 and provides excellent performance.
Performance wise this is just a very fun product, playing Race Driver: GRID at 1920x1200 with 4x MSAA enabled at 55 frames per second is just brilliant. When we take S.t.a.l.k.e.r. with every possible image quality setting enabled including Dynamic lighting we still push 52 frames per second on average and these are just really good numbers. The one card the GTX 260 consistently came close with (performance wise) was actually the diminished GeForce 8800 Ultra.
Gamespot.com has also taken the new 4850 and 4870 cards for a spin and have posted some benchmarks from the cards. To read the full article, click here.
