It seems that the eventual move to ray tracing will be new graphics companies into the fold. Caustic hopes to supply high-end ray tracing graphics cards. How about we get things like OpenCL out in force to promote open GPU programming first.
Demos don't impress me unless I can do the manipulation.

The company says its software and chips allow graphics chips to carry out ray-tracing calculations at a 20-fold speed-up compared with existing PC hardware. It said it expects to deliver chips by early 2010 that will be about 200 times faster. In a demonstration, Caustic executives manipulated a photo-quality image of a sports car, removing components and changing lighting and background settings to change reflections on the vehicle's surface.
