This is now official:

This may sound like graphics card will "soon" support fully-featured
raytracers as well :-p

They've learnt a lot from being involved with the Crysis people.
8800 Ultra anyone? :)

Have you downloaded NVIDIA's Gelato? What a waste of time that was!
Imagine downloading an 84.3 megabyte file on dialup, just to find that it's:
*slower than Blender
*slower than POV-Ray
*doesn't support multithreading
*has no GUI of it's own
I'm sorely disappointed.

I have a GeForce7600 GS, running in PCI mode, unfortunately.

Both. Gelato and Gelato Pro were both designed to run on a Quadro card. If
you try to run it on a non-Quadro card, it might work but it's certainly not
going to be able to make use of all the GPU features a Quadro card has. I
suspect it is using CPU emulation for the GPU features that are missing...
