Nvidia throw around the term "CG" too much - iirc Pixar semi - online flamed them because they claimed they rendered luxo jnr (the lamp I believe) "in real time" and Toy Story "soon" (or was it final fantasy)

All they did was render something similar to Luxo Jr - the lamp - but it's very downsampled - the lighting is no where NEAR perfect vs a render, the textures are probably lower res and the polygons are prolly 1/4 or some shit too.

Nvidia are doing well, but their confidence is just a little too bold for me.
