Nice work from nvidia with the OpenGL 3.0 support hopefully games will start using that standard soon.

I'm wondering what products are going to be using this - I can think of 2 id products that may be using it - nVidia are pushing it quite hard so I'm assuming theres atleast one big name game/application they must be supporting.
