Well, the article doesn't say what resolution it can drive (I would guess 
something like 1600x1200 with too many colors, plus transparency, etc.), 
but it does say that it can do a "5x5 convolution of a 1024x1024 pixel 
image" in less than 66ms.  The engine has 320 Image Engines that operate 
in parallel to render everything.  Each one controls 512Kb of the image (I 
guess it can go up to a meg per engine).  Anyway, it seems kinda neat.  A 
super computer (1.2 GFLOPS) on your video card.
