June 2008: Radeon HD 4870 launches with the OTOY/Cinema 2.0/Ruby tech demo featuring voxel raytracing. It can't get much closer to photorealism than this... or can it?
December 2010: Radeon HD 6970 launches with this craptastic tech demo. Talk about progress. Laughable fire effects, crude physics with only a few dozen dynamic objects, pathetic Xbox 1 city model and lighting, uninspired Mecha design. It may be just a tech demo but this is just a disgrace for a high-tech GPU company. Well done AMD! Now where the hell is that Cinema 2.0 Ruby demo you promised dammit? My HD 4890 is almost EOL and already LOL :p

I was horrified by the poor quality in their latest demo. Who on earth authorized the release of such a poor demo on such amazing hardware? It's like smearing finger paint on a Ferrari.....
Remember that this is for DX11's polygon based renderer so its not going to be revolutionary. Having said that however it was not that great, probably only intended to show some little feature of DX11.
I agree that the demo is really poor. However, I will wait their presentations to see what kind of new algorithm they are really proposing. Then I will be able to fully judge the demo.
But, still, this demo is visually very unpleasant... The only way I would accept such a demo would be real-time ray tracing but it seems that it is not the case here...
