Wow, so nVidia is allowing graphics card driver pass through with VM software?? That could be a *big* deal if they open it up to all nVidia cards - especially for OS X gaming.

Quick message to whoever -1'd me.

OSX gaming makes little sense from multiple points.

A) A gaming machine that could max out the setting on most games at moderate resolutions could be had for half the price of an entry level Mac.
B) Very few games are written for OSX, and even when they are they come out much later.
C) With bootcamp, you don't need games written for OSX. You can run all the latest games on your underpowered, and overpriced hardware.

So you could plonk down a few grand on a quadro, or you could buy a top end gtx295 or lower and bootstrap it. same result: quadro.

but for the casual gamer, this would be great. Or for the CAD professional. Maybe not for someone with WASD tattooed on their forehead..
