Radeon VE, Radeon 7000, Mobility Radeon, and all of the Radeon IGP parts (including Radeon 9100 IGP) lack hardware transform.

Note that I said "consumers" not "serious gamers". If you want to limit your market, feel free.

That's not what the marketing data (and the smart money at the GDC) were saying.

Anyway, wrong list for this discussion. Feel free to limit your market any way you want, and cause more returns for your publisher, making him less likely to fund your next project. Except that doesn't actually grow my own market, it just makes mainstream consumers increasingly frustrated with games in general, which is bad for everybody.

Cheers,
