The NVIDIA demo team have released a DirectX 10 demo (186MB), and those of you with Vista, a GeForce 8800, and the newest 100.64 drivers can have a go here. The Cascades demo implements all kinds of graphical goodies, including procedural geometry creation (the GPU generates an endless vertical rock formation on-the-fly), dynamic particle physics (the GPU performs physics calculations for water falling down the rock formation), and displacement mapping (bumps and crevices in the rock surface occlude each other). Judging by the few screenshots on Nvidia's website, the result is quite pretty indeed.
