Other than games, for what is 3d used? Does it take 3d to render a movie full-screen using the hardware, or is that a 2d function? I _do_ know that the nVidia driver on my EN7300 card produces faster rendering of e.g. kpdf or iceweasel and a clearer picture when watching movies (full-screen on my CRT 1600x1200, deinterlaced blend) than when I use the nv driver.
