New technology, need pics of them

[eden]

You know, what with all the DX8 features out there thanks to GF3, I was always wondering, even after reading the GF3 information article by Tom (the huge one) and seeing pics of technology effects, I would really like to see what the vertex and pixel shaders do and look like in games. I know Aquanox uses all of it, and the eye candy is just so nice, but I would like some pics of closeups of areas in a scene that portray the usage of those 2 shaders. I would like to see what these 2 shaders can produce, and how it affects the image quality! In short, I want examples pics.

I can't think of a good signature so I'll use this one.

hmm hardly looks like an RPG, more like a first person shooter. Maybe it won't be completely gay like most RPGs
I'll make a Lord of the Rings FPS out of it

If my response is brief and vague its because the info you provided is too!

I saw the screenshots but you didn't get what I meant.
I can see pics of new optimized games, but I don't see WHERE is X technology applied in Y. For example I want a pic with an arrow pointing to some vertex shader effect result, or a pixel shader one, to see what old games don't have in new optimized ones in textures and such.

I know the technology is applied and there, I just don't see where.
