Alternative to the per-vertex motion-blur mentioned above, GeForce3 can also use multi-sampling to create this effect. The other typical multi-sampling effect is 'depth-of-field', which simulates the focusing of camera optics, blurring either the area far away or the area close up, depending on the focus.
