Two features I'm curious about for ATI cards. Now I know it's gone in CCC/control panels but does ATI still support truform for the few games that do have it?

Also what is going on with 3Dc? Are games finally using it? I know ATI was upset that Serious Sam 2 got rid of it and were disappointed that developers weren't using it. Any games have 3Dc support especially since nvidia supports it too? I also believe it's called 3Dc2 that my x1800xt card supports. Are developers going to finally start using it or ARE they using it, but everything is "behind the scenes" and you don't click a button to enable it (thinking Farcry ATI demo)
 
3Dc is a compression ATi has been trying to push for years, they claim its lossless at certain compressions, but i have yet to hear it gain any foothold in development

3Dc+ was introduced with the X800 series, the 3Dc2 is on the X1k family, don't know if any game has it, if anyone were to support it, i'd think it would be crysis
 
Trueform never seemed to catch on did it. I think it was a great idea, but it apparently developers were just not interested in going back to older games and adding it in - even thought it was supposedly very easy - and for games being released, they just didn't seem to want to make anything ATI specific. If memory serves, Trueform was implemented in the hardware of the 8500 series, but for newer cards it just has some form of software version in the drivers. Maybe cards are so powerful now that they figure it doesn't matter at all. Still, it seems like such a waste of what should be a very sound concept.
