These new cards will render graphics polygons down in the hardware. With the tools Aureal is developing for developers they plan to not have to rely on graphics polygon databases to render for audio. The audio will have a separate database. This is something Aureal has indicated developers are ok with since they need low resolution data for other things like real time lighting, and collision detection.

Aureal is also talking to all the major graphics manufacturers on ways of combining hardware forces in the long term future.
