It does seem outlandish, but it is kind of cool. Is it going to give  
enough 3d speed? The next gen tegra is supposed to have a 24 core GPU.

It is probably more sane then my idea of just having a test suite from  
digital video out -> digital video receiver/capture card to get known  
test results. Then you could set up a hinted genetic algorithm based  
on a comparison. It would only work with digital video signals though.
