Nope, it's not a tech demo in the sense you can download and play around with it (sorry) but NVIDIA is using "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" to show off the Quadro DCC at SIGGRAPH 2001 (http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=final_fantasy). You can learn more about the card at the site (http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=quadrodcc). Here's more:

At SIGGRAPH 2001 NVIDIA unveils the *Square Final Fantasy Technology Demo. Running on an NVIDIA Quadro DCC, the demo exemplifies interactive real-time 3D rendering on an standard computing platform.
Check out the incomparable power of the NVIDIA Quadro solutions in the following Final Fantasy Demo facts.
The average time it took to render a single frame in the Final Fantasy Technology Demo was less than one-tenth of a second, compared to the 90 minutes it took in the movie, Final Fantasy The Spirits Within! The number of polygons it took to create Aki in real time is greater than 60 highly detailed models in Quake III. There are nearly 1.5 million vertices rendered every second just to create the hair in the demo. That is more than the average number of hairs on the human head!</BLOCKQUOTE>
