In theory - yes. In practise, Nick made it knowing only the ATI hw and its
requirements, and as soon as we started to port mga_vid to vidix, found
that it's impossible without api changes...

anyway, direct3d was designed to be generic.. but it's really designed
for nvidia chips, at least the 8.x version.

every API has a reference implementation and it's the best for that hw.
