This is one seriously powerfull engine. Hope this one is more succesfull than Doom3 engine and can fight UE3/CryEngine2.

Is this engine all about textures?

What about animation, lighting, interactive environments, physics?

He only rambles on about how big textures you can have, and that's awesome that you can have an engine that handles that and all the other stuff that artists can du with this engine, but as I said what about all that other stuff I mentioned first?

Rybnik6121d ago

Obviously lighting is not an issue as Tech 5 lighting engine is definitely as amazing as crysis. I mean it looks on par with the pre-rendered motorstorm trailer!!! However, I think you got a good point about physics, animation and environmental intereaction. IF all that exists then, DAMN! This engine could be the most impressive engine yet seen...We will see.

It's good SLI is dead and buried - and my wallet agrees

Kevin writes: "Multi-GPU gaming was one of those things that seemed like a good idea for as long as it lasted. I mean honestly, the idea of a modular approach to graphics upgrades – be that SLI or CrossFire – was brilliant. I repeat, the idea was brilliant."

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.

I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.

However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.

I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.

Why ? For the price of two SLI cards you only get one RqtX card now...

Exactly what I was thinking. When SLI was around an Nvidia flagship card was $700, less than half the price of their current flagship.
