This looks interesting to say the least. 100,000 x better graphics Roll Eyes

I think the best graphics I've seen to date has to be the new Tomb Raider. Incredible Shocked

I can only imagine what they'll be like in, say, 10 years.

Would make for an interesting flight sim, no? I understand the point being made, but it looks like it'll be one of those wait and see kind of things. Would be cool though!

Specs: Asus Crosshair nForce 590 SLI,
AMD Athlon X2 6400+ w/ZeroTherm BTF90,
4GB G.Skill PI Series DDR2-800,
Sapphire HD4870 512MB,
PC P&C 750 Quad, in a CoolerMaster HAF932

You seriously Had to bring up tomb raider Angry

. I spent the whole night googling the awesome new TR which I had been avoiding purposely for just under a year for a reason. Now to start the rehab process again Grin

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

It's an interesting technology which certainly has many uses, however the idea of voxels is not new and it also has many disadvantages which were not discussed in the video, because it was essentially a marketing video.

Here's my problem:
100,000 times faster=100,000 times more powerful computer.
100,000 times more powerful computer=200,000 times more expensive. Shocked

Sorry but I just don't see that happening flawlessly in 20 years and coming down to a reasonable price Sad

Agree completely.

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.
