- jandrese 3y agoAnd it's not even 60FPS. According to the article it can manage 44FPS at 720p. For comparison the original Raspberry Pi can run Quake 3 at ~30 FPS at 1080p. That said, he mentioned that the software was hard to build and there is a lot of optimization potential still available.
- vardump 3y agoBeing constrained to a low-end FPGAs is quite a handicap. Even high-end ($10k+) FPGAs would be a severe disadvantage compared to where ASICs were 10+ years ago. So no point to be snarky.
