@gavanwoolery -- what kind of Hardware is the demo running on?
- gavanwoolery 13y agoA single GTX 780, which is...I know, very yikes. It runs on far less, but you have to sacrifice visual detail. That said, if current patterns are an indication, a GTX 780 or equivalent will cost about $200-$250 or less (right now about $500 on Amazon, $700+ when it came out), in a few years when the game is released.
- diziet 13y agoAh, so it's GPU bound. So we'll have to wait quite a while for the tech to appear on mobile devices -- the smaller viewport might help, though given the current device resolution soon overtaking monitors... How low level is the rendering/generation, is there potential for 5x optimization if you get closer to hardware?
- gavanwoolery 13y agoRight now its just OpenGL, glsl, C++ - most of the generation occurs in GLSL, and the rest is basically rendering fullscreen quads. There is a potential for improvement with something like Mantle because there are so many requests sent to the GPU.
