A single 8800 rendered those in game shots using an AMD X2 4200+ getting 90-95 FPS.

But it's only a tech demo. Add a full blown game around that, with similar detail and you will need a render farm to archive playable framerates. (besides: how many ppl here actually have such a system?)

Rendering a few heads @ 90 fps on some of the most gfx powerfull hardware around is not impressive performance wise. granted they look preddy good, but not *that* fantastic.

(and the 8800 series basicaly IS a render farm btw...)

It never fails. Everybody wants eye candy screenshots. The reason we need a photo-real maps is just to convince people like cyan that nex can look as good as commercial games.
The head demo is more about the blurring and soft shadows than a realistic head. Do you really expect to see this kind of detail IN GAMES anytime soon? Halo 3 won't be looking anything like this.
Remember doom 3? Upgrade your PC, play for 2 weeks (wow @ graphics), go back to unreal and quake. Hats off to directx 10 but graphics ain't everything.

The "water picture" is actual in game footage, the model picture is a show-tech picture how the model faces can actually look using DX10.

Thats why i said the FPS measures, refereed to the water picture.

flight simulator looks awesome but i don't think you'd be uninstalling quake when you get it (if you get it at all)

It is *not* an ingame shot. That photo has been label as an artist's impression of how MS Flight Simulator should look like in DX10.

When it says rendered i expect it to be in game ?

by **SavageX** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 4:39 pm

Nope. It's not ingame.
