PCI express and tS / Was: PCI Express - Semantics 2004-08-15 - By emmanuel asset
Back Hi all, I have read with interest the recent topics about PCI express and Roman's posts about future PC hardware. Actually, the video card is used for real-time rendering of the workspace's scene. But when we press the render_to_file icon, it is the processor that does the job. Actually, the Pointersoft 3DeXplorer's real-time engine renders almost in the same level of quality as tS's computed render. That engine envolves both processor and video card chips. With these new motherboards and PCIe video cards, can we expect in a close future new versions of trueSpace able to render animations in almost real time ? Emmanuel
