Watch their announcement video on youtube, it screams VC funding scam. The whole announcement is basically just the CEO sitting on a couch and making outrageous claims, while all the supporting data and graphs carry the disclaimer “pre-silicon simulated benchmarks”. They say they’re going to have a live demo this month and in the following months, but they don’t even have real silicon, while also claiming they’re going to be shipping cards by Q4 2026.
Well, until GPUs can be used as CPUs, ganes will not benefit from cardes that are that much more powerful. I mean, whether my games look fine, good or great, when there’s a drop in performance that impacts my enjoyment, it’s always CPU load (or memory leaks); never the GPU.
Still, a fully path traced game without the loss in detail that comes from heavy spatial and temporal resampling would be great
And with enough performance, we could have that in VR too. According to my calculations in another comment a while ago that I can’t be bothered to find, if this company’s claims are to be believed (unlikely) this card should be fast enough for nearly flawless VR path tracing.
It’s less exciting for gamers than it is for graphics devs, because no existing games are designed to take advantage of this high of rt performance
10x Faster!*
*10x faster when thrown off the side of a building compared to stationary Nvidia 5090, actual clock speeds comparable.
