Nvidia are in San Francisco right now, at the Games Developer’s Conference. They’re showing off this impressive real time tech demo, running on a single GTX680 card at 30 frames per second.
The video shows the systematic destruction of an ancient Roman-looking arena with dust simulation. There’s not a lot in the way of textures on show but the structural disintegration looks really impressive and that’s on a card which is readily available for PC builders right now (although very expensive), and not even their top end product.
Later this evening at GDC, Hideo Kojima is set to give a talk about his Fox Engine and how it pertains to Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, so expect to see more engine-demonstrating loveliness quite soon.
I’m imagining a new Red Faction game with that kind of destruction, what about you?

Very true. I was reading up on GFXs when I was doing my build. They reckon there isn’t much between a single GTX670 and GTX680. I thought that it was the best card for the job. Then I went OTT and bought two. Minecraft sure looks nice xD
