Caustic Graphics is back in the news again, this time with a review of the CausticOne hardware from PC Perspective. Things don’t really look that good, but promise to improve in the next rev:
Early hardware dubbed CausticOne (that giant slab of silicon above) manages 3 – 5 frames-per-second in the demonstration video after the break. That’s not nearly enough for twitchy first-person shooters, but second-gen hardware due next year is looking to deliver 14 times that — plenty to get your high-reflectivity frag on.
See the demonstration video after the break.
