Nvidia released their VXGI Apollo 11 moon landing demo, only runs on GTX 970 or 980

The demo uses a version of Unreal Engine 4. I always like seeing new tech, and hope we eventually get some sort of voxel global illumination in game engines. I bet there will be more tech demos using it over the next few years. I'll be crying in the corner with my GTX 760.

yeah, you and me both
This summer I bought a 780. At the time, I figured it would at least last a year or two before it came across some tech it couldn't keep up with. :icon60:

Awesome, too bad Amazon hasn't shipped my 970 yet. Its been over a month now.

Same...
That being said, with the current gen's specs, I doubt you'll have much trouble running any game on 'high' settings in the next few years.

So cool to see so many GPU powered things, it is really amazing.

I still have a 580. But will move to a 970 (when they are in stock) as my main and the 580 to power the other stuff.

So anyone ??? How was the performance of the thing ? A friend said he got below 30 FPS.

( Yeah I don't have GTX 970 ! So what ! )

At some point I am planning to get a 970 to replace my 545. Ue4 15 fps at lowest settings is too laggy for me.
