Gears to get a big multi-threaded boost
In an interview with Eurogamer, Mark Rein – VP of Gears of War maker Epic Games – revealed that Gears will receive a big performance boost with a new mult-threaded rendering engine. While everyone was ranting and raving about how great the demo shown at E3 2006 was, Epic seems to have some surprises in store when it comes to the graphics department.
“[The E3 demo] was using our single-threaded rendered. We have our new Gemini multi-threaded rendered working in the engine right now,” Rein explained. “The final game’s built on it, it gives us better frame rates and more fluidity – UT 2007 will also benefit from it. It only gets better from here. So if you were impressed with Gears of War at E3, the finished game’s going to be much better, it’s going to be spectacular.”
