I'm still surprised that a processor that's specifically designed for the millions of calculations that go into the pictures we produce in poser & other 3d programs is just left idle while the main processor does the work. Daz Studio is a step in the right direction but even that doesn't use the extra processor to do the final render. I recently bought Unreal Tournament 2004 & even on my aging Geforce2 it still has hundreds of thousands of polygons flying round the screen at a decent speed. Why are we still having programs doing these types of calculations in software & waiting for ages for it when we have the equipment that can do the same calculations in seconds right in front of us now?
