Raytracing is just number crunching, which has already been shown is something the ps3 is good at. The whole point of vertex shaders, etc... is that ray-tracing isn't practical for real time apps like games (yet). |
The number crunching potential of the SPEs can be used for adding effects, I just used the Raytracing example to debunk what can and can't be done (as the RSX wasn't used in the rendering of graphics on Linux).
