Unreal Tournament 2K3 Gets Software Renderer

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday May 20, 2003 @04:31AM from the laptops-worldwide-scream-in-delight dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing out that the official Unreal Technology page has been updated with a software renderer for Unreal Tournament 2K3. This is an interesting step for those gamers with fast CPUs but inadequate 3D cards. The Pixomatic technology powering it was co-developed by Michael Abrash, John Carmack's right-hand man during the development of Quake, and a famous programmer and writer (at Microsoft and elsewhere) way before then.

Uh, easy, Laptops.
There are a lot more laptops with fast CPUs than laptops with high end 3D chipsets.
