Epic followed up on its mighty impressive Samaritan tech demo with an unveil of Unreal Engine 4 at this year’s GDC. Unfortunately, those privy to details are bound by a heavily restrictive NDA so footage hasn’t emerged just yet. What’s interesting, though, is that according to Epic Games president Mark Rein – the Samaritan demo is now able to run a single GPU powered by Nvidia yet-to-be-released Kepler architecture.
In contrast, it took three high-end Nvidia GTX580 GPUs in SLI configuration to run the demo previously. The UE4 demo also ran on a Kepler card, though configuration details were not specified. In any case, the fact that you’ll be able to get Samaritan-level visuals on Nvidia’s new Kepler line with a single card is quite impressive. What a difference a year makes.
