Epic demonstrates Unreal Engine 3 on Nvidia Kepler video card

The Samaritan demo from Epic’s Unreal Engine 3, which last year for the first time it was displayed, demonstrated, but on a single Nvidia Kepler card. Previously there were only several Nvidia GTX580 cards.

According to an interview with Venturebeat of Epic’s executive chairman Eric Rein declined, there is but a single Nvidia Kepler graphics card needed for the Samaritan demo Unreal Engine 3 smoothly to render. With that demo want Epic to show what they mean by ‘next-generation 3d graphics in a game”.

The demonstration now shows a huge difference with march last year when there were three Nvidia GTX580 graphics cards, with a huge psu, were necessary for the demo to render. The Kepler architecture is the next step in Nvidia’s line-up. Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 600-line would still be released in the first quarter of 2012, probably at the end of march or in april.

The new engine from Unreal, with the help of Adobe Flash 11.2, also in the most common browsers running such as Safari, IE, Firefox and Chrome. The Flash version, which only release candidates, you may immediately graphic cards appeal to, instead of just on the cpu to run. That can since Flash 11, but the 11.2 update improves that functionality.

Epic is also working on the development of Unreal Engine 4, but will only release if the next generation of consoles come out. To continue the improvements to the current, third-generation engine. The first game that made use of Unreal Engine 3 was Gears of War, which in 2006 came out.
