Uh. So let me get this straight.
Crysis rigs will be doing real-time ray-tracing with other Crysis rigs, as well as smaller, less powerful machines (cell phones, EeePC) in an ad-hoc rendering cluster, at 30 frames per second, for clients on cell phones as well as the aforementioned Crysis rigs and eeePCS?
So an ad-hoc, decentralized render farm is going to do live ray-tracing on data that is going to have to be analyzed, chopped up, and distributed on a network constantly in every possible direction for 30 frames a second? With photorealistic graphics on an eeePC? OVER A PEER TO PEER NETWORK? WITH REALTIME MOVEMENT AND INTERACTION?
What the fuck are you smoking?
