Comment Re:Quake 3: Raytraced (Score 1) 237
It's really playable on the hardware they use in the University of Saarbrücken. One of the people involved with this went to school with my sister. I could ask him if there still is work being done on it.
However, what I know is: They made a prototype of a graphics card (SaarCOR) with raytracing hardware instead of a rasterizer (http://graphics.cs.uni-sb.de/SaarCOR/).
The RT-Quake 3 ran on a cluster of several (20 I think) computers, that's why a virtual Intel CPU of 36 GHz is shown.
So, when you have over 20 computers left for a playable Q3 Raytracing you might contact them and you too will be able to play.
