GOOD FPS!

Laughable requirements. 1080p @ 20 fps? Nigga please. 125 fps is mandatory, resolution is secondary.

indeed, should be 125 at 800x600 or 640x480 picmiped to hell

really ? O.o wow this is awesome !

It would have made way more sense to aim for 125 fps.
Otherwise you are treating q3 like an rts. And at this point, there are more famouse games with graphic similar to quake, like dota.

Why is the barrier so low? They already released a video of them running Q3 2 years ago with around 20fps

Their goal isn't to further optimise things, it is to port the newly open sourced code over to the pi and make sure that the open sourced version is no worse than the closed source version. Hence setting the goal at something they can already achieve.

so take it you got this 10G under lockdown

Na, I don't have time for non-work coding anymore, some day I will play with a pi though.

My Raspberry stopped booting :(

the point is not to use rasberry PI to play quake at 125fps

the point is to stretch barebone hardware to acceptably run Q3A engine at high res requirements and establish the roadmap for further development

I'd say the point should be being able to run it at 125fps. This first milestone isnt tho.

That was clear.
The point is that quake at high resolution and 20 fps.... isn't even quake.

"The aim of the contest is to port the Broadcom VideoCore IV open source graphics driver stack to run on Raspberry Pi, and to deliver implementations of libGLESv1_CM.so and libEGL.so which can run Quake III time demo four, at a resolution of 1920×1080 and a minimum of 20fps, without making use of the capabilities of the blob (the Requirements)."

They just want the new open source drivers ported, the Q3 part is just to make sure most features of the port work. And because Q3 is (or was) generally used as a standard hardware benchmark test.

So that little thing is a computer? Or what?

think of it as a smartphone without screen

think of a smartphone being a little computer with a screen

i dont get it? :L

I don't think you are surprising many of us.

Posting in a Raspberry Pi thread.

How the fuck would you even start to do something like that?

Well, here's a 10k USD tutorial for you all then, enjoy!

Isnt the Pi limited to 720?

Or even just a composite video output? It wouldn't make sense to render at a higher rez than it can display. Come to think of it what is the best refresh rate a Pi can do? 30hz? 60hz?

60 Hz doesn't matter. The feel (and maxpackets etc) are vastly different between 60 fps and 125 fps. 125 pls.

its able to encode in 1080p30fps and has a HDMI output (you can even see that one on the screenshot)
its pixel clock limit is 1080p/60hz or 720p/120hz according to http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt

I'd say that sounded like the most stupidest thing ever, but for 10,000 I would fucking do something like that even if there's limitations with the Raspberry PI.

this thread...
/facepalm

Missing the point much.

such a scam lolol

Won't happen.

boo

I saw this on the news section of PCper the last podcast
