Renderosity reviews MachStudio Pro on the FirePro V8750 - the future of real time rendering

I've been a champion of MachStudio Pro since I first saw it a year ago. But the software is now making real headway into the mainstream and getting some great reviews along the way. Renderosity just released a comprehensive review and it is worth pointing out some of the highlights:

"This is a jaw-dropping software application. It's hard to describe the impact of seeing complex lighting and shaders being applied in real-time. Every aspect of the program has been carefully considered and designed to be discreet and out of the way until you need it. And although the program doesn't render every single scene in absolute real-time, the rendering is so much faster that it seems almost real-time to anyone who has had to take a coffee break while waiting for a lighting pass to render on their render farm."

Now for all of us who live for the "what's coming next" news: Check out these two bullets:

• Raytracing using DX11 Compute Shaders - "I had a first-hand demonstration of what looks to be the first DirectX 11 “compute shade” raytracing prototype, which looked fantastic. I believe Yoni told me that this will be the first time raytracing will be applied using the GPU only."
• Hair - “anything you can do in 'Shave and a Haircut' you can do in MachStudio Pro's hair mode.

MachStudio Pro ships with the ATI FirePro v8750 card which carries a full 2GB DDR5 graphics memory and 800 unified shader engines. "It is quite simply the best video card you can get, hands down."
