With Unreal Engine 4, Koola has been able to deliver photo-realistic real-time architectural visualisations.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, he was able to deliver photo-realistic graphics at around\u00a030 to 45fps, on a i7-3770 with a GTX670, as shown in the video below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gC0PdspqNYk\" width=\"600\" height=\"339\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But he has\u00a0now approached consistent real-time graphics rendering at 50 to 60fps. All of these renderings are photo-realistic, and the fact that he is getting between 50 to 60fps is impressive to say the least.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/blueChairs_600-600x721-1309947865.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-76284 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/blueChairs_600-600x721-1309947865.jpg\" alt=\"Unreal Engine 4 Chairs\" width=\"600\" height=\"721\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What we really want to know is what rig he&#8217;s using to pull of these visuals and frames.

Plausibly though it may be, this only applies to\u00a0PC gamers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stairway-600x743-1276826336.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-76286 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stairway-600x743-1276826336.jpg\" alt=\"Unreal Engine 4 stairs\" width=\"600\" height=\"743\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All that is hinted at is that Koola is using &#8220;consumer-level hardware&#8221; to render everything.

Realistically that\u00a0might be a bit overkill.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that one artist\u00a0is already getting performance like this out of Unreal Engine 4 is staggering. We can&#8217;t wait to see what Epic Games delivers with\u00a0<em>Unreal Tournament<\/em> in the near future.
