Trazec is a startup company, they claim the invention of a new algorithm to speed up the GPU based rendering by 900%. http://trazec.com


Their home page say "GPU speed increase of 66%." Did it change since you looked at it?


Says 900% in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsW1ShgOOQ8

I've downloaded their "Demo 2", which I suppose it to include their BC-8 magic, and tested it with fraps, I got the same exact FPS using the original demo (called Rigid Gems).


seems like bullshit to me.

site says nothing about their secret sauce


Are they running a crowdfunding campaign?

An aside:

For those people who claim miracles on kickstarter, indiegogo, et al. If the ideas were sound, why not license the idea to people who know the manufacturing and science already?

The odds seem higher it's an amateur with little idea of the science, and perhaps an idea already thrown around by an engineer at these firms.

Not to pick on the wishful gullibility of the masses to get entranced by well-made ad, or individual entrepreuners with severe Dunning-Kruger naivete, but perhaps "crowdsourced" investors should at least be backed by a reputable subject in the field and a background check.
