We knew that question was coming, so we went to Dennis to actually go, hey, you built the machine, right? So, Intel i7, 6 core, 64 gigs of RAM, with an Asus 1080 with 8 gigs. I'm not sure on the SSDs.

Chris Roberts · CEO and Project Director

I think it was, we're partnering with Intel, they have this new SSD, so they sent us some of their SSDs and so we had one of them. I don't think it's actually the future one that we may be involved in, which is going to be super, super fast, although I think this one was a really fast, good one.

A single card, not two cards.

Brian Chambers · Development Director

Yes, absolutely. I find it telling, though, that that was the most asked question out of everything by the time we had looked, right? Because people go, if I think it through, they go, wow, there was a lot going on there. What kind of rig do I need to be able to pull that off, right? And it's not crazy components there. They're definitely higher end, right?

Tony Zurovec · Persistent Universe Director

But that's always a big part of the problem, right? There are a number of people in the industry that can basically push things to the next level, but doing it such that you can actually get a playable frame rate is a completely different set of problems. And, as you and Chris were both saying, there's a constant concentrated focus going forward, especially on all the new tech, to basically utilize additional CPU cores.

Brian Chambers · Development Director

Absolutely. I have had that question a lot with Frankfurt and engine tech and so on. And I would say, yes, we're absolutely trying to future-proof everything. Trying to build things now to where we can look ahead and go, okay, where's it going tech-wise and hardware-wise, to make sure that we're as solid as possible.
