They showed a prototype of a destructible environment running on two machines, one of them bolstered by T3H CLOUD. It's a pretty simple demo: the solo machine dips to a couple frames per second when they start blowing up the buildings, and the other machine keeps at the starting 32FPS. No ETA on when we might see the technology come to us consumers, but it's nice to see the progress.

It's really nice to hear their expert opinions. Especially after, you know, spending decades in the business building this stuff themselves...
