Yeah, some of them are very gpu and or CPU bound - Fairlights particle based rendering in particular are a strain on most systems - but to be fair most demos are designed to work with medium hardware - the trick is getting a lot out of it without resorting to 8 CPUs 3 GPUs and a tonne of memory

(this demo runs just fine on a 260GTX for example - this demo is GPU heavy)

most of the time the demos will run just fine without you needing up to date HW etc

DirectX10 is what we use (it, amongst other things has less dependancy issues than DX9)

you should definitely have a look at some of the newer stuff from last year and this year, so good demos

They are still pushing. And I'm sorry that you missed the glorious demo years of the 2000s
I, sadly, lost a bit of an interest when my computer could no longer handle the processing needs of demos a year ago.

Wow, Demo comps are still going on? I used to love these things back in the '90s when they were pushing the limits of pre-hardware-accelerated graphics.

*wtf *fail - I'm sorry, but what in the fuck were they thinking of having a 13 year old sing this....shite?

bollocks I misvoted this one up - I hate it when that happens - but yep, sorry, do not agree with the conjuncture here

am I so wrong to *promote this?

reminds me of Friends when Phoebe tells the kids with a song the brutal truth of where hamburgers come from...
