@ kiki well, swiftshader software rendering is not the same as SW TnL, in sw tnl, it's software vertex rendering, while in swiftshader, all the graphics call process by the CPU, means all pixel and vertex shader on CPU...that's basically the simplest explanation, if u want more, tell me..^^
@tribaljet lol, yeah i do agree that sw renderer is not for everyday usage, as it damages components that arent cool effectively...but then again i have interest in sw renderer as it is good to see some advancement, for me sw renderer is important because they provide full support over any shader model programed, thus can be useful to diagnose graphic problem both existing in discreet and integrated platform... also i dont think others will agree that swiftshader can be use for everyday gaming, but still they are happy just not by playing the game via low fps, they are happy bacause they can run it at last, and i know how it feels, although i believe not all are happy to play at low fps..just run it for a mere 3 minutes for that happiness is more than enough, then never touch swiftshader again, that's what i do long ago..lol..
