Oh for the life of a student. A German student to be precise.
For a project, students of two universties in Germany attempted to run a game with real-time raytracing, lighting etc effects. Anyone who's tried 3d max/lightwave can tell you rendering with these options on with a few k polys and a few lights normally takes a few minutes per frame.
So what you need is a powerful pc. Actually 20 clustered XP1800s to be precise. With a total combined processing power of 36Ghz
It doesnt look all that impressive from the pics, but i'm reliably told the movies you can download (from below) are jaw-dropping.
