realistic game computer graphics

Most often, 3D engines or the rendering systems in game engines are built upon a graphics API such as Direct3D or OpenGL which provides a software abstraction of the GPU or video card. Low-level libraries such as DirectX, SDL, and OpenAL are also commonly used in games as they provide hardware-independent access to other computer hardware such as input devices (mouse, keyboard, and joystick), network cards, and sound cards. Before hardware-accelerated 3D graphics, software renderers had been used. Software rendering is still used in some modeling tools or for still-rendered images when visual accuracy is valued over real-time performance (frames-per-second) or when the computer hardware does not meet requirements such as shader support or, in the case of Windows Vista, support for Direct3D 10.
With the advent of hardware accelerated physics processing, various physics API such as PAL and the physics extensions of COLLADA (an interchange format for 3D assets) became available to provide a software abstraction of the Physics processing unit of different middleware providers and console platforms.

"realistic game computer graphics"? most of this is just concept art...

If only I could give more than one thumb down...

@MrCrashReboot What? Now they want to sell us another piece of shit?

[MrCrashReboot]

modern graphics cards already have good PPU build-in, so their should be no reason now to buy a separate PPU card, I think I'm right :\
