It won’t be something that will become big within games for a while, since the install base is going to be so small.
But–for developers things will be much faster. I’d expect the baked lighting system in UE4 to support acceleration from this at some point soon.
And with things like NVlink which allows you to combine the memory of multiple GPU’s it’s much more viable for doing light baking since you aren’t as limited in what you can render.

So for real time–it’ll take a while
But for developers using it with baked lighting it will be useful very soon.

How does nvlink work? Are you saying i could somehow combine 3 different computers gpus to share memory for something very memory intensive ?
