cryengine 3 realtime GI - the line begins to blur

guys, look at this:

global illumination with volumetrics in realtime, and at 120fps with geforce 280?
why not!

i wonder when we'll see realtime engines with quality similar to production renderings done with v-ray.
a year ago I thought it was at least 5-10 years away.
today - maybe 2 or 3.

now if only we could harness the powers that lie within gpus for production renderings..
i know that v-ray RT for CUDA is in the works, but what about v-ray adv for CUDA?

imagine - instead of waiting ~30mins for a frame you get ~30 frames per second - with GI and all, production quality. no more sleepless nights at the office, no more quality vs. time dillemas etc - if only
for some time

here's hoping for v-ray 2.0 to deliver such a miracle

if its the same thing I saw at siggraph, its far from comparison to realtime. Its predefined volumes which means they have to be placed by hand for each object.

It looks very good for games but I don't really see global illumination there or at least good distribution of the lights and shadows.

here the first batch of screenshots, the nanosuit hints that the engine is dx11 enabled (hw tessellation)

If you ever used their map editor, you'll want to pull your nose hairs out.
