Ask HN: Trazec claims a 900% GPU boost, is it real?
Trazec is a startup company, they claim the invention of a new algorithm to speed up the GPU based rendering by 900%.

I've downloaded their "Demo 2", which I suppose it to include their BC-8 magic, and tested it with fraps, I got the same exact FPS using the original demo (called Rigid Gems).
site says nothing about their secret sauce
An aside:
For those people who claim miracles on kickstarter, indiegogo, et al. If the ideas were sound, why not license the idea to people who know the manufacturing and science already?
The odds seem higher it's an amateur with little idea of the science, and perhaps an idea already thrown around by an engineer at these firms.
Not to pick on the wishful gullibility of the masses to get entranced by well-made ad, or individual entrepreuners with severe Dunning-Kruger naivete, but perhaps "crowdsourced" investors should at least be backed by a reputable subject in the field and a background check.
