The 1980s computer produces surprisingly gorgeous ray-traced results, but be prepared to measure performance by hour rather than second.

700 years worth of compute to do about an hour of gaming that I just did on my pc at home in realtime ... damn.
Did I math it right? I was averaging about 100 fps in hogwarts for about an hour.
Say you generated 86'400'000 frames. 17h a frame that's roughly 16'767 years.
