Yeah usually but on really low settings its running at about 20-25 fps you can play for 5 minuetes enough to see the water then the thing crashes the executable itself is about 50meg

The thing with raytracing is that the reason why it's really slow is because it's really slow. It can be done and it has been done (just search on Google for quake ray traced) but - despite the huge worthy achievement - it's still not suitable for real time games.

I know becaus eyou need a huge load of memory and ram to use it at a decent rate (60-100)
