It is generally accepted that Russian Elbrus processors, like computers based on it, are not designed for games. However, everyone knows that the game is not much different from any application. Is that the need for a hardware graphics accelerator.
One way or another, but in the official Instagram "Yandex Museum" a video that demonstrates the launch of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on the Elbrus 801-RS computer. More precisely, it is a fan-made implementation called OpenMW. As part of the project, enthusiasts create a free cross-platform version of the game engine with modern graphics. The project itself is available on GitHub.
The launch of the game and the first seconds of the gameplay are shown directly. While it is difficult to assess the quality of work, but the fact itself is impressive. In the first seconds, you can not see the fading of the picture or sound, any failures, and so on.
Of course, until it is clarified what the configuration of the PC is, how much the game "hammers" the processor and RAM, which GPU is used. However, it is already clear that at least some games will work on Elbrus. This will expand the scope of domestic processors, attract the attention of enthusiasts and the community to them.
Earlier about the release of PDK Elbrus 4.0 for x86-64 processors. Everyone can already download and test the new builds. As noted, these assemblies are intended for developers, but no one prevents other users from using them.
