"We consider a picture" or software emulation of shaders in the service office

Surely, many still have machines with outdated graphics cards, but more or less powerful processors. Now these are popularly called “office machines” - they put rather weak dual core Pentium on them, and the video card goes to the last plan, which is true. If you are the owner of such a device and want to see the beautiful DX9 on your built-in video card, or you are a fanatical before the game, released a couple of years ago, but a poor student, the owner, P4 3000MHZ and unhappy GFMX440. And maybe not at all, you wrote a cool DX9 renderer for your homebrew shooter, but you can’t drive a cheap 2003 laptop at your fingertips. If yes, then read on.

Now you can make any (almost) processor cheat DX8, DX9 scenes with shaders, without involving the power of the video card.
