gollark: They would need cubical chunks or would waste lots of memory.
gollark: I have an R3 1200, which is at least good-for-the-time-I-got-it in multicore.
gollark: Probably partly I guess? Garbage collection is evil.
gollark: At 1080p, though.
gollark: My ultra-powerful GTX 1050 can of course manage an astonishing 50FPS on my used and at this point not even new to me monitor.
