| Oct 19, 2014 at 3:43 | comment | added | Connor Wolf | Uh, a GPU is a hardware optimized rendering engine. I don't see the distinction you seem to be making between a "hardware optimized game engine" and a GPU. That's what a GPU is. | |

| Oct 18, 2014 at 20:53 | comment | added | Nick Alexeev | There is a related development called PhysX, which is a hardware accelerated physics engine. | |
| Oct 18, 2014 at 19:33 | comment | added | Yordan Grigorov | 1)Depends on the engine 2)I don't see the problem with the game engine not being only about graphics. We can compute non-graphical things in circuitry too, right? | |

| Oct 18, 2014 at 19:10 | comment | added | user56452 | I totally agree with you :) But unfortunately, I have no answer too. | |
| Oct 18, 2014 at 19:05 | comment | added | Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams | Because the engine itself is 1) the easy part, and 2) more than just graphics. | |
