Testing reveals these models require 8+ RTX 5090 GPUs (costing $40k+), crash frequently due to memory constraints, and can only run for minutes before failing. The technology maintains spatial consistency better than standard video generators by mapping pixels to 3D coordinates, but remains impractical for consumer hardware. Both companies acknowledge the high inference costs and stability issues, making replacement of traditional video games unrealistic with current architecture. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
