SwiftShader is a high-performance CPU-based renderer developed by TransGaming Inc. that simulates a fully functional 3D graphics card using only your computer's processor. It takes the game's graphical instructions and executes them via the CPU. For older games like Hitman: Blood Money that strictly expect older pixel and vertex shaders, SwiftShader translates these instructions seamlessly, allowing the game to boot and run beautifully on systems that lack legacy GPU support.
