If you're an avid gamer, you've likely heard the term "ray-tracing" somewhere on the internet or in advertisements. Since the launch of NVIDIA's first-generation RTX GPUs, the term has become increasingly common. However, AMD has also launched a lineup of GPUs that support ray-tracing. ...
That's currently only of real interest to gamers in testing Nvidia's Ampere GPUs to AMD's RDNA 2 GPUs, both of which contain ray tracing acceleration and today receive full driver support for Vulkan Ray Tracing. However, Intel Xe-HPG GPUs, Intel's upcoming gaming chips, will also be ...
It is also said that the internal ray tracing performance estimates look really good and AMD Navi 20 GPUs may end up being competitive or even faster than the competing NVIDIA GeForce RTX cards (Navi 20 flagship vs GeForce RTX 2080 Ti). It is also stated that HPC or datacenter cards based...
Ray tracing technology is an advanced graphics display technology supported on desktop GPUs. By calculating the position of light and the area of reflection, the pixels in the position area are rendered one by one to produce a lifelike effect. This technology is is also about to be carried on...
“Ray-tracing on AMD GPUs is disabled at launch. We are working closely with AMD to enable support as soon as possible,” says Insomniac Games. Admittedly, that doesn’t really say much, although it does leave gamers hopeful that ray tracing might soon be an option for AMD, too. However...
Ray tracing performance We also benchmarked the Radeon RX 6700 XT in a handful of titles that support cutting-edge real-time ray tracing effects. While the newer Radeon RX 6000-series GPUs now support ray tracing, older AMD models don’t, so you won’t find the 5700 XT in the chart be...
I am interested in accessing the raytracing capabilities of AMD GPUs for use with OpenGL 4.6. This could be done through proprietary APIs, as some other vendors do, or as an official OpenGL extension. Can you provide any information on this? AMD's mid-range cards provide support for basic...
“Ray Tracing: Ultra” preset at 4K, can be incredibly demanding on your PC — even when using the most powerful graphics cards. Currently, there are no GPUs available that can run the game at native 4K using the “Ray Tracing: Ultra” preset at 60 FPS or higher. Using up...
In addition to enhanced gaming performance, RDNA 4 GPUs will feature advanced ray tracing capabilities and integrated AI enhancements. These upgrades are designed to provide more realistic lighting and shadow effects in games, as well as support for AI-driven applications and processes....
While Ray Tracing has worked on Linux for a long time with NVIDIA, the situation with Mesa+AMD is still being worked out but the good news is that it's all finally coming together. Developer Bas Nieuwenhuizen wrote in anew blog postabout the current situation noting that a...
