Nvidia explains ray tracing in a video released Thursday, just in time for a new driver for GeForce GTX GPUs and new demos demonstrating the technology, according to a press release. The explainer ...
Nvidia OptiX (OptiX Application Acceleration Engine) is a ray tracing API that was first developed around 2009. [1] The computations are offloaded to the GPUs through either the low-level or the high-level API introduced with CUDA. CUDA is only available for Nvidia's graphics products. Nvidia OptiX is part of Nvidia GameWorks. OptiX is a high ...
The Turing microarchitecture combines multiple types of specialized processor core, and enables an implementation of limited real-time ray tracing. [4] This is accelerated by the use of new RT (ray-tracing) cores, which are designed to process quadtrees and spherical hierarchies, and speed up collision tests with individual triangles.
Various implementations of ray tracing hardware have been created, both experimental and commercial: (1995) Advanced Rendering Technology (ART) founded [6] in Cambridge, UK, based on a 1994 PhD thesis, to produce dedicated ray tracing silicon (initially the "AR250" chip, which accelerated ray-triangle intersection, bounding box traversal and shading), using a "RenderDrive" networked ...
NVIDIA spent the past two years selling the idea of real-time ray tracing. And I mean, really selling it. There was the slick Star Wars demo that showed where the technology could lead.
DLSS 3.5 adds ray reconstruction, replacing multiple denoising algorithms with a single AI model trained on five times more data than DLSS 3. Ray reconstruction is available on all RTX GPUs and first targeted games with path tracing (aka "full ray tracing"), including Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC, Portal with RTX, and Alan Wake 2.

This recursive ray tracing of reflective colored spheres on a white surface demonstrates the effects of shallow depth of field, "area" light sources, and diffuse interreflection. (c. 2008) In 3D computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for modeling light transport for use in a wide variety of rendering algorithms for generating digital images.
Ray-traced model demonstrating specular reflection. Reflection in computer graphics is used to render reflective objects like mirrors and shiny surfaces. Accurate reflections are commonly computed using ray tracing whereas approximate reflections can usually be computed faster by using simpler methods such as environment mapping.
