On Windows and Linux there is the NVIDIA developed Vulkan driver which supports Vulkan 1.2 on Kepler cards [101] with no further updates planned after September 2021. [102] Maxwell and newer support Vulkan 1.3. [103] NVK, an experimental, open source Vulkan driver for Linux based on nouveau, was announced in October 2022. [104]
Vulkan's updated software kit should bring ray tracing to more games and apps without depending on DirectX.
Key elements include dedicated artificial intelligence processors ("Tensor cores") and dedicated ray tracing processors ("RT cores"). Turing leverages DXR, OptiX, and Vulkan for access to ray tracing. In February 2019, Nvidia released the GeForce 16 series GPUs, which utilizes the new Turing design but lacks the RT and Tensor cores.
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 ...
A main development target of Mesa 23.0 was ray tracing for Vulkan. [61] [62] Microsoft develops the Dozen driver for Vulkan in WSL. Vulkan 1.0+ with 80% 1.1 and 1.2 will be available in Mesa 23.2 after delay to 23.1 (See mesamatrix). [63] RustiCL for AMD hardware is available in 23.1. [64] VirGL for virtual machines jumps in Mesa 23.2 to OpenGL ...
With the GeForce 20 series, Nvidia introduced the RTX development platform. RTX uses Microsoft's DXR, Nvidia's OptiX, and Vulkan for access to ray tracing. [54] The ray tracing technology used in the RTX Turing GPUs was in development at Nvidia for 10 years. [55] Nvidia's Nsight Visual Studio Edition application is used to inspect the state of ...
The GeForce 30 series is a suite of graphics processing units (GPUs) developed by Nvidia, succeeding the GeForce 20 series.The GeForce 30 series is based on the Ampere architecture, which features Nvidia's second-generation ray tracing (RT) cores and third-generation Tensor Cores. [3]
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.
