Every few years, it seems like there's an amazing new technology with the promise of making games look ever more realistic. Over the decades, we've had shaders, tessellation, shadow mapping, ray ...

Ray tracing and path tracing sound similar — and technically, they are. Both methods simulate how light travels in a 3D environment, but the way they work and the results they produce are completely ...

Whether you belong to Team Nvidia or team AMD, Xbox or PlayStation, or even Apple Mac vs PC, you’ve probably heard of ray-tracing. It's the holy grail for computer graphics. It works by simulating ...

Unless you're a physicist, you probably don't pay too much mind to the function of light in your daily life. Light is light, right? When there is light, we see, and when there isn't, we don't. But ...

Ray tracing and path tracing are two of the most exciting and demanding dynamic lighting techniques available to gamers and game developers in 2024. They both represent a massive leap in realism over ...

Nvidia and AMD revealed at Computex 2022 that Hitman 3 would receive support for ray tracing and both Nvidia and AMD’s supersampling technologies, following an announcement from developer IO ...

Forward-looking: Recent big game releases appear to confirm that ray tracing and path tracing are the future of graphics rendering. However, these techniques remain prohibitively computationally ...

Although benchmarks are never perfect, they’re a useful tool for judging comparative performance. Basemark has just such a tool in its new In Vitro GPU test suite and kindly provided a copy to Android ...
