After our recent extensive investigation into ray tracing game performance, where we analyzed its visual and performance impact across 36 modern games, we can continue exploring the real-world ...

The gaming industry has been a forefront for technology since its early days, pushing the expectations of things like handheld computing, online communication, and of course, graphics. For the last ...

Special hardware units handle ray traversal, freeing up the GPU shaders. While video game consoles have finally reached the age of ray tracing, performing those graphical calculations in real time can ...

Processors Intel says its graphics drivers are now 'light years ahead of where we were a few years ago', and they'll need to be if it's going to tempt gamers towards its new iGPUs Graphics Cards 'It ...

The next iteration of Nvidia's DLSS technology has landed and today we're checking out what DLSS 3.5 is and more specifically, take a closer look at its new ray reconstruction feature. The new tech ...

Real-time path tracing, the next stage of game rendering, is on the horizon, Nvidia says. But wait--didn't RTX just get here? So what is path tracing, how is it different from ray tracing, and why ...
