Founded by three engineers from Apple, Caustic Graphics promises to speed up the realistic renderings through a combination of chips and software. Jon Skillings is an editorial director at CNET, where ...

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 ...

Ray tracing may well be more commonplace in games these days but it's still seen as a hugely difficult graphics feature to process, requiring powerful graphics cards with dedicated ray tracing ...

Ray tracing technology is changing how modern games render light by simulating how rays travel, bounce, and interact with objects in a virtual environment. This allows graphics rendering to produce ...

In computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light through pixels in an image plane and simulating the effects of its encounters with virtual objects ...

Nvidia said Friday at that it has bought the ray-tracing company RayScale. The purchase has a lot of significance in the war of words between Nvidia and Intel over graphics. The new acquisition could ...

Chromebooks and Linux laptops with ARM-based processors and NVIDIA RTX graphics could be on the horizon. NVIDIA has released a demonstration showing PC games running on computer with a MediaTek ...

Ray tracing this, ray tracing that. Almost everywhere you go during this current gaming generation, you're going to hear about this new technology. NVIDIA and AMD are doing it with their modern ...

Last fall, we examined real-time ray tracing performance in 3D modeling programs and discussed some of the promises and challenges surrounding the technology. At the time, there weren't any hardware ...

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 ...
