In context: Previous generations of AMD graphics cards have lagged behind Nvidia's in ray tracing performance, but Team Red's most recent Radeon RX 9000 GPUs have made significant strides in closing the gap. Numerous recent patents suggest the company is only just getting started, with future hardware potentially making ray tracing and path tracing more accessible. Reddit user MrMPFR's analysis of AMD patents from the past year and a half reveals that the company is serious about treating ray t

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 expensive. The next major update to Microsoft's DirectX API aims to address this and facilitate broader adoption of the technology. Microsoft's GDC presentation this week offered a glimpse into the future of DirectX ray tracing support. The company claims that DirectX Raytracing 1.2 could help developer

Edit: The article originally said Intel’s BVH nodes were 4-wide, based on a misreading of QuadLeaf. After inspecting Intel compiler code, QuadLeaf actually means two merged triangles with a shared side (a quadrilateral, not a quad of four triangles). Intel’s discrete GPU strategy has emphasized add-on features ever since Alchemist launched. Right from the start, Intel invested heavily in dedicated matrix multiplication units, raytracing accelerators, and hardware video codecs. Battlemage contin

When people hear the words desktop computer, many think of a massive behemoth. The visual gets a heaping helping of RGB when you throw the word “gaming” into the mix. But not all gaming desktops have to be massive. Want proof? Take a look at the Falcon Northwest Tiki, a compact powerhouse that can hold its own with the big boys. In the slim confines of the Tiki awaits an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and a Nvidia RTX 5080 GPU waiting to unleash hell upon your enemies, be they computer generated o
