To achieve high efficiency with ray tracing, you must build a pipeline that scales well at every stage. To achieve high efficiency with ray tracing, you must build a pipeline that scales well at every stage. For ray tracing, visibility can be estimated directly based on the number of rays hitting each object.

Today, developers can access the latest versions of RTX Global Illumination (RTXGI), RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI), NVIDIA Real-Time Denoisers (NRD), and OptiX Ray Tracing Engine (OptiX). We’ve also done a significant code and API refactor and expanded RTXGI’s footprint with added support to Linux, Vulkan, and Arm platforms.

Featuring third-generation Ray Tracing Cores and fourth-generation Tensor Cores, they accelerate games that take advantage of the latest neural graphics and ray tracing technology. Path tracing takes a physics-based approach to how light moves around a scene.

Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering. Before NVIDIA RTX introduced real-time ray tracing to games, global illumination in games was largely static. Direct illumination alone (left) lacks indirect reflections.

For example, a shader can use warp shuffle instructions to exchange data between threads in a warp without going through shared memory, which is especially valuable in pixel shaders where there is no shared memory. However, those applications require a significant amount of shader and host code to work. x, u1 mov r3.yz, x, l(76), r3.xyzx
