Nvidia Demonstrates Interactive Ray-tracing
SIGGRAPH 2010, the annual computer graphics trade show of the ACM, started is exhibition Tuesday and Nvidia demonstrated at its booth the latest Quadro Fermi graphics cards.
Nvidia demonstrated the new release of the Application Acceleration Engine, AXE 2.0. The new version is optimized to run on the new Quadro Fermi cards, but will run on any G92 or later generation cards. These engines allow for interactive ray-tracing where the user can interact with the ray-traced scene quickly without an extensive wait for re-rendering.
Nvidia’s 'mental images' division also demonstrated its iRay application, which takes the above capabilities and adds physically correct global illumination to the features. Global illumination is critical for correct lighting in most 3D digital content creation and the ability to view and interact with a globally illuminated scene will greatly accelerate the ability of artists to work quickly. In addition iRay supports network distributed rendering across GPUs.
Nvidia partners like The Foundry, RTT, and Bunkspeed also demonstrated their applications making use of CUDA-accelerated interactive ray-tracing. RTT’s application actually calculated airflow over the model and rendered the model, interactively, both using CUDA, while Bunkspeed’s SHOT uses mental images' iRay to provide interative ray tracing and global illumination.
In a few GPU generations, these can be expected to proceed from ‘interactive’ to ‘real-time’ and we should start seeing the use of real-time ray-tracing and global illumination in games.

That viper looks absolutely incredible!
That viper looks absolutely incredible!
Hard to believe it's not a real photo eh ... crazy!
My mind screams FAKE FAKE FAKE even when I know this is true
hard to believe that in 5-10 years this is how most games will look...

Looking forward to it!
Can't wait. Looks awesome. In 10yrs time imagine playing a gran turismo style game on a 200" screen with photo realistic imaging. It'll be allmost the same as sitting behind the wheel
time to kick it up a notch - i would like my holodeck please ;-)
Looks like a great step forward, will be great when it is introduced into teh mainstream
But why oh why did they have to call the software iRay? c'mon for gods sake get some imagination..... Sigh
Guys please help I have just purchase a Palit GTX 460 1gb Sonic (not the platinum) and I cant find a review for love nor money. I have looked on Newegg and alot of people are saying Palit lied about vrm heatsinks and displayed a different model to websites than is actually marketed. I know this is a better question for the forums but I dont use them and it isnt to far from the intial thread. Any opinions would be much appreciated.
Will this card die quicker than other cards?
Should I use after market heatsinks that may void my warranty?
Should I just return the card?
Thanks

What's stopping you from just monitoring temps?
If they're higher then they should be, cry foul and return it.
This has nothing to do with the news report however, go to the forums next time.
