[ad_1] Whether or not developers support the approach depends on their reliance on Vulkan and willingness to implement ray tracing in the first place. Right now, hardware-accelerated ray tracing is only available with a handful of GPUs. Programmers won’t have to throw out their existing knowledge, at least. The Vulkan extensions use a “familiar overall […]

An algorithm could make CPUs a cheap way to train AI
[ad_1] Typically, companies use GPUs as acceleration hardware in implementing deep learning in technology. But this is pricey — top of the line GPU platforms cost around $100,000. Rice researchers have now created a cost-saving alternative, an algorithm called sub-linear deep learning engine (SLIDE) that is able to do the same job of implementing deep […]
AMD’s new Radeon software offers game streaming away from home
[ad_1] If you are playing at home, you’ll notice some big differences. It now sports a revamped interface that serves as a central hub for launching games, streaming to social sites, checking for driver updates and other common tasks. You can even browse the web, and the software is context-sensitive to ensure you’re getting relevant […]
Are the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT ideal GPUs for your gaming PC?
[ad_1] If you opted to use one of these GPUs in a recent build we’re interested in hearing what you think: Did you also notice the blowers running hot? Were you able to squeeze some 4K performance out of the 5700 XT? Were there enough inputs for you? Did you feel like you missed out […]
NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs give a speed boost to Adobe’s AI features
[ad_1] As it does with games, RTX GPUs will also allow Adobe Dimension users to speed up rendering of 3D environments (an example is shown above) that use dynamic lighting, reflections and soft shadows. “We’re also adding interactive ray tracing that will enable artists to render fantastic 3D photorealistic scenes that take their environments to […]
NVIDIA will remaster more games with RTX ray tracing
[ad_1] Lightspeed worked on the Quake II RTX remaster and was also responsible for bringing numerous games to Android through NVIDIA’s Shield devices, including Half-Life 2 and even a China-only port of Super Mario Galaxy. It’s not surprising that NVIDIA would plan more frequent ray tracing updates. The company can use them to sell more […]
NVIDIA’s latest GPU drivers pack a speed boost for ‘Apex Legends’
[ad_1] NVIDIA is quick to acknowledge that the benefits aren’t quite as dramatic at higher resolutions (where you run into bottlenecks), but you should still see improvements at 4K. Keep in mind that the company is also using its latest graphics tech mated to a recent Core i9 processor — you might not see such […]
AMD fires back at ‘Super’ NVIDIA with Radeon 5700 price cuts
[ad_1] AMD just unveiled its new Radeon 5700 line of graphics cards with 7nm chips at E3 last month, and with just days to go before they launch on July 7th, the company has announced new pricing. In the “spirit” of competition that it says is “heating up” in the graphics market — specifically NVIDIA’s […]
NVIDIA ‘Super’ GPU leaks hint at not-so-super speed boosts
[ad_1] The pricing would be the selling point. The RTX 2070 Super will reportedly start at $499 when it arrives on July 9th, or $100 less than the Founder’s Edition of the plain 2070 when it surfaced in 2018. The RTX 2060 Super would cost more than the plain 2060 at $399, but you might […]
