The Microsoft DXR API was designed years ago, before the level of geometric complexity that can be found in modern games. In DXR, geometry is represented using a Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH), which can become expensive to rebuild in dynamic scenes with dense geometry and countless complex animated objects. Fully ray tracing such geometry may require frequent BVH updates, placing significant strains on performance. As a result, developers often rely on lower-quality proxy meshes for ray-traced effects. These simplified representations contain only a fraction of the original detail, leading t
Testing Nvidia's RTX Mega Geometry tech — VRAM-reducing tech a leap forward for path-traced rendering… In November of that year, Battlefield V became the first title to support real-time ray tracing using the Microsoft DirectX Raytracing API DXR . The game only supported one ray-traced effect – ray-traced reflections. …
… Blender DLSS Ray Reconstruction - NVIDIA Studio Computex 2026 - YouTube Watch On The benefits of Ray Reconstruction will soon move beyond games, too. …
… Image 1 of 4 The Radeon RX 9070 XT may not be as good as the Nvidia competition in pure ray tracing, but for rasterization and pure frame throughput, it's there. …
… GPUs Big AI and ray tracing improvements, but questions about retail supply remain. …
… Upgrading old games with fully ray-traced lighting, along with sharper textures, skyrockets their sizes. …
… The studio says the PC version of the graphics engine offers better ray-tracing and faster-performing ray-traced reflections all likely due to Ray Reconstruction features of both Nvidia and AMD cards , as well as higher-quality ambient occlusion, shadows, and volumetric effects. …
… The story changes when it comes to ray tracing; AMD's offering is definitely better than its previous-gen architecture, but it still falls behind the Green Team, with the 9070 slotting right below the 4070 Super for ray traced workloads. …
… In recent titles, reliance on technologies like upscaling and ray tracing severely hurts the king of a bygone raster-only era. DLSS and ray tracing were both mocked at the time they debuted, but have become integral parts of the industry now. …
