I know this is OT but godspeed and good luck to you all.

Not all implementations are the same :)

I wouldn't call a 16 entry stack a short stack. There a few papers out there showing you can get great perf with fewer than 7-8 entries...

You don't go very far with pure brute force RT as the computational and bandwidth costs would be insanely high :)

No they don't. Whether upscaling is used or not the tensor cores also predict how to best fuse together the output of the optical flow...

I am not sure I follow you here, but intersecting a triangle or an AABB should not be any worse, latency wise, than issuing a texture...

Isn't this pretty much what RDNA2 does? i.e. callable AABB and triangle intersection HW tests from shader.

Their thumbnail for that video: No fail there, I guess. Also, in the conclusion section it's stated FSR 1.0 is at times competitive...

I feel like death looking at that thumbnail. Imagine being a PHD computer scientist putting your day's work into an implementation for...

Imagination wasn't the first company designing HW ray tracing products: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray-tracing_hardware AFAIK...

Denoising for Monte Carlo rendering is used throughout the CG fx industry. Its job is to reduce low to medium levels of noise, not to...

Criticism (even when it is somewhat excessive..) should be welcome. It keeps companies and individuals honest, and if a product is good...

Great video. My goodness, I can barely imagine how long that took to create in its totality. I appreciate the time and effort put into...

In only 6 years and 3 generations, Nvidia has improved rendering performance by more than 9 times...

Last year, I wrote a simple ray tracing GPU on FPGA for learning Verilog but didn't have time to write documents until last month. Last...
