Yep, you can use ray queries from any shader stage in DX12. Docs here: https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectX-Specs/blob/master/d3d/Raytracing.md#inline-raytracing

I’ve worked on many FSR (2+3) integrations at this point, and properly integrating it (or XeSS or DLSS for that matter) takes a bit longer than that. Initial integration to get up and running can be quick, depending on engine architecture, but the polish to get to shipping quality can be time...

Just a quick one to say that the automatic TLS certificate replacement thingy failed, resulting in unavailability of anything on *.beyond3d.com after the certificate expired at 00:28:32 UTC. @Malo, @iroboto and @BRiT figured out what was wrong and pinged me to let me know, and we were back...

The Discord is super barebones and wasn’t intended to grow. Fostering a good server is a set of time commitments and problems all of its own, so we’ll see how it goes and what kind of discussion shows up there. Happy to adapt, but it can’t replace the forums. Discoverability is bad, search...

I don't think it's a good idea to force disclosure of what amounts to private information on anyone. I share mine because it's the right thing for me to do, but it might not be for anyone else (and might well prohibit them from taking part, especially in this day and age). Doing so will always...

Good idea, I’ll have a think about how.

Some handy links: new A+P guidelines updated overall guidelines / rules Discord server

Hello again, friends of graphics, games, semiconductors and the merry world of high technology. A few days ago we took the decision to make the forums read only, effectively closing them, and I wanted to explain why we did that, why we've decided to reopen give it another go, and hopefully...

I think I've fixed it, at least to the point XenForo's email tester works now, but the real test is whether activity triggers and sends emails properly. I'll keep an eye on it.

I'll look into it this weekend.

Not to get my trumpet out, but I picked the name (I was product manager for it at the time).

On which threads ought to exist and whether we need to be completely granular, I think the guideline there is simple: we'll know when it's necessary. If there's not that much difference in products in a family and separate threads aren't necessary, let's not fire them up. But if feels like they...

Here's the kind of thread list I'd like to see today in my idealised view of what A+P could be, with my notes about what I'd like to read in them. Note that it's not exhaustive by any means, it's just meant to be illustrative: Nvidia GeForce RTX 40-series review roundup - all 40-series...

@BRiT has put forward the idea of completely split Architecture and Product sub forums, under the Graphics Forums section, to make it clearer what the purpose of each kind of thread is, and allow for more effective moderation in the case where we might want to have a full thread type ban on one...
