Epic Games may get stick for their gaming store. However, we can’t knock their game engine. It’s been a staple of the gaming development community for many years now. Now, updated to version 4.23, ...

Unless you're a physicist, you probably don't pay too much mind to the function of light in your daily life. Light is light, right? When there is light, we see, and when there isn't, we don't. But ...

I am a massive fan of destruction physics in games, riding the wave from the 90s of Red Faction (how good were those destruction physics for the 90s) through to DICE and multiple Battlefield games ...

In modern gaming, lighting is king and there’s never been a more wondrous thing than ray tracing. Ray tracing is an old, but now widely, available technology that realistically renders light and ...

Ray tracing is a lighting technique that brings an extra level of realism to games. It emulates the way light reflects and refracts in the real world, providing a more believable environment than what ...

NVIDIA has demonstrated its new ray tracing technology in conjunction with real-time physics enabling objects to be simulated to act just like they would in the real world thanks to a collaboration ...

Real-time ray tracing is finally starting to become commonplace in high-end PC games and even some PS5 and Xbox Series X games. Most of them come with a performance hit, letting the player choose ...

Ray tracing and path tracing sound similar — and technically, they are. Both methods simulate how light travels in a 3D environment, but the way they work and the results they produce are completely ...

Although benchmarks are never perfect, they’re a useful tool for judging comparative performance. Basemark has just such a tool in its new In Vitro GPU test suite and kindly provided a copy to Android ...

In simple words, ray tracing means calculating how light would fall on objects, how it looks after the light is reflected from that object, and the effect of light that falls on some other object.

Most PC gamers know that ray tracing is a very performance-intensive feature, and depending on the improvement to visual quality, it may or may not be worth using. In an extensive Hardware Unboxed ...
