During the account presentation, Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, is proud to have caused RayTracing to be standardized.
The launch of NVIDIA Turing graphics cards implements the new Tensor Core and RT Core. These cores are specifically designed for DLSS and Ray Tracing, respectively. The new Turing architecture graphics cards have been particularly criticized for this very reason. It has been repeatedly argued that these cards are pointless because hardly any games support these technologies. However, Jen-Hsun Huang is boasting about Ray Tracing, claiming that thanks to them, this technology has become a standard.
NVIDIA claims to lead the implementation and standardization of Raytracing
It should be recognized that at least in the gaming segment they are quite right. We see how little by little games that add RayTracing are appearing. What's more, AMD initially said that it would not support RayTracing until it was compatible with low-end graphics. Now they are taking it seriously and Navi may implement a software version of RayTracing.
Industry adoption is spreading and even the PlayStation 5 could implement RayTracing. And of course, it was during the presentation of accounts where Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, has expressed his chest for the adoption of the RayTracing implementation.
“Our strategy with RTX was to take the lead and bring RayTracing to the world. And at this point, I think it's pretty safe to say that the leadership position we've taken has evolved into a move that has made RayTracing a standard in video games.
Almost all platforms will have to have RayTracing and some of them have already announced it and the partnerships we have developed are fantastic. Microsoft DXR supports RayTracing Unity supports RayTracing, Epic supports RayTracing with Unreal Engine 4, leading publishers such as Electronic Arts have adopted RTX and supported this technology. Even the movie studios, Pixar has announced that they are using RTX and that they will use it for their movies. "
