We’ll look at it first from a fan POV, and then the business side of things. Yes local TV ratings are soaring. Yes, a large segment of the baseball-viewing population will love the fact that either the Yankees or Red Sox (or both!) will miss the postseason if the 77-48 Rays keep winning. Fodder for the [...]

Here's a Siggraph 2008 demo of Rome Reborn model 1.1 - a virtual version of ancient Rome. The demo used the iRT ray tracer for the Cell processor and ran in real-time on IBM QS21 Cell/B.E. blades. Rome Reborn showcases new approaches for exhibiting historical findings in museums, classrooms, and on the Internet. Approximately 7,000 buildings recapture Rome at the peak of its glory in 320 AD, at the...

CustomPC had an interview with Daniel Pohl, Intel's ray tracing expert. Here's a snip: CPC: Nvidia's chief scientist David Kirk says that ray tracing will be another tool in the developer's toolbox, rather than taking over completely from rasterisation. Do you agree, or do you think that ray tracing will end up taking over in games in the long term? Daniel: Looking ahead five to ten years from now,...

Ray-tracing is one of the big topics gamers and graphics enthusiasts should pay special attention to these days. AMD already demonstrated Transformers and Ruby Ray-traced demos using pre-rendered and real-time rendered voxels, Intel is busy working on its own ray-tracer, and now we are seeing much more obvious ray-tracing material from Nvidia as well.

NVIDIA is demonstrating its latest efforts in interactive ray tracing at SIGGRAPH 2008, using four next-generation Quadro GPUs in an NVIDIA Quadro Plex 2100 D4 Visual Computing System to show linear scaling during rendering of a complex, two-million polygon, anti-aliased automotive styling application. The images here are taken from the demo, which managed 30fps 1920 x 1080 High Definition video for...

We don't know where Nvidia's can of whoop-ass went but at Siggraph the Green Goblin of Santa Clara finally did something that at least looks like a swing directed towards Intel. The fabless graphics company demonstrated real-time GPU ray-tracing running off four of its multi-GPU Quadro Plex 2100 D4 Visual Computing Systems. The demo, which featured a green-themed Bugatti Veyron, ran at a resolution...
