Analysis of the Core Technology of NVIDIA RTX Graphics Cards
Ray Tracing Technology
Ray tracing is a technique that simulates the trajectory of light rays to achieve a realistic rendering of graphics. NVIDIA’s RTX technology takes the ray tracing process and greatly optimizes it with hardware acceleration, relying on several core components: Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH), ray-triangle intersection detection, and De-Noising. The use of ray tracing technology depends on the staggered interaction of light on game screens, the construction of drawings and models in the fields of architectural design, and the creation of special effects.
DLSS (Deep Learning Oversampling) Technology
DLSS is an image rendering technology developed by NVIDIA for RTX graphics cards. By reducing the amount of work required to render low-resolution images and using deep learning to intelligently zoom in on those images, DLSS provides players with a gaming experience that is both high-performance and high-quality. At the same time, DLSS technology is expected to play an even bigger role in the future, bringing visual enhancements to more areas.
CUDA Core with Parallel Computing
CUDA cores are NVIDIA’s basic processing units designed for parallel tasks. These cores are capable of efficiently performing floating-point and integer operations. CUDA cores use the Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture, which means that one CUDA core can execute one instruction, but this instruction can act on multiple data units, so it is particularly suitable for handling massively parallel computing tasks.
From the perspective of user experience, RTX graphics cards are generally highly evaluated. Gamers say that ray tracing gives them a premium visual experience. Professional users have also mentioned that RTX graphics cards perform well in video processing and graphic design, which greatly improves work efficiency.
