NVIDIA RTX Technology

Powering a New Generation of Innovation

NVIDIA RTX^™ technology is one of NVIDIA’s most important advances in computer graphics, ushering in a new generation of applications that simulate the physical world at unprecedented speeds. Enhanced with the latest enhancements in AI, ray tracing, and simulation, RTX technology enables incredible 3D designs, photorealistic simulations, and stunning visual effects—faster than ever.

Core Technologies

Ray Tracing

RTX technology realizes the dream of real-time cinematic-quality rendering through optimized ray-tracing APIs such as NVIDIA OptiX^™, Microsoft DXR, and Vulkan. The ability to render photorealistic objects and environments in real time with perfectly accurate shadows, reflections, and refractions now makes it possible for artists and designers to create amazing content faster than ever before.

Artificial Intelligence

NVIDIA RTX technology brings the power of AI to visual computing, enabling developers to create AI-augmented applications that bring unprecedented workflow acceleration to end users. This dramatically accelerates creativity for artists and designers by freeing up time and resources through intelligent manipulation of images, automation of repetitive tasks, and optimization of compute-intensive processes.

Rasterization

RTX technology features advances in programmable shading such as variable-rate shading, texture-space shading, and multi-view rendering. These enable the creation of richer visuals with more fluid interactivity with large models and scenes, and improved VR experiences.

Simulation

Lifelike visuals are the result of not only how something looks, but also of how it behaves. With the power of CUDA^® cores and APIs such as NVIDIA PhysX^®, Flow, FleX, and CUDA, RTX technology enables accurate modelling of the behavior of real-world objects in everything from games to virtual environments and special effects.
