It has taken many months of work and effort by the team Khronos, but in the end, the Vulkan API will be able to work in tandem with NTVIA & # 39; s RT Cores units in most games that Huang's units can now operate on.
In addition, these issues are just in time, because AMD and the new generation will have enough time to allow games to use these new technologies and RDNA structures 2 Improve from zero per minute with this new version of API.
Vulkan will be supported by AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and Imagination Technologies
It is very important for the technology at the moment, such as effective hardware and the support it will have for large companies.
As has happened more than once with the Khronos team, the main players in this event will provide the best support available in this new version of the API, because Ray Tracing extensions that will use the workload Drawings must be used by the three major companies that build GPUs: Intel, AMD and NVIDIA.
Not surprisingly, they are ambitious, since the good design of their graphics graphics cards will directly affect the user gaming experience.
Is the end of the NVIDIA domain coming?
So far, NVIDIA has been selling its technology to its graphics cards for what it has been, unlike RTX GPUs. Login Vulkan, Microsoft DXR and in particular the arrival of AMD and later Intel in the real-time tracking market is about to decide on the market, especially in light of the storm that the PC world will suffer with the advent of new consoles, which will have RT support.
NVIDIA's response should come in three stages: the low number of its GPUs, the expansion of its technology across its range and, in turn, the apparent increase in user performance.
The competition will feature them in three different sides at different times, Ray Tracing will not be a single claim and continuing to retain the crown of performance may not be enough. As if that's not enough, its API OptiX will be given less work and will eventually lose its momentum, because it all points to a DXR vs Vulkan-focused struggle, where Microsoft has the advantage.
Will better performance be enough to maintain a company's status and income? Or Ray Following the instigator of the deepest battle between the Big Three?
