When asked when we will hear the details about ray tracing and scaling, Mr. Azor replied: “We will cover these moments from now until the date of the release of graphics cards. Please, please be patient. Thank you for your support and interest. ” Recall: the launch of new AMD video cards is scheduled for the 18th, so we should hear new information in the next 2 weeks.

AMD’s rDNA 2 architecture is at the core of the next-generation PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S and X gaming consoles (though Microsoft says that only its consoles can offer all the benefits of RDNA 2), which will hit the market this month. Both systems have support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which is also a feature of the recently introduced Radeon RX 6000 desktop graphics cards.

However, during the announcement, AMD was in no hurry to share details about the implementation of long-awaited technologies: ray tracing and scaling through machine learning technologies, which are key features of the GeForce RTX series. NVIDIA RTX and DLSS require developer support – since the launch of Turing two years ago, the number of compatible games has grown significantly, but there are still too few of them.
