The DXR standards that Microsoft is adding to D12 combine some elements of raytracing with classic rasterization, but it's nothing that can produce images like the video in the OP. We probably are at least 20 years away from having those types of graphics rendered in real-time in gaming. The video in the OP could be produced in DX10 or DX11 just as well as in DX12, with or without DXR. Adding ray-tracing constructs to the pipeline is certainly nice, but this type of thing has been possible for a long time. The bottleneck is not the API, it's the hardware. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. <cite>scar the 1 posted [p:898292303] in Hyper-real...
