As it was promised earlier, in the conference SIGGRAPH 2008 , NVIDIA company demonstrated the images construction using the rays tracing method in real time.
This demonstration can be partly considered as answer to Intel initiatives , that moves its promising larrabee product . However, NVIDIA showed that their arecompletely able to manage this task using CUDA technology .
Note this demonstration used the inaccessible to usual users system quadro plex 2100 D4, uniting four not announced video card Quadro FX new generation.
However, this system could count a fairly complicated demo in the resolution 1920x1080 with the use of AA with the speed, which reaches 30 Frame per second. The system quadro plex 2100 D4 will be announced in the following month. Its price will be approximately $11000.
Similar test was presented by Intel company , which demonstrated the work of popular game enemy territory: Quake wars on the four core system with (tigerton) , working at 2.93 GHz frequency . In this case this system was able to reach the speed of 29 frames per second with 1280x720 resolution .
