Speaking with PCWorld earlier this month, Nvidia’s Senior VP of Content and Technology, Tony Tamasi, confirmed that in order to take advantage of ray-tracing, we need to wait for Microsoft to roll out its DirectX Raytracing API, which is currently set to launch in October. The final public build should be packaged in as part of the upcoming Windows 10 October feature update. (probably another reason Microsoft will push users/gamers to Windows 10)

    I won't hold my breath hoping for an easy and smooth rollout and adoption. Microsoft tends to over-promise, over-complicate, and put in place "gotcha" terms forcing people to accept something that they don't want in order to get something else that they do want.

    Indeed.  And that seems to be the business model for many companies these days...

    Microsoft is done with the API, they just need to figure out how to inject their ransomeware into it... I read it on the internet.

    Seems like the Raytracing is going to be a major part of this generation of cards. I really can't wait.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    DXR is a render pipeline. Just like DX7, DX8, DX9, etc are their own render pipelines. DirectX isn't some generic everything-runs-on-DX12 graphic setup. Every single version of DirectX is it's own thing.
