AMD says its about to adopt a brand-new rendering approach when it comes to ray tracing, and specifically path tracing, in the latest games, thanks to a new dedicated hardware block in its next-gen AMD Radeon gaming GPU tech. Developed in collaboration with Sony, AMD says the new dedicated ray tracing hardware, called the Radiance Core, will push lighting performance to a whole new level in the latest games.Path tracing is one area where the latest AMD GPUs still significantly lag behind Nvidias new Blackwell chips, as demonstrated in our recent Doom The Dark Ages path tracing test. However, AMD is clearly looking to close this gap with its new Radiance Core, which looks to move a key area of the ray tracing pipeline to a dedicated hardware block.Read the full story on PCGamesN: AMD just announced a new ray tracing gaming GPU core, promises big speed boost
