New Quadros which for first time in years seem to bring something new to the table with RTX series now heavily invested into Raytracing

Chaos Group Project Lavina with a Quadro RTX 6000 ($6300) real time:

Really excited about the gaming variants which are coming soon too.

That tech demo from chaos is pig ugly though!

Purpose built ray tracing cores in a consumer scale device is a dream for rendering.

Yes, it is ugly, but it was RT with millions of polys.

Impressive numbers but..well, pig ugly is well understated ..

Still has quite a bit of rustling - though technically it is impressive. I wouldn't expect less of future tech.

There are two points. First, it's 100 million triangles of unique geometry (300 billion instanced) - this will be a bit difficult to push through a game engine. Second, there is no precalculation, light map baking, UV unwrapping, material conversion or any other time consuming asset preparation - the scene is directly exported from 3ds Max and dropped into the DXR viewer.

From comments seem 2 RTX

Impressive tech, although still a bit expensive....

But looking forward to real time raytrace rendering in game engines

Is there some technical information out there on the "raytracing cores", like what other capabilities they might have for more general tasks?

This is a step forward but the days seem finally over where technological advancement over the years came without increasing costs. But not even sure if the companies are to blame.

No idea on the other capabilities, but the reviews are rolling out now on the web.
We'll have to wait and see what is going on after the digital dust settles I guess...

Very nice!

Not having to bake out lighting will be a massive time saver, especially for larger archviz projects.
Very curious to see where this will be going in the next few years, when the technology becomes affordable enough.
