Traditionally, the most successful mobile games have long been built with specific player habits in mind: quick gameplay sessions you can snack on on the go, easy and quick to download, and able run ...

According to Nvidia's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, streaming services like GeForce Now are the best way to deliver AAA game experiences to mobile players. Ray tracing mobile chips, he claims, are a less ...

Smartphone ray tracing is here. Well, sort of. We don’t have any actual mobile games with ray tracing support yet; we’re still waiting patiently. But we do have Android phones with hardware ray ...

The Google Pixel 8 series has arrived, and we recently discovered that the phones lacked hardware-accelerated ray-tracing. This discovery came after our earlier leak pointed to ray-tracing support.

UL Solutions, the creators behind 3DMark, have launched a new 3DMark ray tracing benchmark called Solar Bay that is designed to stress test and benchmark GPUs. This new benchmark is different from ...

Unless you're a physicist, you probably don't pay too much mind to the function of light in your daily life. Light is light, right? When there is light, we see, and when there isn't, we don't. But ...
