@EndFlux i dont think that. i programs like 3ds max that is true. but in games there will be elements such as textures which probably will allways be loaded by gpu. also in the future there will be a cpu&gpu in 1 pc part

Ray tracing is the mathematical way to generate photo realistic renderings by tracing light beams, simulating the way they reflect, refract and get absorbed by surfaces. It has been around for a long time. In the beginning it took hours to render one photo realistic image. Now computer hardware got fast enough so that programmers start using ray tracing in realtime. That means no pre-rendered animations but live generated images with realistic material properties and reflections.

Can someone explain to me in simple English what realtime ray tracing is??

@fell0wbaby no they are only 6 cores with ht i belive however that the westmeres are going to go up to 8.

@Valsam75 The Xeon 7500, I believe, has 8 cores. Currently listed on Newegg for $3.9k USD.... good luck.

@Valsam75 i think the extreme editions are 8 cores.. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

16:9 wallpaper. Now.

Looks sleek. Although this won't even be practical for another 5-10 years.

@msqrt right...most motherboards don't have vga out anymore? rethink that man, its been 4 months since your comment and vga out with onboard graphics are still very common for motherboards

lol a game cost 50 euros or 60 euros ... wtf? and we need a computer to run this fucking games that seems 2000 euros more for a new pc ... wtf??
@johnykgr CPU calculates the rays, you still need a GPU to convert it to an image on your screen :) Games will probably rely more on your CPU in the future though..

@EndFlux Basically no computer until the late 90s had a dedicated graphics card, they all rendered and displayed the screen with CPU only :) It'd still work - most motherboards don't have a VGA out anymore, though :D
