Although AMD can rival most of Nvidia's graphics cards in pure performance, it always lagged behind in ray tracing. Are things about to improve?
Although AMD makes some of the best graphics cards, there’s one thing it has always struggled with when compared to Nvidia : ray tracing . Even though RDNA 3 brought some improvements in that regard, Nvidia remains the king of ray tracing . However, a new leak about the upcoming RDNA 4 generation tells us that things might be about to change — and the PlayStation 5 Pro might already benefit.
Recommended Videos What’s new, then? Kepler_L2’s intel claims that RDNA 4 will bring major changes to RDNA’s ray tracing, including a double ray tracing intersect engine, ray tracing instance node transform, a 64-byte ray tracing node, tri-pair optimization, BVH footprint improvement, and ray tracing support for OBB and instance node intersection.
Kepler_L2 joins the long list of leakers who confirm that AMD won’t even beat its own RDNA 3 flagship with its next-gen cards. The Twitter user revealed that the best RDNA 4 GPU will be “at most in between the RX 7900 XT and the XTX.” And although the improvements to ray tracing are clear, Kepler_L2 didn’t make any definite statements as to whether AMD will now be as good as Nvidia at ray tracing.

Although tiny, peatland microorganisms have a big impact on climatePolyphenols are generally toxic to microorganisms. In peatlands, scientists thought microorganisms avoided this toxicity by degrading polyphenols using an oxygen-dependent enzyme, and thus that low-oxygen conditions inhibit microbes' carbon cycling.
