Imagination Technologies has added ray-tracing to its PowerVR Series6XT Rogue architecture, allowing real time modelling of dynamic lights and shadows on mobile devices, said the firm. The first of the cores, called the Wizard family, is the GR5600 “designed to bring real-time, interactive ray traced graphics to a range of consumer and mobile platforms, as well as gaming consoles and mainstream gaming PCs, workstations and servers,” said Imagination.
“It required a breakthrough in the algorithms used within ray tracing, as well as the addition of fixed function blocks in the GPU to allow ray tracing operations to be performed within the power consumption and bandwidth budgets available in consumer devices.”
