A great leap in graphics

Article Abstract:

The advances in graphics processing units (GPUs), the microchips at the heart of computer video cards that transform 3-D scenes into 2-D frames at speeds faster than a trigger twitch has lifted interactive software industries. The change from rasterization method that GPUs use to a more scientific approach known as ray tracing could render hundreds of frames of a complex and rapidly changing scene in less time than conventional ray-tracing software takes to draw a single frame.
