AMD aims to catch up in terms of ray tracing with its Radeon RX 8000 cards. Faced with the supremacy of Nvidia and its RTX 40XX, the company intends to revolutionize its approach thanks to the RDNA 4 architecture. This innovation could change the gives in the fierce fight between these two titans of the graphics card market.
AMD is recognized for its performance in rasterization, a technique that converts vector images into pixels. This skill has often allowed him to compete with, or even to surpass, Nvidia. However, the company struggled with the ray tracing – or path tracing -, a method which simulates complex lighting effects for a realistic rendering in video games.
To address this weakness, AMD’s next generation of graphics cards will specifically focus on improving ray tracing. The objective is at least to‘match the abilities recent models from Nvidia, such as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. If it succeeds, the company could well find a place in this essential segment of the graphics card market.
Radeon RX 8000 could adopt RDN4 architecture to compete with Nvidia
According to leaksAMD plans to adopt RDNA 4, its new architecture for graphics cards. This update marks an important evolution in their strategy. Its goal is to specifically improve ray tracing. To do this, the company could integrate dedicated hardware units, similar to RT Cores used by Nvidia.
These units are designed to specifically accelerate ray tracing calculations. They are intended to improve overall performance and real-time response of lighting and shadow effects in games. This improvement not only promises a more immersive visual experience but also better efficiency during extended gaming sessions. The introduction of this technology into cards Radeon RX 8000 could not only boost their performance but also make them more energy efficient.
With the introduction of the Radeon RX 8000, AMD has the opportunity to effectively compete with Nvidia in the field of ray tracing. By focusing on specific technical improvementsthe company could catch up in terms of graphics performance. But there is work and we will have to wait until the end of the year to be able to assess whether these rumors will really come to fruition.
