What Has AI Done for Graphics?
AI brought higher resolution and frame rate with beautiful images.
Can GPU AI-enhanced Games Be Trusted?
AI and scaling techniques have been used in games to get computationally and resolution-dependent ray-tracing processing sped up to amazing frame rates at ultra-high resolution, but it comes at the cost of fidelity — most of the images are not originals. Will the creators complain, maybe sue?
Pixels in the Metaverse
Jon Peddie Research discusses the evolution of the metaverse, sharing that computer graphics professionals will know it when they see it.
Remember Stereo 3D on the PC? Have You Ever Wondered What Happened to It?
Stereoscopic 3D technology progressed from early innovations to widespread use in gaming, leading to the rise of VR.
CAD — The Other CG Application
While considered mundane, CAD forms the foundation for CG, ensuring photorealistic accuracy in images through its 70-year-old technology.
2022 Was the Rise of GPU Suppliers
What can we expect from the architects, engineers, programmers, and testers in 2023?
GPUs Are Everywhere—Why Can’t We Get Any?
Jon Peddie Research posits the increasing cost of new GPUs against current demand for gaming and mining add-in boards.
Do We Have Enough Shaders?
Although CG advancements continue, challenges in rendering complexity and human-like realism persist. Blinn’s Law implies rendering improvements will always demand more computing power, suggesting ongoing development.
