Wolfenstein Gets Ray Traced

Posted by Soulskill on from the ach-mein-framen dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After showcasing Quake Wars: Ray Traced a few years ago, Intel is now showing their latest graphics research project using Wolfenstein game content. The new and cool special effects are actually displayed on a laptop using a cloud-based gaming approach with servers that have an Intel Knights Ferry card (many-core) inside. Their blog post has a video and screenshots."

    My 486 ray-traced perfectly. I don't understand why we're using processing power to show glass reflections in ray-traced sniper scopes when all the old monitors showed the reflections of people approaching from behind already!

    Stupid matte LCD panels.
