“Computer graphics will never be the same again,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said onstage during the Turing demonstration at the annual Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany.

Although Huang’s commentary sounds hyperbolic, he may well be right. As it stands now, the vast majority of computer graphics are rendered with a more traditional technique that uses “shaders” to handle different levels of light, color, and darkness. Huang compared different scenes in side-by-side comparisons on Monday between traditional shading and real-time ray-tracing via Turing, indicating a huge leap in photorealism for computer graphics.
