[osg-users] Nvidia RTX

[Terry Welsh]

My research tells me that a) hybrid rendering like RTX is the way to
go for the next few years if you want real-time performance, and b)
Vulkan will have ray-tracing extensions but OpenGL will have none.

So once I get time I'd like to dig into VSG or some game engine with
Vulkan support. I don't know of any other options besides rolling your
own, and I'm not so anxious to do that with Vulkan. Would love to hear
other opinions on this.
