<p class="MsoNormal">I, personally, wouldn't be in such a rush to implement RTX support. The graphics card can only handle 1 ray-tracing feature at acceptable framerates. We are using OSG for terrain generation and I see rendering triangles fast enough along
with managing high res textures as still being a #1 priority for us. Graphics hardware just isn't fast enough to render relatively dense meshes even with the best cards. I sincerely hope that RTX doesn't cause a fork in the road and reduce the need to improve
the overall bandwidth of the graphics pipeline.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For general purpose stuff, I think normal rasterization is more practical, but in your industry I should think you can also imagine simulation situations where direct computation of ray transport of radiative energy among surfaces of different
reflective properties is interesting.<o:p></o:p></p>
