For real-time plugins (game engines, architectural walkthroughs), a dedicated RTX GPU is non-negotiable due to the dedicated RT cores that accelerate bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) traversal. Crucially: Before purchasing a plugin, verify if it supports (using CUDA or OpenCL when RT cores are absent) and multi-GPU scaling (how efficiently it utilizes two or four GPUs).
Not all ray traced plugins are created equal. When selecting a plugin, scrutinize the following technical specifications: ray traced 3d plugin
