NVIDIA Teases Massive Path Tracing Performance Leap

At GDC 2026, NVIDIA unveiled a path-tracing roadmap and new rendering features, saying Moore's Law is dead and promising massive AI-driven gains. The company claims a 10,000x improvement over Pascal today and targets a 1,000,000x leap with future Rubin GPUs (2027–2028), while introducing ReSTIR, opacity micromaps, RTX Mega Geometry and DLSS 4.5 MFG 6X for real-time realism.
Scoring Rationale
Official NVIDIA roadmap and major DLSS/RT advances drive impact; limitation is roadmap-level claims lacking full independent benchmarks.
