Cool.
So, anyway...
(For the record, tensor cores don't just accelerate calculations for raytracing, as is obvious from the entire AI bubble built on the technology, and I have no idea what GPU "performance boost" you'd want from additional raster graphics when you have RT-less stuff running at stupid framerates on current hardware and being consistently CPU-limited, but the Internet gets the memetic obsessions it gets. I suppose online nerds will pay for a 1080p 1000Hz monitor with no self-awareness as long as the two popular Youtube tech channels keep repeating the same memes and testing the same four games forever)
You seem like a great guy to talk to.
Fyi, tensor cores and RT cores are not the same thing. But I suppose nerds online will just parrot whatever marketing bs the manufacturer says.
I'm trying to be generic here. For these purposes I don't particularly care about manufacturer customizations beyond "does it tensor math good and/or talk to DXR/Vulkan raytracing. I guess that accidentally includes actually useless CPU-baked NPUs, but I'll accept that as being potentially part of it if someone actually used them for something.
For the record, even if I was wrong about or unaware of your kinda pedantic distinction, it'd still be irrelevant to the point.
Lmao you're sone fragile baby ๐ Stop caring about unimportant stuff.
