Despite increasing competition from Intel and AMD, Nvidia’s RTX lineup remains the best hardware for ray tracing and path tracing in games. Ever since Turing, RTX 20 series, the company has made significant strides — mostly leveraging AI and neural rendering — to increase graphical fidelity without compromising performance. Now, at GDC 2026, it’s claiming that the future holds an even more impressive milestone.
That’s largely due to a focus on hardware-accelerated neural rendering enabled by dedicated RT and Tensor cores that handle machine learning inside Nvidia GPUs. Features like DLSS are entirely reliant on AI; the ability to piece together frame data more accurately in both upscaling and frame-gen situations is only possible due to models trained on Nvidia’s supercomputers.
