Cool, i've been waiting for real time ray tracing for like 10+ years, since John Carmack was talking about ray tracing to a sparse voxel octree. He said back then that if the transistor count of gpus of that time were used for specialised ray tracing cores, real time would be already possible. But where are the games?

@Pahanilmanlintu: they mentioned some games with RT support, like the new Battlefield, Tomb Raider, Metro.
But keep in mind that RT will be used for some effects that are currently faked with screen space effects (reflections, ambient occlusion, ...), not for the complete rendering.

Well, that's assuming AMD haven't been chasing the wind as well... Regardless, they'll get my money since their drivers are FOSS anyhow.

They'll have linux support from day 1, but what's the best way to go about using that support? (I'm thinking especially of ubuntu since that's what I use.) It tends to take a long time for nvidia drivers to get to ubuntu. And ppas with the most recent drivers aren't maintained by nvidia (and tend to break upgrades to newer releases)...

Though , Graphics Ppa is usually have a slight delay which is mostly one week. So you don't have to worry about that.
