> And you don't need special hardware for ray tracing,You are correct, however, you generally need special hardware for realtime ray tracing. I assume by "Minecraft RTX" you mean Minecraft with the SEUS shader. I hate to dissapoint you, but that's not actually ray-traced. That's psuedo-path traced, I say "psuedo" because the dynamic lighting still needs context provided with shaders to properly calculate different lighting scenarios, whereas a true realtime ray tracer only required a light source and defined materials. Its impressive, but its not ray tracing
>Ray tracing has existed for decades.Correct, realtime ray tracing, however, is relatively new. Before ray tracing was acheived on an order of seconds per frame rather than frames per second.
> That is the definition of ray tracing.Alright I'm being baited right now
