"The demonstration is powered by NVIDIA’s RTX technology for Volta GPUs, available via Microsoft’s DirectX Ray Tracing API (DXR). An iPad running ARKit is used as a virtual camera to draw focus to fine details in up-close views." While this demonstration exhibits the current ability for various real-time rendering techniques, how much relative improvement is shown when compared to the rendering capabilities of previous years?
