This is how graphics cards have evolved since the turn of the millennium

In the videos below, you can see what technical advances NVIDIA and AMD have produced since the turn of the millennium. You can observe this quite precisely through a lot of technological demonstrations, which are uniformly characterized by the fact that the opportunities available in a given period have been exploited to the greatest extent. Pushing the boundaries is essentially a kind of guide for the future, as the striking implementations in the videos usually preceded their age. This is due to the fact that in this case the given manufacturer only performed the optimization for its own graphics card, squeezing it to the extremes.

Needless to say, you can trace a number of very spectacular moments, some of which can be called good even in today’s conditions. Let the greens come first.

Of course, both AMD and ATI were fair, and Ruby stole himself into the hearts of fans for a long time. At times, there were also moments when programmers stretched further than until the blanket reached; e.g. in one demonstration of the Radeon HD 4800, probably no real-time image processing was demonstrated, despite the claim to the contrary. 

In recent years, we have been short of presentations like this, of course, in the absence of meaningful novelties, it is not easy to flash dazzling things. In our opinion, the big bang of the coming years will be ray tracing - we have already reported this in some previous news.
