NVIDIA RTXTM Technology NVIDIA RTX supports the Microsoft DirectX Raytracing (DXR) API on NVIDIA Volta and Turing GPUs. In order to get started with developing DirectX Raytracing applications accelerated by RTX, you’ll need the following: • NVIDIA Volta or Turing GPU • Windows 10 RS4 1. Product is based on a published Khronos Specification and has been submitted to, and expected to pass, the Khronos Conformance Process. Current conformance status can be found at www.khronos.org/conformance. Release 410 Graphics Drivers for Windows, Version 411.63 RN-08399-411.63_v01 | 4 Chapter 2 : RELEASE 410 DRIVER CHANGES • Microsoft’s DXR developer package, consisting of DXR-enabled D3D runtimes, HLSL compiler, and headers Vulkan 1.1 • This driver release provides full support for the new Vulkan 1.1 API and passes the Vulkan Conformance Test Suite (CTS) version 1.1.1.2. • Includes interoperability with CUDA 10.0. • New extensions for Turing GPUs: − VK_NVX_raytracing (also available for Pascal GPUs with 8GB or more video memory, and Volta GPUs) − VK_NV_compute_shader_derivatives − VK_NV_corner_sampled_image − VK_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric − VK_NV_mesh_shader − VK_NV_representative_fragment_test − VK_NV_scissor_exclusive − VK_NV_shader_image_footprint − VK_NV_shading_rate_image See https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/ for the full specification. Vulkan HDR for Windows This driver release supports the Vulkan VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace and VK_EXT_hdr_metadata extensions allowing applications to output HDR content to HDR displays via the Vulkan APIs. OpenGL extensions for Turing GPUs • GL_NV_compute_shader_derivatives • GL_NV_fragment_shader_barycentric • GL_NV_mesh_shader • GL_NV_representative_fragment_test • GL_NV_scissor_exclusive • GL_NV_shading_rate_image • GL_NV_shader_texture_footprint See https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/index_gl.php for the full specification. NVIDIA Control Panel System Info shows Boost Clock values (instead of Base Clock) for Turing and later GPUs.
