  2. Screen space ambient occlusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_space_ambient_occlusion

    Screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO) is a computer graphics technique for efficiently approximating the ambient occlusion effect in real time. It was developed by Vladimir Kajalin while working at Crytek and was used for the first time in 2007 by the video game Crysis, also developed by Crytek.

  3. Graphics processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit

    Components of a GPU. A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit initially designed for digital image processing and to accelerate computer graphics, being present either as a discrete video card or embedded on motherboards, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.

  4. PhysX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhysX

    A BFG Physx card. PhysX is an open-source [1] realtime physics engine middleware SDK developed by Nvidia as part of the Nvidia GameWorks software suite.. Initially, video games supporting PhysX were meant to be accelerated by PhysX PPU (expansion cards designed by Ageia).

  5. Mantle (API) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_(API)

    The draw call improvements of Mantle help alleviate cases where the CPU is the bottleneck. The design goals of Mantle are to allow games and applications to utilize the CPUs and GPUs more efficiently, eliminate CPU bottlenecks by reducing API validation overhead and allowing more effective scaling on multiple CPU cores, provide faster draw routines, and allow greater control over the graphics ...

  6. List of rendering APIs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rendering_APIs

    Rendering APIs typically provide just enough functionality to abstract a graphics accelerator, focussing on rendering primitives, state management, command lists/command buffers; and as such differ from fully fledged 3D graphics libraries, 3D engines (which handle scene graphs, lights, animation, materials etc.), and GUI frameworks; Some provide fallback software rasterisers, which were ...

  7. List of Roblox games - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roblox_games

    Allyson Cochran, writing for The Gamer, applauded the game's "astonishingly impressive graphics", further elaborating that it would "leave you questioning if you've stumbled upon a Roblox game at all". [103] Logan Gilchrist of Dot Esports called the game "interesting because it provides more story than the average Roblox horror game". [104]

  8. General-purpose computing on graphics processing units

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing...

    General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU, or less often GPGP) is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU), which typically handles computation only for computer graphics, to perform computation in applications traditionally handled by the central processing unit (CPU).
