Great to see raytracing is becoming more accessible

  What is more accessible about a vendor with fully open drivers losing engineers to one with closed source implementations?
  
  Because open source drivers don’t help anyone who can’t get the hardware.
AMD had ray tracing experts?
- ray tracing were never a nvidia feature, it always existed, and it was supported in amd gpus since, well, forever, the same with nvidia, but only in data center gpus
- They forgot the quotes around expert.
