GPU Ray Tracing (Pre-release)

Learn about the new graphics option that is available as a pre-release version.

Inventor 2023 introduces a new display option that takes advantage of support for hardware ray tracing in recent graphics cards (GPUs). This feature is called GPU Ray Tracing. It is in a pre-release state in Inventor 2023 and will be improved in future updates. Current limitations are described in the GPU Ray Tracing (Pre-release) Details.

In earlier releases of Inventor, selecting the "Ray Tracing" display option in a viewport would use the Autodesk Raytracer (ART) which provides interactive results using only the CPU. Now you have the choice, use either CPU or GPU Ray Tracing, with the potential for higher performance and quality using your GPU.
