Raytracing won't render your old GPU obsolete, it could have a second life as an AI co-processor

With the announcement of AI and real-time raytracing in games, on next-gen Nvidia Volta graphics cards, you would be forgiven for thinking your current-gen GPU could soon be obsolete. But we're about to see a future where multi-GPU gaming PCs are actually desirable again. Forget Nvidia’s SLI and AMD’s CrossFire, though, this is all about DirectX, machine learning, and raytracing… and using a second GPU as an AI co-processor.

With great graphics cards you need great screens, so check out our pick of the best gaming monitors around today.

All the talk coming out of the Game Developer Conference, from a tech point of view at least, has surrounded the growth of artificial intelligence, how the power of GPU can be utilised to accelerate machine learning for gaming, and how the same technology is now able to make real-time raytracin
