At a time when computer technology market was in early development stage, no one was able to predict how big leap can be made through them. Nobody could also imagine how fast a single user will have access to massive computing power, that will be able to use at his own purposes.
But with the growth of computing power, there are operations that need more and more power. One such process is the rendering of graphics. Today it is constantly evolving and therefore - more and more power-hungry, thus creates the images that are more photorealistic than before.
Against the demands on the power went out rendering farms, but they may soon pass a small revolution, increasing their power several times. Increasingly common is the belief that it is not a traditional CPU-based rendering that will be used and developed, but a new way - rendering based on GPU, which means graphic cards.
This technology is admittedly quite new, but already boasts a success. Designed by NVIDIA RealityServer can in fact render the graphics much faster than the CPU. As the development of this technology continues, it will be even better. So it appears that the CPU in graphics will play a secondary role.
