The full form of RTX is Ray Tracing Texel eXtreme.
RTX technology, developed by Nvidia, is primarily known for its real-time ray tracing capabilities, which significantly enhance the visual fidelity of graphics, particularly in video games and other visually intensive applications. Introduced as a variant of the GeForce line in 2018, RTX cards are designed to render more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections compared to traditional rendering methods.
In essence, the "Ray Tracing" part of the name directly indicates its core function: simulating the physical behavior of light to create more realistic images. "Texel eXtreme" refers to the architectural enhancements and performance capabilities that allow these cards to process ray tracing computations efficiently. While marketing materials may occasionally highlight "Real-Time eXperience," the technical definition remains "Ray Tracing Texel eXtreme".
