NCA-AIIO Question #17: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is C: Ray Tracing Cores. Ray Tracing Cores, introduced in NVIDIA's RTX architecture, are specialized hardware units built to accelerate ray-tracing computations-simulating light interactions (e.g., reflections, shadows) for photorealistic rendering in real time. CUDA Cores handle general-purpose parallel

Question

Which type of GPU core was specifically designed to realistically simulate the lighting of a scene?

Options

ATensor Cores
BCUDA Cores
CRay Tracing Cores

Explanation

Ray Tracing Cores, introduced in NVIDIA's RTX architecture, are specialized hardware units built to accelerate ray-tracing computations-simulating light interactions (e.g., reflections, shadows) for photorealistic rendering in real time. CUDA Cores handle general-purpose parallel tasks, and Tensor Cores optimize matrix operations for AI, but only Ray Tracing Cores target lighting
