As with many things, though, frustration and disappointment tend to grow over time (especially with a lack of updates or communication). Until recently, NVIDIA has been the sole pioneer of ray-tracing technology, working together with Microsoft to create a robust set of tools that game developers can use to bring the tech to their games.
