The latest AMD Ruby Tech demo is in the works and recently was showcased by AMD at their ChinaJoy 2013 Exhibition Booth. The work on Ruby was started by ATi (now known as AMD) in 2003 as an aim to showcase innovative capabilities of the latest graphic cards at that time. Its 2013 now and AMD have crafted yet again another Ruby Tech demo with the power of CryEngine 3. The new SSDO (Screen Space Directional Occlusion ) technology provides smooth contact shadows and is more physically correct and enhanced than the SSAO method. SSDO also helps in eliminating self-shadowing issues and improves global lightning quality. All these technologies showcased by AMD were rendered off a single Radeon HD 7970 showing the optimizations AMD has made being EAs hardware partner. It should be noted that AMD provides exclusive optimization for Radeon cards with Frostbite 3 powered games such as the upcoming Battlefield 4 and it could also provide better optimizations with CryEngine 3 developed games.
