Editing Real-time computer graphics (section)

===Video game graphics===
Real-time graphics optimizes image quality subject to time and hardware constraints. GPUs and other advances increased the image quality that real-time graphics can produce. GPUs are capable of handling millions of triangles per frame, and modern [[DirectX]]/[[OpenGL]] class hardware is capable of generating complex effects, such as [[shadow volume]]s, [[motion blur]]ring, and [[Shader#Geometry shaders|triangle generation]], in real-time. The advancement of real-time graphics is evidenced in the progressive improvements between actual [[gameplay]] graphics and the pre-rendered [[cutscenes]] traditionally found in video games.<ref name="hoso">{{cite book|url={{google books |plainurl=y |id=fvSbCgAAQBAJ|page=86}}|title=How Software Works: The Magic Behind Encryption, CGI, Search Engines and Other Everyday Technologies.|last=Spraul|first=V.
