The first beta release for version 2 of the NVIDIA OptiX ray tracing engine is now publicly available to all software developers. Version 2 will eventually be providing newly optimized support for NVIDIA's upcoming "Fermi" GPU architecture. As a precursor to this support, the Beta broadens support to include currently available NVIDIA GeForce GPUs.
