Hands-down, one of the most important assets in video games is hair, and AMD\u2019s new tech is delivering the highest quality hair you\u2019ll lay eyes on.<\/p>\n

TressFX is the world\u2019s first real-time hair rendering technology in a playable game \u2013 Tomb Raider.<\/p>\n

Lara Croft\u2019s new adventure showcases this technology to full-effect, as AMD and Crystal Dynamics worked closely together to give Lara the most realistic ponytail in the business.<\/p>\n

The DirectCompute tech is also incorporated, and is a real-time physics simulation, which allows hair to react to forces like gravity, wind and movement.<\/p>\n

AMD recommends graphics cards that feature the Graphics Core Next architecture, like the AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series, to really see the effects of TressFX.<\/p>\n
