Blender 5.1 Beta Enables Hardware Ray-Tracing by Default for AMD GPUs - 9to5Linux
Blender 5.1 open-source 3D graphics software is now available for public beta testing with new features and improvements.
The Blender Foundation released today the beta version of the upcoming Blender 5.1 series of this powerful, free, open-source, and cross-platform 3D graphics software for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Blender 5.1 promises to enable hardware ray-tracing by default for AMD GPUs through HIP RT, improve GPU rendering performance by 5-10% on various benchmark scenes, and add support for opening windows without decorations on Linux via the--no-window-frame argument, removing the dependence on LIBDECOR for Wayland.
