Ray Tracing: Gaming's Biggest Technological "Maybe"

Untrustworthy benchmarks, lacking game support, personal taste in graphics, optimisation problems, developer headaches, hardware companies whose future currently depends on artificial intelligence performance... the rabbit hole of ray tracing goes deep, folks. Let's dive in.

I've been working on this video for a week, obviously the release of Computerphile's video was a complete coincidence. A coincidence that I wanted to exploit to its fullest extent. I was in the last ~10% of the edit stage when I saw the Computerphile video go up, and I hauled butt to get this video wrapped up as fast as I could.

This and price is what has me looking at the new Battlemage Intel card coming out. Great info. I agree with your RTX opinions. I also like it for lighting, not reflections. The cars looks like they're wrapped in glass or are heavily chromed.

I would like to say that I have a very similar opinion, thank you for sharing yours

It's not a maybe, it's a when.

prety sure forza has RT while driving. You can see everythign in the world reflected on the car bonnet it s not just a skybox refection. Also isnt using an AMD card for RT going to ahve massive performance issues and more limited support/implementation since only NVIDIA has hardware accellaration for it?

@nestwr 23 дня назад

There should be a correction about the Forza thing in the video, if there isn't it failed to render. AMD can run ray tracing just fine, I'm on a 7900 XTX and I've completed Cyberpunk and Control at 4K native, as well as Alan wake 2 and most of The Witcher 3 with the lowest amount of upscaling available (see my point about foliage), all with RT on. There is no such thing as "limited support", AMD chips can run all the same ray tracing instructions as nVidia ones and AMD cards have ray tracing specific silicon. The 7900XTX can't path trace as well as the 4090, but that's performance, not support.

vcr vs betamax

@nestwr 26 дней назад

I'm too young to understand this reference

@mikeekim242 26 дней назад

@@nestwr Betamax was the competitor to VCR. Betamax was higher quality, but had less storage and was more expensive, so VCR won until DVDs showed up. If you have no idea what VCR is a quick google is in order...LOL
