NVIDIA To Announce RTX Technology

[Gregster]

So apparently the Star Wars demo was running on a ultra high end 4-GPU DGX Station at 24fps, which costs 60K.

Let me know when this tech is available for £300/400 and running in-game at 120fps. So probably need to wait until 2040 then, that's if there is still anyone left playing on PC due to Nvdia's BS.

I always enjoy someone who see's the positives all the time instead of the negatives

Metro Exodus will be the first game to feature this RTX and will require a Volta GPU to deal with it, as it is very heavy on compute. If this has the potential of what we have seen in some of the demo's, looks like I will be upgrading.

That's always been the case for new tech, it wasn't that long ago that having double-digit CPU cores in a machine would set you back 5 figures.

If In*el had their way it still would

For a single game?

 

[Klo]

You are wrong so I think we will see in 2 to 5 years time.

You probably been played games like Tomb Raider and Far Cry 3, 4 etc, all characters in games are all digital CGI human characters but they all not quite same as in real life until now with next generation real time CGI digital capture hardware.

Holy crap wooow ​

Impressive, but solidly in uncanny valley.

Yeah me too.

Sure, why not. I bought a Rift for a single game (Elite Dangerous) and like the Rift, I expect other games to follow suit..

The reason Volta is used becasuse Nvidia is using deep-learning runnign on the tensor cores to facilitate the speed up.

Volta Gv100 is 14x faster than Pascal GP100.

I don't think the Metro Exodus demo looks that great. It's not blowing me away, that's for sure. And you need a Volta GPU, yeah, of course you do.

 

[Klo]

Pretty meh overall, looks good of course, but nothing amazing.

 

[Klo]

Delete, wrong thread.

It looks very good to me.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Looks good, but as always, implementation and performance is key.

 

[Gregster]

Looks awesome to me.

 

[D3K]

I am super hyped for everything around RTX, but I gotta say the metro demo did nothing for me. I wasn't seeing anything radically different from current tech.

Nvidia, stop being a d*** 2


EDIT: I deleted the Youtube link due to forum language rules but googling the name will find it for you easily enough.

There's another thread for discussing GPP.

nVidia comes up with stuff like this all the time and it never gets realised in actual practice. Unless it's crap like tessellating the **** out of the whole game world to realise a nett performance degradation on their own hardware that is less than any competitors.

Pioneering stuff indeed. Looks rather meh in practice but hey, they can stuff some magic in that Gameworks (tm) blackbox to make the outcome more crap for all but less crap for their gear.

And the muppets cheer them on while they do it.

If this was hairworks you might have a leg to stand on. But its not, this the holy grail for video rendering.

The metro demo isn't jaw-dropping for a couple of reasons (an overcast day and decaying environment doesn't give ray tracing a chance to shine, not to mention the game was not designed to take advantage of ray tracing from the start).
The other demos should be enough to convince you that this is the future.
