State of RT today. Is it usuable?

Can they please RTX old games like Thief, System Shock, Deus Ex, Half Life 1, FEAR, ..

I'd definitely like to play Thief, Deus Ex and Half-life 1 remade with ray/path tracing though would also need a complete graphics overhaul really with higher resolution textures, models and levels remade with higher detail, etc.

 

[LeMson]

No chance with HL1, they are busy working on HL3

 

[BigBANGtheory]

I'd like to pay for RTX after it delivers not before.

Hell yeah. I would love to play Deus Ex with it!

Until that day comes, there's always GMDX:

Yeah, played that. Got about halfway before my save file got damaged with a bug where the game would crash. Recently played Invisible War, so might try and start a new game on GMDX in a few months time

The first real RTX title, this is what a PC settings menu should look like. 4A take note!

First reports of the performance are looking excellent!

Got a video coming out before release of some 4K, Ray Tracing goodness. Probably the first big triple-A game that I have played front to back with ray tracing and performance has been stellar.

A beefy one no doubt.
9900, 2080TI, 32gb Ram etc.

However with this same machine I have only ever run ray tracing and 4K as a tech test, because the hit to playability and frames just don’t make it viable to turn on and forget about it.

This is the first time I’ve been able to turn it all up and just enjoy the experience.

Really? Are we talking 30fps here?
No god if it was 30 I’d turn all that off.
60 plus.

So Control is using Ray Tracing on shadows, reflections and global illumination and it can do 4K Ultra 60fps in a single 2080ti.

That’s brilliant! Finally it looks like developers are learning to optimise and work with rayvtracing.

Interesting to notice Control has DLSS.

So with DLSS and Ray Tracing shadows, reflections and global illumination, it can do 4K Ultra 90fps and possible it can do 8K 30fps in a single 2080Ti.

If Call of Duty Modern Warfare released in October 2019 can do 4K Ultra 60 fps with Ray Tracing then it seem Nvidia had finally solved 4K 60 fps ray tracing performance issue a year after launch and 2080Ti owners can finally enjoy ray tracing at 4K 60 fps or 8K 30 fps with DLSS on upcoming games DOOM Eternal, Watch Dogs: Legion, Cyberpunk 2077 and others ray tracing titles without have to wait for Nvidia 7nm GPU in 2020.

PC Gamer have a performance comparison for control including RTX charts.

https://www.pcgamer.com/control-system-requirements-settings-benchmarks-and-performance-analysis/

DLSS is apparently quite good and fairly necessary as a 2080Ti gets low 1% drops under 60fps at native 1080p on High DXR (full lighting shadows and reflections).

If you are happy with 30fps then the 2070 and super versions above it can manage minimums above 30fps on High, 2060 needs medium setting and DLSS

This beats Ray Tracing good old tom

I feel the chasing of making things look realistic in games has made people lose track of the main purpose of gaming.

Yes please.

So how about DOOM RTX and DOOM 2 RTX?

 

[AthlonXP1800]

Ray tracing games list updated 1 September 2019 added DOOM RTX and DOOM 2 RTX support thanked to Modder ‘doom_rtx’ who created the first ray tracing mod for classic DOOM and DOOM 2 used Vulkan API added ray tracing global lighting effects, realistic reflections, refraction, shadows, ambient occlusion and global illumination.

[Biffa]

Haven't the Doom ones been shown to be not Raytracing now?

What is fun for you, may be different for the other.

Shhhhh, the RTX crowd didn't notice.
