DON'T Waste Your Money On RTX!! "video title"

[shankly1985]

Just popped up into my youtube feed and while already watching it I must admit I totally agree with everything.

It's mostly us the pc Gamers that will sit here and discuse what RT is the game, what game using it better etc already seeing it now with Resident Evil 8

The fact is that bigger communities out there consoles players most of them won't have a clue what RT even is.

I remember making the switch from console to PC and back on console never once did I ever remember questioning the graphics

You make that switch to PC and a hole new world of computer graphics open up to you, you realise now need to know what shadows do etc to get more performance so you begin to teach yourself.

Fact of the matter is RT is great to the user that know what the bloody hell it is
But it's not the be all as of right now.

Please don't turn this into a heated amd vs nvidia thread discuse the video and the technology.

Clickbait video.
Worst raytracing examples in games.
Clickbait thread.
The usual suspects.

Do you ever get tired trying to convince others? Must be exhausting to keep up the charade, even if only for yourself.

Clickbait?

How?
1. I put video title in the thread title to warn you that the title isn't something that I agree with.
Clickbait I wouldn't put it would I?

2. I have put a little message down the bottom to tell people do not turn this into a amd vs nvidia thread and to talk about the technology only.

I agree with the video Ray tracing right now is definitely the future but in its early stage of life it isn't the be all that a lot of users make it out to be.

My favourite game so far is control and it does a very good job at RT but I know what I am looking for and you can spend a lot of times pixel peeking, standing in the same spot looking at all the shadows.

But does it change the game to the point its not enjoyable without RT?

No it doesn't

Agree with this 15k voted poll

That is incredibly disappointing if a 25 year old game is the one of two best examples of RT available.

Agree with this... I don't see the appeal of running an extremely old game with RT it's still an old looking dated game.

Saw title, clicked on it, saw the op username, left

Title of the thread was actually the title of the video.

The minority whose opinion counts



Isn't that subjective though?

I can happily play cyberpunk at 60/70+ fps more or less maxed out with some settings turned down and ray tracing on using dlss. Of course, I could turn ray tracing off and get 100+ fps but then IQ isn't as good and I'm an IQ snob.

If you own an amd card and want to play cp2077 with ray tracing on then of course, there isn't a "choice", it needs to be off unless you are happy with the 30/40 fps or whatever it is amd get.

Point is, it isn't costing anything extra to get rtx/good ray tracing as you don't have any choice to choose a new gen card without ray tracing support and with the nvidia FE, you can get their cards for MSRP (granted need to be on the ball) unlike amd gpus.....



If that is the forum poll we're referring to, it was a pointless poll if wanting to grasp interest in just ray tracing...... as they're 2 completely different things.

I think I might have voted for HDR in that poll too, as if I had to choose between the 2 then yes HDR without a doubt.


Maybe @shankly1985 can request that same hardware unboxed poll to be added to this thread?

How would I do that? At a Don?

Edit or maybe someone start a new thread for it.
