I think the competitive advantage will still lie with those at 240FPS rather than with ray tracing on at 20FPS... So I wouldn't worry about that.

So effectively seeing around corners without cheating isn't going to be an advantage?

God forbid they have a 'mirror puddle' to take their eye away from the action too ;) :D

Distraction techniques!! I like your style!! :D

Emm,in competitive play you haven't got the time to be admiring the environment. If I did that in Planetside 2 for example,my character would die even quicker than it does!! :p

That's what I've been wondering about too, how good are it's prediction? I never took much notice of this around the time of the RTX announcement as they made it all about the ray Tracing so I need to do some reading on DLSS when I get the time. It sounds like it has potential.

My worry is related to AMD, were they caught off-guard by the direction Nvidia are pushing things & how much will AMD's gpu performance suffer because of it?

For all we know Navi could have taken a completely different direction meaning it needs to be redesigned from the ground up which will push it even further back,
Also, how reliant will upcoming Nvidia games be on these features? I can see it being the new Gameworks so far as AMD are concerned.

Navi was developed with the consoles partially in mind,so AMD will release whatever they have. Unless Navi is also orientated to some degree towards what Nvidia are doing,then it will be what it is.

Also,has anyone realised Turing almost looks like Nvidia now going back to having one set of cards for both consumer and professional tasks??

During Maxwell they split the lines and apparently have re-unified them with Turing.

It'd also be interesting to know that if it's given the exact same situation twice at different times, would it behave the same way both times? I can't imagine AMDs performance will suffer as such, since they aren't capable of doing DLSS, however if Nvidias performance is boosted by offloading AA to a different part of the GPU then the gap will still open.
 
It will be pretty for about 10 minutes, then people will turn it off to get more fps. Like all the novelty graphics features which have come and gone.

And be wondering why everything is so clean and super super shiny in the middle of a warzone ;)

TBH most people wouldn't have even noticed a difference with the reflections unless they slowed the game right down and pointed it out.

That demo they did with the flames reflecting on the car isn't realistic anyway, it wouldn't reflect that cleanly in real life.

Do you live on the Chatsworth estate?

How do you know? :D

The vid looked good to me and what is wrong with NVidia colour representation? What card do you have and what settings do you have?

I just took photos of my car interior, and the seats look bluish on a GeForce, while on my VKworld S8 the seats look purple/darker, as they are in reality. Hence, the fake nvidia colours on the default RGB settings in the control panel :D

What GPU is it? Also, what monitor and what NCP settings are you using?
 
In the future yes, it will be invaluable. As for now? Not at all, if 1080p 60fps is the target for games with an RTX 2080 Ti then how will the lower tier cards perform? The RTX 2070 has 60% the RT power of the GTX 2080 Ti so framerates will not be pleasant. Until there's the power to run RT on mainstream cards it will remain relatively niche. I do look forward to the day it's widespread however.
 
It's another thing that adds one more layer of realism but as it stands now the performance isn't good enough. In a few years.
