It might be but Nvidia might also have a it's own proprietary layer. If RT is part of game work then I think we can safely say this isn't DX12 tech and will be Nvidia only and limited to two graphics cards.

Sigh, a shame more people didn't give their feedback on Raytracing and instead decided to make it about VRR (which there are plenty of threads that talk about that).
Anyways to try and steer the thread on topic. Great to see UE4 is good with realtime raytracing.
Hopefully devs will jump on it and put it to full use. I quite like the idea of playing games that look like movies!

Many games are already developed with RT and having a decent card drastically cuts down on the time needed to create a game. Developers instead of waiting minuets or hours can create the scene within seconds and if they don't like it adjust it in practically real time. A 2 hour job can be done in minuets which is a massive amount of work saved. Many games people play today are deigned with RT.
Wil be depending on how the gaming RT titles look. I'm sure we will see more titles than just Metro on Monday.

And possibly ignoring the effect of Moores Law from 1999 – 2017! But as

Do I care about Ray-tracing?
No.
No.
I don't know, they aren't out yet. If they have a HDMI 2.1 port then they will have support for VRR on that side of things at least. I would be very surprised if they have support for the optional display port adaptive sync standard, but who knows at this stage.
I don't think you understand what ray tracing is.
It's like Tron, isn't it? Lasers everywhere. Pew, pew!

Mate the video is pre-backed with ray tracing added in "real time". It is not 100% real time generated by the Unreal Engine.
Can we have some verification on this please, as I'm sure Jensen said on stage that this was 100% real time, but I may be wrong there.

Yes I do, and I don’t care

The ray tracing lighting is real time, the graphics like walls rooms, environment is not as they were rasterized. And all these at 1080p 24fps
Now if many of you feel happy to buy a $10000 GPU playing games at 1080p 24fps please feel free. The rest of us we do prefer more reasonable cheaper solutions, better resolutions and fps

So long as the movie is worth watching and doesn't just look pretty...
Nothing worse than playing a game that looks great but sucks to actually play.
Hopefully that isn't going to be what we get out of RT in games. Devs throwing candy at it and hoping it makes up for gameplay.

Are there many RT benchmarks out there?
Just wondering what Nvidia are going to use to demo their advantage in RT over AMD.
Also wondering if they will compare to their own previous gen

If you don't care, you don't understand it.

I think it might be 24fps for the video side of things... Has to be?

If you watch Jensen at the presentation he states, while showcasing the video, that this is 10G rays/s on the actual video pushing the card to the limits, and the new card replaced the previous generation multi quadro GPU solution (I believe he said 4 quadro) showcasing the same video back in March.
That is the full stretch of the RTX quadro can do
As @4K8KW10 said here
https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/32042650/
4K 60fps requires 199G rays/s plus approximately 10x this number for noise reduction.
That is 2000G rays/s. With the $10000 card doing 10G rays/s do you believe you will have a RTX2080Ti capable of doing that?
Hell even if we only need 199G rays/s still need a card more powerfull by 20 times over the more powerful RTX Quadro which costs $10,000
Sure in 10 years time, might be able to get a xxx80Ti with that capability, but not on Monday, nor this decade.
And is down to pure simple mathematics.
Personally I am up for ray tracing, but not liking the marketing mockery, because the numbers do not add up.
