Puzzles me when people say it looks a million times better
Saw a light bounce! 1000000% betterer.
It actually makes it look washed out and then you got to put a reshade on top to fix it losing even more performance. Or just turn off trashy RT off and enjoy gaming at high fps.
The Witcher 3 to me just looks stylistically a little different, it's barely 1% improvement.No crashes yet, running pretty well for me, well in the sense, if you like 50-60 fps
These?
RT on looks a million times better and far more accurate:
Just at the RT off and where shadows/underneath objects where the sun can't hit and it's almost like you would think it was night time or those areas where painted in black
By depth and contrast do you mean, it "pops" more? If so, then yes, some might prefer that, same way some love those sweet
In terms of reflections, it isn't even a contest.
Those do look good but that is more down to the art style and intentional to look like that, as developers have said themselves, with RT, they have far more control to get a game looking how they want with RT than raster. and the most important thing for them is it saves a **** ton of time and effort and will also their game worlds to be more dynamic with destruction and so on.
Yup when talking about smaller game worlds/linear games, developers can do the likes of the above very wel, RT reflections is more beneficial for open world games where you have various reflections via materials or/and bodies of water like spiderman, cp 2077, gta 5 etc.
And that is where you're wrong, developers are wanting RT because it saves them time and gives them far more control hence why even regardless of nvidia or amds involvement, they are implementing it themselves.
We have to stop looking at poor release titles and looking at what can be achieved with RT when done 100% right i.e. metro ee. Of course there are plenty of other RT games which run very well but metro ee is the gold standard in both it's implementation and visuals, the fact they got it to run at 60 fps on consoles when any other titles even with only slight RT have to run at 30 fps says it all.
People need to start blaming devs. for rushing out untested/buggy games and not the tech. they're using. But sadly unless you work in the development industry, no one will quite understand what it is really like from a project budget and time perspective.
The moon IS brighter than the sun, and fire itself.
I watch their stuff almost all the time, I am not out of the loop, I just know when it is reasonable to skip the RT and not listen to rabid fanatics.You guys need to speak to Alex from DF to get educated on ray tracing
Thank god developers aren't forcing people to turn on RT, yet anyway.......
With HW that can barely do RT, right now reasonably Witcher 3 which has weak sauce RT is a skip, that was hard.
Well the tools dictate because they cost so much, the majority are nowhere close to entry level let alone 4090 territory which can barely do RT at 4K in Cybercrapped without it's fake frames and upscaling.
Sure you aren't looking at fc 6 rt?

Because they pinky promise that they will do it properly in the future...when your current GPU investment is worth diddly squat. And they definitely won't then move on to the next tech advancement leaving it behind and basically forgetting about it (Looking at you RTX IO...)
Yup I agree there.
