Waiting for a $300 card that can play RT ultra @1080p/60fps. Until then, I AM in the raster era.

Speak for yourself, I fixed your post

 

[Zarax]

I fixed your post according to my own personal bias

I returned the courtesy, now please let me know the percentage of players here who can play RT ultra 1080/60: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/

As long as that is less than 50%, by any reasonable criteria we're firmly in the raster era. Take into account that about 35% of all cards in the survey have any RT capability at all, including "jewels of the crown" such as the RX6400.

Bravo on the fix.

Like I said you are in the raster eta, not me


That's the lovely thing about PC, there is no hard locked generations like consoles, you get the performance and graphics that you want and pay for and you play the games you want to and how you want to

 

[LtMatt]

Better way to put it, what percentage of games feature ray tracing in the steam top 100 most popular games? That should tell you what era we are all in.

Given metro ee RT version runs on consoles at 60 fps... Need we say more I wish DF would do a good educational video on the different types of RT we have seen in games and why some hit harder than others and why certain hardware ***** the bed with it turned on and so on

At least amd fans/owners can now turn up RT a bit more with RDNA 3

Haha. That reminded me of our FC6 exchange where you used steam like that which then backfired on you in the end

Hmm, 120 down to 80 FPS eh? In GPU limited scenarios that's optimistic:

Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ Review - Maxing out 3x 8-Pin

The Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ comes with the largest factory overclock of all Navi 31 cards that we've tested so far. Sapphire was also very generous with their power limits. During overclocking, with increased limits we were able to max out the 525 W power delivery capability of the 3x...

How dare you mock the GTX1650 performance and prefer console rabble!
Seriously, the only cards in the sub-$300 market that you can actually find are the RX6600 and the RTX 2060, which aren't exactly attractive cards for RT...

You mean RTX 2070 right?

No 1650 is getting the console perf.

As said before, RT aint getting you better graphics always, just different looking graphics.

We are at the time when graphics make tiny differences.

Best game graphics, without falling into the subjective side, how can you actually reliably measure this?

The same way gymnastics scores are calculated. It's all opinion, different people will have different thoughts.

I haven't played Horizon Forbidden West, but Zero Dawn looked stunning.

Well, they excluded TW3 complete edition because it wasn't polished (performance wise I guess they wanted to say), which has nothing to do with "best graphics".
Oh well...

It's not funny, it's scientifically proven!

Well in terms of best graphics for me (released this year), it is the following and only games I have played:

1. portal rtx
2. dying light 2
3. plague tale requiem
4. grounded
5. Spiderman miles morale
6. ghostwire tokyo

Games, which I haven't played but do look very good and would probably make the list:

- callisto protocol

Honourable mentions:

- lego star wars
- stray
- darktide
- witcher 3 (some dodgy textures, mostly terrain where it looks ps2 quality ruin it for me)

What's funny is that cyberpunk 2077 still easily the best looking game "overall", fired it up the other day to muck about and when you combine max RT settings with QD-OLED and HDR in 21.9 format, it's what defines pc master race for me





As for next year titles, lots for me:

- avatar - rt only title
- atomic heart
- stalker 2
- black myth
- deliver us mars
- redfall
- forza motorsport
- dying 1983
- boundary
- starfield (not officially confirmed to have rt but one of the jobs they were advertising for had mention of implementing ray tracing experience)
- the day before
- skull and bones
- ark 2 (nothing confirmed yet but I believe it is nvidia sponsored and ark 1 had nvidia heavily involved from a technical pov)
- dead island 2


And chances are, there will be plenty more released next year which we haven't seen yet, iirc, resident evil and fc 7 (inb4 24GB vram is required) are due next year, hopefully fc 7 game world is more alive/lived in though.....

Also, maybe dune awakening, by same people who did conan exiles and I think nvidia have sponsored it so hopefully RT goodness as them games always lack in good shadows, lighting and especially reflections!


EDIT:

Can't remember if splinter cell is due next year but it could be pretty damn good....
