From videos that I've seen so far it looks as though it relies on a lot of pre rendered / baked lighting. I thought it was an asset flip when I fist saw the trailer. I'll give it a go when it goes on sale.

Yup it is a bit light on the whole as I noticed some reflections disappearing depending on angle/position i.e. the good old SSR trait.
It's a lovely looking game on the whole though especially with hdr.
I was late getting in to it, but still managed to log 533 hours. I really enjoyed the single player PVE, only stopping when they messed with the DLC content 'The Underground' which had its difficulty reduced.
Does that mean you missed Division 2 and the expansion? If you did it might be worth giving them a ago. The story is not as good but the gameplay is better and PVE is improved. Its worth going back to go up to the tower to floor 100 at least once.

Path tracing has been a thing for a few years now but it makes ray tracing look very simple in terms of performance needed, It'll be a very long time before we have cores in GPU's that can do both RT and PT with decent levels of performance on anything newer than the OG DOOM.
Yup looking likely, a 4060/4070 could be a superb card/upgrade, even for 3090 users, might even get more of a boost going to that than you would from a 3080 to a 3090, not to mention price wise.....

Not sure whether this is the place to put it but is anyone getting frametime stutter in pretty much every game?
I know a lot of stutter is down to shader compilation, and general asset streaming due to i/o bottlenecks but I'm getting it even in Doom Eternal.
I looked at a few youtube videos to see if they had similar and I can see the frametime spikes as they transition to new areas, or even chainsaw kills with enemies.
It's annoying

What GPU and Res?
Only stutter I get is from the shader compilation or a new area loading in certain games, mainly unreal engine ones, df show and explain it well.
Doom eternal is very smooth on the whole for me, can see some of my footage here:

I use a 3090 at 3840x2160.
I even get it regularly in GTA V.
Yeah as you say unreal engine gmaes tend to suffer from it a lot. One of the worst had to be Borderlands 3. Tina Wonderlands is far better in that regard despite being on the same engine, but I still get stutter walking up to vending machines, and when weapons spawn from enemies.
edit: just had a look at one of your videos and I noticed what I'm seeing in my games, so I'd say it's the game engine.
I've screenshotted the spike in the frametime graph, it's smack bang in the middle. I cap my fps to get consistent frametimes so in doom I set rtss to 100 and still get those spikes like that.

What CPU and RAM? Any overclocks?
The occasional spike is normal enough but if you're getting it regularly like every few seconds then something isn't quite right.
6800xt also sees similar spikes as my 3080 footage:
So might just be a game thing.
Some games are perfectly smooth with zero spikes at all but sadly majority of them all have it to some extent.
Unless I misunderstood something that is one very badly written article. Isn't Path Tracing just a more version of Ray Tracing. In over simple terms Ray Tracing is sending out 1 ray per pixel while Path tracing is sending out 10's of rays per pixel. Its the same tech just a more processor intensive version with better results. Path tracing is just a type of Ray Tracing, its not a replacement different tech to Ray Tracing. Its more of a setting to do with how many Ray Tracing rays are being used.

Pathtracing is ray tracing so if it can pathtrace at useable speeds then current ray tracing games are going to be ungodly fast. Something crasy like 500% faster at current game ray tracing. That's a pretty big jump for one generation. Path tracing is more about raw ray tracing power rather then a standalone feature. Any current GPU that can Ray Trace can do Pathtracing.

Hi Nexus thanks for the reply.
I was getting spikes very regularly, and in every game. I managed to find the cause of my issue and it turns out it was having afterburner open as opposed to minimised.
Really weird but the spikes have reduced dramatically, now it was just the normal ones like transitioning to a new area.

Pretty much. We only have 3/4 path tracing games right now, iirc: doom, quake, mario and serious sam? But as expected, extremely hard to run hence why path tracing in any modern game will be a long way of
Ah odd that, can't say I've noticed many issues with AB, make sure your polling rate isn't too high as iirc, some find setting it too low can cause those kinds of issues.

Path tracing I think the rays are traced from the source of light bouncing around the scene.
In Ray Tracing the rays go from the camera (players view) and bounce around the scene.
