Nvidia 'giving' GTX 10xx owners raytracing

right now its rtx die space vs amd compute, and whoever comes up with a better algorithm will be winning

Explain to an oldfag brainlet who doesn’t understand this new marketing stuff

First it was HDR but fucking hl2 and fallout 3 had that

Now it’s ReAL tIMe RaYTrAcing but who the fuck cares isn’t it just a gimmick? Modern games with dynamic lighting already are fine enough

This is like the tesselation gimmick

Engine implementation will also be a big factor moving forward.
I would like to see how DXR performs across the earlier gens of hardware, or between AMD/NVIDIA etc.
It would be pretty great if AMD would enable DXR directly on their current gen like NVIDIA did. There's nothing stopping them.

whether its a gimmick or not really depends on your own opinions of graphical importance. its certainly a big step forward in lighting, but its nothing new. we're just getting closer to being able to render it in realtime

Technically, we could render in realtime with consumer grade hardware before too, like on Brigade.
But it ran on the highest end hardware we had at 20fps at low res completely noisy.

Oh shit i didn't realize, LOL NVIDIA IS GONNA PULL AN INTEL REALEASING SO MUCH SHIT ON A PANIC ATTACK!!!! OH NO NO NO NO NO LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD!!!!!

How else are you going to justify spending money for a new card when a 4 year old one can run everything at 60fps

Add hairworks and to the gimmick list

Does anyone remember the “next gen” render thing from 10 or so years ago that used small dots or something instead of polygons? Whatever happened to that? Anyone remember what I’m talking about?

Wasn't it the shadows in Witcher 2?

They got scared by CryTek bringing raytracing to both regular AMD/Nvidia cards. If Crytek succeeds, then nVidia's RTX has no business charging premium. This is exactly like the FreeSync/GSync nvidia premium bullshit.

Wonder how well Quake II raytraced will run on a 1080.

No, it wasn’t a game, it was an entire new render system that didn’t use polygons

So there's no need for dedicated cores?
Who would have thought

I think I know what you're talking about. It used "atoms" that represented whole objects when put together instead of polygonal models.

Why amd sucks?

Now that you mention tesselation

I wonder...

How many games make use of that technology nowadays?

>the scameon fag is still alive and conducting 'business'
holy fuck, i tought the guy had killed himself by now, but it seems like they are still able to (((convince))) governments into giving them grants for "research"

they want gtx owners to say "wow this looks awesome but it runs at 5-10fps" then they have a reason to spend $1500 on a 2080ti

absolutely this.
it's basically a demo.

Most AAA games in the past few years use tessellation pretty heavily for terrain displacement and close in detail. Check out some metro exodus comparisons.

Right now its completely noisy too but they are using a denoising filter.

dedicated cores are faster, just that.

THANK YOU BASED NVIDIA

did you mean magnanimous?

There is nothing proprietary to Nvidia here. The ray tracing has been introduced using Microsoft's DXR api in DX12. Nvidia has implemented the hardware acceleration for ray tracing in the Turing GPUs. No-one is stopping AMD from doing the same, and if and when they do, the ray traced GI is going to work on those cards as well. But as usual, AMD is way behind.

they just want to make RTX card look good since their adoption of goytx on GTX cards is worse than hairworks

The big question is will Nvidia support SLI ray tracing. I’m sure 2 1080TIs OCed heavy can match a 2080TI. I have HB bridge and 16 lanes per card instead of main stream 8 lanes

Look at that frame time chart and see that flatline of frametime

Nvidia did shot themselves in the foot with RTX. Everyone knew AMD cards were better at compute and bruteforce, and now they pushed development in their favor by promoting meme tech.

DXR is open to anyone though as it is part of MSW DX12 and Vulkan spec. Curious to see what ID would do with this. Doom Overlord with DXR when?

>enable RTX on 10xx series
>force RTX ON on all future game releases
>all games now run at 10 fps on all 10xx cards
>everyone is forced to buy a budget RTX 2060 to play newer games

Nvidia engineers are geniuses.

Ray tracing is so retardedly taxing that you will need the dedicated core regardless. RTX still shit nonetheless.

and also less accurate.

I wonder if any of these will have the raytracing feature.
