THANKS YOU BASED NVIDIA!:

Is that from an audiophile simulator or something
Jose Robinson
Raytracing is nice, but if they wanted to NOT FUCK IT UP they needed to open source it.
Robert Sanchez
reminder that raytracing isn't new and its already possible to path trace with a clever double precision floating point workload.
youtube.com
All sub-modern and modern GPUs and CPUs can do this albeit slowly.
Henry Gray
>muh ray tracing
This is only being pushed so hard because it's the only gimmicky shit NVIDIA has to try and push more units. It's such a meme too, because A) completely unnecessary, you can achieve the same effects using other methods that aren't so intensive you need a brand new top of the line card and B) it still isn't true ray tracing, but more akin to pseudo-ray tracing the same way original Doom isn't actually 3D
Such a fucking meme technology.

>what you do when you find out AMD is out selling Nvidia
Kayden Rivera
Reminder you can have the same exact image with a nice cubemap and no permormance loss, also kys.
Zachary Thompson
Retard, that's the point of RTX and RT cores.
Kayden Barnes
Now post framerates
John Hill
>Raytracing
has been around since the inception of computer graphics. it's not a new thing. I'm not too sure what RTX even does beyond have some API specific optimizations for this stuff.
Ayden Richardson
doesnt matter its vendor agnostic in DX12 now and its called DXR
Andrew Murphy
Quake II is path-traced (ie, "fully" raytraced) in Vulkan, which is an open standard.
Brody Baker
They have specialized hardware for that. But don't mind explaining retards what raytracing is, they will always think it's a Nvidia gimmick.
Ryan Ortiz
>I-It's not a gimmick!
It is when it's used solely to move new units, and can be achived through other means that aren't propriety or need the latest NVIDIA shit. This is of course ignoring the fact that it's not true ray tracing (as that would require an actual quantum computer to achieve).
It is quiet literally, by definition, a gimmick.
Jose Watson

You realize the HD7970 would still be the winner for that?
Noah Green
>geometry is shit but LOOK AT THOSE REFLECTIONS BRO
Go die in a fire
Landon Mitchell
>50 fps plus fps dips at 1080p with a 2080 ti
BIG fucking yikes
next gen nvidia needs to be a big jump in raytracing
Daniel Rivera
You can't have accurate full scene reflections without ray tracing. RTX does ray tracing with exactly the same math you would run on a CPU for an offline renderer. It's not fake in any way.
Kayden Powell
>This is of course ignoring the fact that it's not true ray tracing (as that would require an actual quantum computer to achieve).
You had the change to keep your mouth shut, but yet you choose to ignore that. And not, raytracing not a gimmick, just natural progression of gaming. RTX is a gimmick in it's current state since basically nothing supports it, but RTX is not raytracing, just some kind of hardware accelerator since our current hardware isn't enough for real time raytracing.
Jayden Carter
Even Doom had some implementation of raytracing, the problem is emulating a whole 3D environment full of complex light sources and everything. We have been doing raytracing since ever, just look 3D animated movies. And of course they aren't rendered in real time.
James Richardson
>Ah yes I buy $60 games to spend hours just looking at all the nice reflections!
Colton Brooks
>and can be achived through other means
Nvidia never claimed otherwise. Nobody ever did.
>This is of course ignoring the fact that it's not true ray tracing
It is capable of and is used for actual raytracing/pathtracing. The simulations of light were accurate, and were not faked.
>that would require an actual quantum computer to achieve
Your post has made me slightly less intelligent just by reading it. Please do not post again.
Brandon Hughes
You don't need double precision for raytracing... It's not like it's like some sort of strict physics simulation. The RT cores in Nvidia's RTX are basically low precision matrix multiplication accelerators. They have at least an order magnitude more throughput for that particular task than any GPU on the market using only the compute shaders.
John White
Quality lighting is so important. Hard to believe that's q2
James Wright

Isaac Ross
>they do teh real ray tracin'!
You do realize...in order to do 100% full ray tracing...you need to calculate...ray tracing for every singe...photon of light? NVIDIA is using vector calculations in such a way as to simulate that with vertices, they're not physically tracking a single photon of light and then rendering the scene based on where that little bugger bounces of off and goes. Hence my comment about quantum computers, as you would require near infinite computing power to even accurately calculate all the possible photons of light that would exist in a single frame of rendering at any given moment.
Leo Carter
You do not understand the first thing about computer graphics. That's an extremely ignorant thing to say.
Bentley Torres
Do you even know what quantum computers do or work or do you just think it's another word for VERY FAST AND POWERFUL MACHINE? Also, raytracing is not about calculating every single photon, retard. Jesus Christ, at lest do some research instead of dropping some reddit tier pseudo intellectual bullshit.
Benjamin Martinez
RayTracing is good for gamemaker and 3D graphics artist.
substance3d.com
Jackson Moore
>100% full ray tracing
...can be accomplished with the calculation of a single light ray. Nvidia's RTX cards can calculate much more than that, but for the sake of argument, you only need one. It doesn't even need to bounce to anything. And voila, you have fully authentic raytracing.
Bentley Jenkins
Carson Parker
Don't even bother discussing with a retard that has absolutely no idea about what he's talking about. It's a waste of time, just point and laugh instead.
Blake Wilson
It's Q2.
Cameron White
>I like to look at reflections of myself
What are you some kinda narccicist?
Jonathan Cooper
If you're talking about mainstream GPUs, the Radeon VII finally beat it because it feature 1:4 FP32 which amounts to 3.46 TFLOPS as opposed to the 1.07 TFLOPS that the 7970 was stuck at for a long time.
If you wanted to go super high end/professional tier, it was beaten a long time ago.
Lincoln Jackson
>t. raster vampire
Liam Sanchez
>DLSS
holy fuck nigger what is he doing.
doesn't nvidia itself state that it adds fixed amount of time to rendering?
Jayden Ramirez
Their new sharpen filter is equal to AMD's FidelityFX now and can be adjusted and toggled per game. The driver also has integer scaling. AMD need to up their driver game.
Isaac Howard
>natural progression of gaming
and where does "real reflexions" is part of a "game"
Samuel Taylor
Not him but I assume he meant that true Ray Tracing would involve stimulating all (infinite) paths the light could possibly take. Fortunately, we don't even need to do that since the viewpoint has a finite number of evenly spaced pixels.
Leo Ramirez
the game doesn't seem that beautiful
it's like a triple AAA take on bioshock
HL2 had better gfx back in early 2k's (open to debate on this point)
realtime raytracing could be great
Lucas Ortiz
even after 20 years, quake 2 is STILL a tech demo
Jose Murphy
it really isnt. Calling raytracing a meme is like calling vector 2D graphics a meme.
Bentley Russell
That was raycasting, and it was used to determine what to draw, not for ligthing.
Luis Myers
But it isn't. It isn't the OG Quake2
Anthony Bennett
>raytracing isn't new
Of course it isn't, anyone worked in 3D rendering know that since forever. But now it is "something" because of marketing shit for gaymers
Grayson Garcia
Luis Perry
Left looks better. Right looks corrupted.
