RT enabled cards doesn’t yet have enough market share for studios to risk it beyond slight additional things, shadows, weapon effects, detailed surface reflections and the likes. General ambiance is still done with the normal methods. But as the...
Yes, but they still spend lots of time on the ambiance and general scenery which is why lots of time the RT’d options seem so minor. I expect as the number of gamers using RT enabled cards increases the amount of time they spend implementing many...
Almost anything you do with raytracing can be done with “normal” methods. The difference is the manpower involved in implementing it and the impact on performance. So some studios have the ability to do both, but some time soon we are probably...
This is true. RT’s impact on visuals also greatly depends on the extent of its implementation.
Some games, RT barely makes a difference while in others it definitely is a noticeable difference.
It’s important to studios, it saves them craploads of time during development which saves them money and lets them put out a more reliable product. So by extension it’s important to the rest of us.
Ray tracing’s relevancy is entirely user dependent. I’ve played several games since I got my 3090 with RT enabled.
It’s important to some and not to others.
FXAA/TXAA smooth an image out. They do not try to insert missing information where there is none.
This is what you get when you don't have AI inserting missing information. Play with the sliders all you want; without AI, information isn't just...
The Epic Games Store released on December 6, 2018, but that post is from November 30, 2018. And you're saying this is a receipt when it was done prior to EGS even existing?
I think you might be grasping at straws.
Did you watch the video? No amount of tweaking will fix those glaring issues; and as far as mitigating them, I don't see how they can mitigate them to the degree that an AI assisted upscaler does. As far as FSR improving quicker than DLSS, I...
Just watched the full DF video, and so far I gather FSR 2.0 is much better than FSR 1.0, but still not as good as DLSS. And it mostly runs faster on nvidia cards than on AMD cards with a few outliers depending on architecture and resolution. I...
Are you maybe confusing NVENC with something else?
Off topic but, NVENC is pretty incredible, really. You have to have a dedicated stream PC with at least a 3900x, to get stream quality more/less better than NVENC (with the StreamFX plugin to...
I’d expect something to do with AI character generation or their long delayed launch of PhysX 5.0. That was supposed to come out last year but like everything got delayed because of COVID, or so they claim*.
So Gaming adjacent?? Pair that in...
