I literally don't understand how the fuck people live without ray tracing
>>729244831probably because youre autistic
>>729244918>he doesn't have rt coresKek
Easily
>>729245029no one cares about your garbage thread tismo, merry christmas
>>729245124
Yup, raytracing is big league good. Loois even better in motion
>>729244831you just play the game it's a video gameit doesn't matter
So what was stopping the devs from doing SSR for the floor in the RT Off version, and baking the lighting for that area given the lights will be lighting it up all day round?
>it’s called NIGHT City>retards want it to be as illuminated as possibleGiving third worlders with no sense of the arts access to technology was a mistake.
>>729244831>raytracing off: scene is dark, proper atmosphere>raytracing on: the scene is FIVE TIMES BRIGHTER with RAINBOW PRETTY COLORS. atmosphere ruined
>>729244831>I literally don't understandYeah you don't. There are other methods to calculate bounce light. RTX is mostly just Nvidia trying to establish GPU monopoly by pushing proprietary tech.
>>729244831>>729245198This is the equivalent of motion controls, 3D gaming/TVs and mobile gaming. This is a fad, a dying trend. This shit will be forgotten feature within 3 years.
>>729245198is this a joke? the left looks objectively better here>the scene: a dull, dark, wet, and foggy day>RT off: properly conveys an atmosphere that fits the scene>RT on: "SATURATED COLORS AND FLASHING LIGHTS AND REFLECTIONS AND WE TURNED UP THE BRIGHTNESS AND AND AND-"you have the mentality of a child.
>>729246343Right is how vegas looks like irl
>>729245198Both look like shit
>>729246735more or less yeahnvidia jews are scum
>>729244831Raytracing is just the new BLOOM.
>>729247451I wonder how this trend took off? AFAIK plenty of the people like it... ?
you're all retarded niggers
>>729244831It's honestly pretty good. Instead of getting a card that can run raytracing well, I have extra money for real life fun.I like gaming, I can't justify a raytracing card yet.Also looking at the OP pic it just means I get to enjoy my games again and appreciate them in a new light.
>>729245124Christmas is tomorrow, retard.
>>729247040You wish, it's now going to be a mandatory mainstay so you move onto streaming your games
>nvidia makes proprietary hardware for RT and the best upscaler to support it>hard pivots to AI>abandons the consumer marketit really was a fad
>>729244831the left is more realistic.lights in real life are not that bright that they reflect that much, its always overdone in video games and raytracing makes it even worse.
>>729247530people used to like bloom too.
>>729247792the switch 2 will use it retard
>>729247856>the switch 2lol
>>729247631you can say merry christmas any time autismo, but i told him merry christmas for a reason
>>729244831You're baiting and you're bad at itRTX looks a thousand times worse in your pic >WET FLOORS EVERYWHERE!!!! AAAAA BRIGHT GLOOM AND SHIMMERING!!!! Looks unrealistic. RTX off is what everyone wants.
it looks nice but i shan't be paying the performance tip + tax + tithe + donation + tariff + interest sorry
>>729247729Nobody plays mobile games so they virtually all got delisted, why would streaming services be any different.
Ray Tracing is the most Reddit graphics setting. Doesn't have any substantial effect on gameplay and is purely for nerds to post "LOOK AT MY HECKIN POWERFUL RIG RENDERING THESE REFLECTIONS ON THE GROUND" for upboats. People who aren't severely mentally ill don't sit and stare at a puddle for hours.
>>729244831what is the difference of ray tracing to path tracing?
>>729244831Graphics don't make a game good.
>>729248179Ray tracing is where you rasterize the geometry and textures and ray trace the lighting, then combine the twoPath tracing is where the entire scene is drawn using ray tracing
>bro it's not realistic
>>729248595note how the road doesnt look like a fucking mirror.
>>729248595>everything in focus all at oncereally proved his point, that looks like a painting.
I love the poorfag cope
Reminder that this is purely a rage bait thread
note how the road, still, doesnt look like a mirror. the only meaningful reflections are lights, and even then they're so distorted that you can't draw any meaning from them.
>>729248592i think i understand
>>729244831unironically, left looks visually better, one thing that bothers me is that these ray/path tracing whatever make things way too much reflective, as if everything is made of some polished metal or something and it looks very uncanny, it's much more appealing when there's a balance between reflective and matte surfaces like in the left pic, looks more natural
>>729244831I play 2D games.
>>729244831Shiny is bullshit.
>>729244831>Nerds when ai comes for art>REEEEE>Nerds when ai comes for "graphics">Well acktumally....
>>729244831And hows the gameplay and story changes with it without ray tracing?
WETFLOOOOORS
>>729250493it's more enjoyable
The thing is, cities are visually offensive. You can't make artificial lights look good because they are an affront to nature.>look how nice this prison looksNo fuck off.
>>729250493i'm now imagining a storyline where your buddy is in a gunfight and if you have raytracing on he can't see shit and gets shot, but if you have raytracing off he easily shoots the other guy first because he can see more clearly.
>>729244831They live with about 3-4x more fps than you do lol
>>729244831How is this supposed to be realistic when real streets are never shiny like that? Shit game by shit devs for shithead fans.
path tracing is life changing
>>729244831>how do people live without games that don't look like unatmospheric assYeah truly a mystery.
>>729244831yep literally no reason not to enable RT when it's available on a game
>>729244831>>729245198So just make every surface glossy?
>>729244831how many games even use this?
I still use a 1060 6gb
>>729244831this game is dogshit janky as fuck
Clever use of mixed dynamic and baked lighting looks better than anything RT can do.
>>729248179Ray tracing is when you launch 1 ray per pixel straight forward (say, a table), and then, for each light in the scene, launch another ray from this point to check if the table is illuminated by this light particular.It handles light, secondary reflections, and straight shadows relatively well. It's not hard to do as a render engine. We can ray trace video games real time since 8 years ago? It's roughly (1 + n*lights) rays per pixel.Ray tracing in the vague Nvidia marketing means something a little bit more complicated, which is photon mapping and the like. But very basically, makes some rays impact some textures and the like. It's a bit of a monstrous, frankeistein tech with the traditional raster pipeline, but it works.Path tracing is a total rework and a discard of the raster pipeline. Instead of sending 1 ray per pixel (+ rays for each lights) you send 3000+ rays per pixel. Which bounces off randomly. The idea is that it's exactly like real life: every "pixel" in your eyes are really the average of millions of rays. But then you need a ton of rays per pixel to average.Path tracing's issue is that it's both elegant, real life accurate, and stupidly expensive. So you need to use AI to create frames and to push up the resolution if you want anything like to that to work a 24 FPS, 1024p, on a 5090. But yeah, it's basically the holy grail. In graphics. And what's used in offline rendering.
