How long until we start getting ray tracing-only games?

Can't wait for it to sell 8 copies because everyone still has a 1060 or steam deck

>steam deck
Steam Deck's GPU is technically capable of ray tracing.

Nvidia has a lot of sway in the gaming industry. They're gonna want to see this goal through. If they're willing to spend $40 billion to buy ARM, imagine how much they're willing to pay developers to make their games RT only.
Julian Perry
"nvidia guru" thinks graphics options are bad?
Lincoln Morgan
If you remember how many game devs made their games Epic Games Store-exclusive even at the expense of customers, it's only logical to expect them to take that Nvidia RTX-only paycheck.
Benjamin Sanders
Only PCs can handle ray tracing only games. Consoles still hold too much power. Over half of all video game consumers use consoles, and a large chunk of them use the fucking Switch. You think the Switch can handle ray tracing? Or, hell, the alleged "Switch 2"? Never in a million billion trillion years.
Joseph Myers
This doesn't make sense, if Tim wants most games to be made in Unreal Engine that just means it's gonna support everything by default. Also If the game is "top tier" then it can have a dedicated computer rendering the lightning that's gonna be put on the "legacy lightning" version anyway, if you can generate it easily in real time then it should be faster for even indie level devs to render non-ray traced lightning too.

today i will remind them
William Barnes
On pen and paper, but Steam Deck already has overheating issues. Portable gaming at max specs makes zero sense.
John Flores
wow I can't wait needing 10 times the processing power for a graphical effect that barely makes a difference in the grand scheme of things

Xavier Reyes
hopefully never. Its too time consuming by development standards.
William Miller
whos this fat cunt, he makes a really good point
Joseph Brooks
The problem is that rtx is not a "effect", it quite literally replaces every post-processing there is besides AA and the faggy ones like motion blur or chromatic aberration. A future with ray-traced only games makes sense, just probably not until even toasters can do it just like they can render a 3D model at high resolution. At that point it's probably gonna become like the division between 32bit and 64 bit CPU and GPU manufacturers will have to create code designed for retro-compatibility, this doesn't sound like anything that can happen even in 20 years, it barely sounds feasible on 50.
Connor Gutierrez
This doesn't make sense if you try to imagine what context he's going off of during his time.
He speaks as if there's a myriad of examples for
>perfection = boring
He sure as fuck wasn't talking about film since that was new and unexplored media.
Books? I'm not gonna pretend that I've read a single book from those days so idk.
Music? lmao
>why would you want realistic GTA shooting when you can just go outside and shoot people instead?
Gee.

It's actually more time-consuming to bake the lighting for non-RT GPUs because they can't do indirect/bounced lighting in realtime without the help of workarounds.
Michael Brown
>Only PCs can handle ray tracing only games.
this is nonsense, btw. xsx and ps5 are equivalent to high end PCs.
Hunter Martin
isn't it less time consuming than faking lighting and shadows?
Parker Barnes
Cant wait to see the game flop like VR exclusive games have.
Or tell nbidia to stop trying to jew and release affordable cards to gamers instead of to buttcoiners and scalpers
John Ortiz
he's referring to perfect realism not perfection
