We're multiple years and generations into ray-tracing being a thing. What's the verdict, judge?
Ray-tracing
Oliver Nelson
Jayden Smith
Light Rays go boing-oing-ing on high albedo surfaces.
Light Rays go pewewew-pssssstt on low albedo surfaces.
Landon Miller
ray tracing is bs.
i have it. it makes shadows look so sharp, it feels fake.
remember the umbra, penumbra. shadows arent usually that sharp but in game, it looks so pathetically fake.
Tyler Hernandez
Game changer.
But then again hedonistic shit like video-games won't help us battle our genocide. Just saying.

I think 80's/early 90's style ray tracing just had a cool vibe aesthetically. Old Id Software games look really distinct and striking. It's also fun to learn to implement it in C and they were cool enough to open source a lot of their shit.
I don't think it's supposed to look hyperrealistic so much as it's a stylistic call. I put it in the same box of tricks as like, toon rendering.
Sir, this is a technology board. Nobody is being genocided here, sir.
Jacob Baker
Only poorfags hate it.
Hunter Adams
Nice for renders and likely good in some programmatic solutions going forwards. I avoid it in games though, benefit isn't worth it.
David Gonzalez
The people complaining about it tanking performance are also the people turning on meaningless ultra settings.
Dunning-Kruger, etc.

no recesses; I'm gonna go jerk off in the law library
Parker Flores
already existed back in 1997.
but you NEEDED more.
now cope and seethe.
Aaron King
Lol I got my 6900xt because it was better at raster than my 2080ti by a factor of 3x in most games rt is a fucking meme
Asher Johnson
just another graphics technology like tesselation or geometry shaders. can be used to render light effects more realistically which is a cook thing
seething amd fanatics looks like luddites to me
Levi Rogers
cyberpunk low vs ultra
Camden Peterson
cyberpnuk rtx off vs on
now tell me which options you should turn on for better graphics?
Brody Green
on if you want more realism, off if you want a gamey look
Connor Ward
>38 fps
wew lad
Noah Rogers
both look like shit, but that's a cyberpunk problem
William Howard
Like 3D in the early 90s, it will become a standard eventually, but it's still in the gimmick stage. It's at least two GPU generations away.
Andrew Sanders
I need this on full screen 4K, with live animation, reactive environments and explorable from every angle
Nicholas Price
good if you're into realistic animations, useless if you play 8 bit games
Robert Turner
Yet another thing for studios to waste their money on instead of hiring some decent artists.
Austin Phillips
just wait until 2004 and you'll already have half of that.
Carter Cook
Have only played with Full RTX on one game, Ghostwire Tokyo. Looked bretty gud. \
But overall i think it still seems like a meme, or at least not worth the $$. Could probably still get more for your buck upping regular rasterizing and all its gimmicks.
