Buy a $1000 graphics card for RTX reflections goy

youtube.com/watch?v=ekG2q_eYCAM

Is it only 4 games that use RTX?

Mirror effects are nothing special and have been done in many games, it's just part of the world and the player being rendered in reverse behind the surface. It has to be manually added to each environment. Ray tracing can automatically apply real time reflections on any surface, ground, glass, metal, not just ones manually added by the level designer.

what people use for games is shitty fake lighting. raytracing is what everything else uses. there's no reason to stay on rasterization when hardware gets good enough

>what people use for games is shitty fake lighting. raytracing is what everything else uses.
It's computer generated graphics, user. It's all fake lighting.

or it can be done automatically by the engine if it was programmed to support that. Most engines don't bother because it's a lot of extra work for something that's only used in a couple areas. Screen space reflections are good enough for most things.

why did you even bother to respond if you don't know what you're talking about

It's definitely a total waste right now. When the horsepower catches up there might be a reason for it but for now it's just a neat little trick.

that's not a real reflection

i hope RTX catches on, cause devs will be able to put mirrors everywhere, there wont be any more fake reflections and tricks like OP

I'm pretty sure we were talking about this being a thing like, ten years ago but it was mostly done with industrial grade PCs used to render CGI.

Perhaps some engines can do that, but why do we not see any games today pushing refleshings? Likely because its destroys the performance, while ray casting is a built in function of the GPU, which will make real time reflections on multiple surfaces possible with the game somewhat playable.

meanwhile in 2006...

which psx game is this?

>not worth the hardware cost
you can actually play video games on ultra with it. you can't do this with any other card in new games. we say this all the time.

but you're just poor and bitter

Not him but, what games require an RTX card to pull ultra?

BAD GRAPHIC SOUL
GOOD GRAPHIC SOULLESS

if you said anything about raytracing being applied in gaming a decade ago, everyone would laugh at you and say youre nutter

Well, not in gaming, at least not at the time.

I'm more interested in proper sli support for VR

>what games require an RTX card to pull ultra?
*rtx 2080 ti, to be exact
and just about any game that currently sells for full price

Meanwhile in 2001

unironically Monster Hunter World on PC

Your PC looks like LGBTQ+ shit

I assume you're also referring to resolutions beyond 1080p and frame rates above 60. Which at that point, you're probably right.

these were literally the best graphics ever in 2006

What do you reckon Yea Forums should i buy the RTX 2080ti

Eh, it's a nice setup but he can go pound sand for having all that RGB crap in there. I've personally never been a fan of that shit and have always loved building sleepers. There's just something satisfying about hiding modern components in an old IBM box or something.

That's not a competent build. It's a child's toy with a budget that surpasses common sense just like the loop that does nothing but get saturated and perform worse than air while you dump extra pointless heat into the case.

There are mods now that make it even far better than before, and in some ways even better than Skyrim. Look up some of the overhaul mods for weather, water, foliage, faces, see-through windows, etc. It's pretty incredible what's out there now.

This is intentionally misleading. You know the difference, but you're playing it off like there isn't one. You should be ashamed of yourself OP.

What is the appeal of making Minecraft look realistic, it's still a bunch of fucking blocks.

Zoomers are a soulless generation and they consider it their duty to suck the blood life out of everything with their rampant consumerism.

He means running at ultra WITH path traced lighting. A 1080ti can run games with path traced lighting, but not at ultra settings.

>small team of japanese made a better minecraft clone

mojang is completely incompetant soi males and trannies.

god this was depressing the first time I saw it. I walked around for 20 minutes and went back to morrowind.

Eh, if you want to.
I tend to wait and see what's coming down the pipe later. Let them work the kinks out of it. I'm never an early adopter.

>msi geforce rtx
That's a thing? The fuck?

that's what i mean with my post
forcing realism on every single game and going against the artistic direction the game was designed around is quite literally ripping the soul out of it.
i don't mind shaders that add slight changes like dynamic lights, or waving foliage etc, but others that try and make the game look like real life are fucking dumb

I was joking user, no fucking way i'm ever giving jew nvidia money for that junk, unless they prove it has 60-70% performance increase over the 1080ti

How much longer should I wait for an upgrade?

They can't, because card improvement like that hasn't been around for years. There was a time would you actually COULD get that kind of improvement from the next series of cards.

Well, maybe not that much but perhaps like, a clear 30-35% improvement over the last card. To the point that you kind of got fucked over by your last investment. It was annoying but it's why I still have the same attitude. Fuck their new series. I'll wait it out and they can go get fucked for releasing this shit in such quick succession without clear overall performance increases that are impossible to ignore.

Agreed, some games do very well with graphics upgrades; especially games that were done at a time where budget was low or the artists could not quite get what they desired out of the final game. Like using MGSO 3.0 for Morrowind keeps the aesthetic right where it is, but adds some really great texture enhancers, post processing effects and a plethora of bug fixes. Taking Minecraft and making it look "realistic" is the gayest shit on this planet, but so is showcasing RTX with Quake 2, when you can make it look better than the RTX version with BerserkerQ2 or similar HD mods...

I think you're doing pretty good but your OS startup must take a good while.

meanwhile in 1998

It is, but the issue is devs are dummies who refuse to learn new technologies until consoles literally force them to
RTX and dedicated raytracing cores in general is a really good idea but it forces devs to optimize their engine to offload all the lighting work into those cores and sync up the refresh rate with the normal cores.
The result is you can basically stop using the main cores for lighting and use them for more detailed texture work instead, which improves both lighting and graphical fidelity in games.

>I tend to wait and see what's coming down the pipe later.

why would nvidia release anything remotely better than a 2080 ti down the line and not still be expensive as fuck?

you're paying the premium for something that's significantly far better engineered than a 1080ti. long gone are the days where the best video card on the market was $600 tops

a rocket that can reach the moon is going to cost less than a rocket that can reach mars

I don't figure on them remaining complacent. That's not how these companies work.

god
i wish they would give quake 2 treatment to all of these FPS classics, it would be fucking awesome

cards like 2080 ti are going to be expensive until they release a video card that makes 4k 144hz gaming a viable thing, which is no time soon and even then will still be so insanely expensive that the cost of a rtx 2080 ti right now won't seem so bad.

No game will be made that requires anything close to this card's specs to run at average / above average settings. PC gaming won't get more expensive, builds won't start costing more. People that pay to be on the cutting edge always pay a premium, and these same people don't represent anywhere close to a significant amount of the user base that purchases GPUs. Nothing has changed, nothing will change. Suckers will spend the big bucks to brag and find ways to justify the costs, while everyone else continues on in their own way. It's pretty damn tiresome.

I just keep my computer on anyways

Minecraft is fucking gay, but your retarded contrarianism is even more so. Vanilla Minecraft looks like GRIDs, and it has no """soul""". One of the things people used to constantly bitch about was Mojang firing their only artist and trying to pass off the looks-like-shit placeholder art as """retro""" in order to get an easy pass from dumbfucks.
