Ray tracing, is it the future or just a meme?

True Ray Tracing is older than you by probably several decades.

Raytracting is a M E M E
Thats why they picked Quake 2 to showcase it - and that's why Quake 2 runs at 40 fps on the best hardware with raytracing enabled.
John Russell
In terms of real-time ray tracing in games it's a meme right now because
1. Even the rtx 2080 ti barely achieves playable framrates with rtx on
2. Most games don't support it yet
It will be legit in a couple graphics card generations.

It's a tradition to demonstrate ray tracing with Quake.
Isaac Richardson
If it was literally any other game after that era, it would've tanked.
Zachary Howard
Give it another 10 years and it'll be standard. A unified lighting/shadow/global illumination/reflection system is the holy fucking grail of realtime rendering. Right now it's just half baked meme features like reflections in Battlefield and a single dynamic light in Metro and in both cases they destroy performance.
Alexander Flores
1. Works just fine in BFV.
Adrian James
They should've done it in Thief 2. That's a game that could really benefit from GI.
Jack Parker
Is it true that RTX is still software based? I remember people freaking out at E3 over the Scarlett having hardware based raytracing. Not a hardware guy
John Adams
There's a billion games they could have picked. For whatever reason, it's been a common thing to use Quake to demonstrate ray tracing. They've been doing it for nearly 20 years.
Mason Rogers
BFV is only using it for reflections. Raytracing tech will eventually replace all lighting/reflection systems and maybe even rasterization.
Jace Morales
Probably. I read somewhere that they are bringing RTX to the 1000 series.
John Roberts
1k series can alrdy use rt
Joshua Green
RTX card literally have raytracing cores inside them
what part of "hardware accelerated ray tracing" dont you get?
Xavier Phillips
I have it with an rtx 2070, runs well. The game looks dated but the shadows are fucking amazing.
63-73 fps depending on the area
It will do wonders for the horror genre
Zachary Sanders
Bfv isn't a demanding game and they only use ray tracing very selectively. I can even play it with RTX on with my GTX card. When you get a ray traced open world game your card will barely be able to play it.
Jacob Clark
Both. It's the future because we'll be hard pressed to make games look much better than they do now but quality lighting can go a long fucking way towards that.
It's a meme currently because no 'average' system can handle it properly.
Anthony Bennett
They already did. If you don't mind playing your games at 30fps.
Ryan Bennett
Not really feasible with even vastly superior hardware to the one that currently exists.
Anyone who has done any rendering knows.
Lincoln Howard
Considering this is Yea Forums, a board about VIDEO GAMES, he is obviously referring to real-time ray tracing you autistic fuck
Easton Ward
wrong
Nolan Walker
a reply died for this

There's a reason for that you realize. Point being it is such an early estimate and may as well be as much of a meme as VR
Brody Evans
Yes, but until it gets optimized + RTX cards come down in price, it won't be practical for at least the next 3-5 years.
