move the camera down so only the reflected surface is visible and you wont see a reflection anymore because it only reflects whats on the camera

if youd do that with rtx enabled, the reflection will still be visible

so, cope.

Why is Remedy demonstrating raytracing with a flat plane surface? Are they just assuming that nobody knows how easy it is to optimize the tech for geometry that is that simple? Shouldn't they be showing complex curved surfaces of reflective round objects instead of flat windows? An effect identical to that raytracing scene can be achieved with a real-time reflection probe that creates an environment map for that surface because of the fact that it's a flat plane. All you need to do is optimize geometry culling so the probe draws the occluded geometry into the envmap correctly.

It won't be identical, or the same performance wise, considering RTX works on everything all the time, not just where you stick reflection probes.

Nice cherrypicked picture nigger.

We have screen space implementations, which is basically reflections approximated based on what is displayed on screen. But the effect have obvious issues when there are plenty of objects missing from the reflection simply because it is not on screen or have obviously artifacts depending on the angle of view.

Older games either use mirrored model/room as a shortcut by basically creating a copy of various quality for the illusion.

The problem is it doesn't works that good on AAA games.

Those are gateways to the otherworld. The veil is thinning in that universe. Naturally, only the attuned and the innately magical are able to perceive - and by transitive properties - convey (i.e. reflect) those gateways.

What is that supposed to prove?

metro was only using it for GI and AO though while control is using it for three graphical elements (contact shadows, reflections, GI)

>Older games either use mirrored model/room
-Which only works on flat surfaces. Before pixel shader based 3d you needed a specialized engine such as the Build engine to have those mirror spaces intersect with other spaces due to the non-euclidean nature of that bizarre engine.* This new realtime raytracing is supposed to work universally, too bad even the scene that OP posted fails to demonstrate that. But as someone else already said, there are other examples.

I find it hilarious how retards think that RTX has anything to do with ray tracing.
RTX is nothing but another marketing BS from Nvidia.
All raytracing needs is processing power. With RTX ON you basically put a heavier load on you GPU, hence the fps hit. All recent cards can do it at cost of fps, if programmed to.

Yeah, because reflections didn't exist before raytracing.

probably not at 1440p but at 1080p based off of digital foundry's video unless you reduce the settings for each effect I presume.

This isn't a reflection it's another room with a player model mimicking your moves

Not a proper reflection at least ,just a trick , ray tracing goes way beyond that

that's not the fps counter

Why not compare a game that uses other ways to emulate reflections vs ray tracing instead of no reflection effects vs raytracing?

ill just turn the contact shadow effect off. shadows make the least difference in these games

It's still a reflection.

there are plenty ITT and they look like shit

The worst part about this game's basic gameplay design in my opinion is taht it has time manipulation with a depleting resource, yet it still also has health. Why? Why does a player who can control time have to be concerned about what happens as a result of bullets hitting the character? The game should just let you rewind away all hits so you can avoid them and then kill you instantly if you can't manage to do that with the time resource you have left.

It's sadly not even using the RT cores for that, so that would be why.

QB was more an experiment than anything else. It was made for the fun of it and more the story than the gameplay. Some people like this, and others don't. It's the same for Alan Wake.

Judging by what we've heard of Control though, it's taking the lessons they've learned from both games and not only making everything larger, but also makes the gameplay more fun in general.

Because it looked like shit.

Maximum ray calculation distance is a thing. They probably haven't adjusted that properly for that surface. And I'm betting there will be specifically adjusted optimizations like that for all raytraced assets in the game to keep the performance from shitting itself. Afterall, there would be no reason to have 100m traced rays if the reflective object is sitting in a tiny bathroom. The only engine with universal practically infinite ray distances in its raytracing is the Doom engine

because quantum break has a shitton of ghosting too. its a remedy problem

This entire video should be required viewing before you can open your uneducated mouth about ray tracing

Oh mighty chris-totem, I'm gonna find my Waifu today?

I just checked a video of the rtx version and noticed a significant lag. Like a quarter of a second lag at least. It seemed to be limited to dynamic light sources though and not the ones being projected from the sky and wall textures. Still, raytracing should be universal and a light source being dynamic should be no excuse for it to have any disadvantages over static lights. The end goal of raytracing is to have all graphics rendered based on how light reflects from material regardless of where that light is coming from.

Ahh, those crazy Brits and their fancy electrochromic window technology.

?
This is actually how raytracing is implemented in current games.
Stuff gets raytraced at lower rez and then upscaled with the help of algorisms.
No other way to run it in realtime atm.

thats console footage

Thing is I find these type of graphics use to be in terrible taste. It's like the uncanny valley of realism trying too hard to be hyper realistic. When you show off reflections or lighting like that all it does is agitate me and break immersion. A reflection that takes perfect positioning and environmental factors simply exist everywhere. Everything is so artificially clean. It's like taking the parts of the game I would not care about and making them pop out against everything else. It just makes my brain say this looks like shit and it's so artificial it's nauseating.

Just because you noticed one reflection in an olde game, doesn't make it "common"

Making reflection nowadays is as easy as in older times, and it's even the same performance-wise, you need to render the scene twice, the reflection can be even costlier, it's just up to the devs to implement it.

too bad baked reflections look like shit

because rtx is a meme

Attached: max-in-mirror.jpg (1280x1024, 95K)

RTX is NVIDIA's attempt to do real time ray-tracing via traditional cores as well as specialized cores on their GPU die in an effort to accelerate the tracing of the rays. This technically works but it's not nearly enough to combat the performance hit by enabling it in the supported games. So, buying an NVIDIA GPU strictly for RTX is a meme. The technology isn't a meme.

>Can you guess if this is raytracing or ssr?
Parallax corrected cube maps with screen space reflection layered on top
Where is my reward?

you can get mirroring without that rtx shit.

Not him but you do know that Ambient Occlusion is a shader effect that is meant to poorly simulate a small part of global illumination by the darkening places that light doesn't reach well.
The problem is that ambient occlusion effect is typically generated without considering most light interactions, thus it can't account for light bounces and amount of light in a room. Thus ambient occlusion only look natural in overcast weather, but even then it is still not very accurate.

Its just denoising and temporal AA problem.
Unless you want to glue together 4 cards together to render at 2x higher resolution and downsample, small ghosting is a good middle ground between jaggy shit and smooth corners.
Ghosting will end when someone finally makes a reliable pixel displacement solution for temporal correction, for now all are too demanding and the tech is new enough for no unified solution yet.

>doesnt even look like a reflection because its literally just another room
non rtx "reflections" are a meme

and ambient occlusion is still better than objects looking like theyre floating

>looks exactly like a reflection
>this looks nothing like a reflection!
uhhh

The point is you are too used to typical ambient occlusions having obvious halos, to the point where you think that's how it was supposed to look.

It doesn't have to be realistic to look good.

with a 2080ti and dlss

Max Payne 2 doesn't use fake room reflections. It uses actual dual rendering of reflected scenes. The engine checks the perspective of the player's camera and the mirror surface draws an inversed geometry scene that is projected into the mirror object based on that perspective. You can see that the resolution of that render texture there is much lower than the resolution of the game. If it was a double room fake reflection the resolution would be identical.

imagine trying to sound smart when you're wrong, not having AO looks like shit in any shadowed environment

It serves the exact same purpose without being as resource intensive.

Except the Mirror's Edge screenshot does have the effect that Ambient Occlusion was meant to simulate. All you demonstrated is that you don't know anything about global illumination or what ambient occlusion was trying to do.

Resident Evil 2 Remake. I don't have any webms right now but it does have real time full scene reflections. The graphics are per-room optimized so they were able to make all true mirror surfaces have more than just screen space shit.

Yes, same thing.
Same thing happens in Minecraft RTX.

The 2080Ti is NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH so the rays have to be built up over multiple frames, which causes ghosting of changes in lighting, reflects, etc as rays cast 8 frames ago can be on a completely different object than what is there now as the camera is moved, things move, light changes, etc.

Yep, it looks like shit. It only looks good in cherry picked screenshots, but garbage in motion.

There's a much more impressive example in the level where you blow up the universal constructor. There's a hallway with a robot patrolling it, and there's a small round mirror in the upper corner of a bend in the hallway reflecting it at an awkward angle.

Again you don't know anything about how lighting work.

slideshare.net/DICEStudio/henrikgdc09-compat

You should really research global illuminations

gonna need some sauce

That's how it works in Max Payne 2 as well except that the lighting and material shading of that game is orders of magnitude less complex than RE2R. Well, not exactly. Everything that isn't a full scene reflection in MP2 is a fake duplicate room reflection because there's so much less shit to reflect that it's possible. A modern game like RE2R has ridiculous amounts of all sorts of particle effects and screen space post processing constantly going on and you can't mirror that with tricks. You have to use shitty SSR.

I see Nvidia is working overtime tonight

Ambient Occlusion is part of the simulation for Global Illumination. Many modern games use multiple shaders to try to emulate the various parts of Global Illumination, with one of the main reason being reducing performance cost.
The developers for Metro Exodus used RTX for implementing discrete parts of global illuminations (with one of them being raytraced global illumination so no longer tied to screen space and real time [to account for scene light changes]) for performance reason, and even then they limited mostly to one bounce.

How do you think reflections work in real life?

Those are not mirrors, those are reflections. And no we didn't had planar reflections with that quality and without insane resource costs. Some time after ps2 era and with the advent of more open worlds and less loading times/screens rendering scenes 2 times to give the impression of mirrors was not viable anymore mostly because limitations of hardware that barely could run games at 30 fps. So no you didint had mirrors for years now, you had clever devs that weren't the lazy shitheads we have noways, and Pathtracing is fucking insane because its actual accurate light simulation and not only "mirror" since ambient occlusion, indirect/soft shadows are affected by it.

We've come to a time when people are fanboying over graphic settings
You are a bunch of sad people. Seek help before you die alone

You should know by now that graphixfags don't actually play games.

it's a meme because it allows devs to be lazy at the cost of my hardware

These graphic settings require cards that cost more than consoles so it makes sense

Buy the cards now, goy- er, guys! You don't want to feel left out do you?

fpbp

ati cards could do raytracing back in 2005 via opengl

if i were upgrading from consoles to now i would still be tempted to buy a 1080 over any 20 series because we know from experience now that 1080 can last a long time, and that the 20 series of GPUs have at least a greater initial failure rate than the 1080s did

Try reflections on complex surfaces like moving water

technically its just another room with a world model that mimics everything you do thats behind a piece of glass. its easier to just do this instead of actual reflections.

really shows how much you know if you think raytracing/RTX is only an in-game mirror reflection thing.

Yes its alot more than mirrors, but for the price of the hardware needed its an extremely negligible increase. Right now its only being used as a cheap cop out for devs who don't want to bother with the attention to detail of adding things.

i'm still waiting for a good ambient occlusion solution.

That actually looks annoying as fuck, gameplay wise. It looks much more playable without the retarded reflection. All that does is make the screen look like a mess.

That's how new tech works. They hamfist it into everything due to it's 'buzzword' and 'meme' status and never stop to think "Do I really need it?" ... then you get shots like OP which would probably make your head hurt and ruin any sense of fluidity in the gameplay because the reflections are way too strong and steal focus from the action.

Long story short: It's only going to get worse.

What game?

Modern Hitman game already have glass window reflection in the opening level without raytracing by using tricks.

Watch the digital foundry video

>only on a couple of windows, rest are shitty cubemaps

What do you consider a good game user?

Wrong. It will actually vastly decrease development time as artists and level designers don't need to waste time adding thousands of light sources just to make a scene look realistic. Just slap some ray tracing on to it, adjust a few variables and you're good to go.

>wasting money on high end grafix
>not buying a cheap laptop and running everything on low settings
>not modding games to run lower settings than possible with vanilla
muh mirrors

Yeh, give it time you impatient zoomer. Did you know that developing new technologies takes time? Crazy, huh!

-me.

Looks like ass, I'm so sick of these photorealistic uncanny valley ass visuals.

>RTX off
>120fps
>RTX on
>24fps but with the visuals we had access to decades ago

Me too. Maybe on next 2 gpu generations we got this problem solved.

Watch the DF video. In that game the framerate is actually steadier with RTX on, dipping below 60 with it off.

>beautiful and stunning graphics
>shit plot and sjw agenda

Why bother with modern games anymore?

isn't this image actually a virus? why would you save it?

That looks really nice. I'm glad to see a graphics advancement of that quality.

that's a lot of milk

Hitman 2 has reflections like this at a fraction of the performance cost, what the fuck do we need rtx for

fuck off twitter zoomer

Flew in from twitter, did you?
You do realize that the mirrors you posted are all within controlled interior environments. Ray Tracing allows for real time reflections in any place, or variable surface qualities.

RTX me this

I prefer this style of reflection over any of the garbage we get these days.
