Ahh but see purchase requires an adult sized wallet.

Could not agree more, shit is sooo blown out of proportion its not even funny.

Hamberder resistant coating?

Trust me I'm a tocdor.

I think the article is using the British definition of a plaster.

i 100% see the difference of ray tracing at 1080p. Spider-man is incredible looking with raytracing on, seeing the real-time reflection on glass windows as you swing by and then distorting the way they would on a glass material. the lighting is also so much more realistic in how it effects things around it. it was nice for a bit, but then i want higher frames for the combat so I turn it off. Would love to have it always on but my PC can't reliably do over 60fps with raytracing at the quality settings I'd want.

Nuice I understand now thank you

Couldn’t read the whole article. Is it actually really plaster? Like a gypsum based material? I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

Relatable.

I don't have Hbo, Apple TV, Disney+, or Viasat. Still those keep spamming me / my feed with crap.

Well, yeah, it is obvious that once it no longer affects performance it will become more used. As of right now and for the near future RT will not be worth it unless you sink massive money into top end parts.

Most people play at 1080p or 1440p, ray tracing is nice but most won't see the difference or care.

Not really necessary. Their market share is like 10:1.

People are buying names not actual performance.

You are seeing it with the ridiculous amount of apple appliances out there.

Was just having the same thought like damn some of the science stuff they do in medicine is cool

Losing.

One has to add that the second best Nvidia is still more expensive than the AMD one and it beats it in everything but Ray Tracing.

Well I do have kid-sized hands and a kid-sized wallet

I am somewhat on the fence when it comes to this. If people have OLED or QLED, then yeah, go for the raytracing eye candy. The problem to me is that it is a tiny minority.

Maybe on an amd gpu. It's typically around a 40% loss on an nvidia card. Ray tracing done well is gorgeous and absolutely worth the cost imo.

And nothing of worth was lost.

A graphics card is a computer part that helps the game look pretty. Ray tracing makes light look pretty. One company, NVIDIA is making cards that have really pretty light reflections but theyre expensive. The other company, AMD, makes cards that are cheaper and make the game run pretty really well, especially on really expensive, big screens. But their pretty light reflections are not as good. But the pretty lights also make the game stuttery so we don’t even have it on a lot of the time.

If you play mostly single player games, and especially those that support RayTracing, the RTX 4080/4090 are better. If you play mostly competative multiplayer games, RTX 4090/4080 are still better, but not by as much. In other words, nVidia won't be dropping the price of their cards any time soon. In fact they're likely to re-up the price of the 4080 in countries where they had previously dropped it.

I was really rooting for AMD to have a big win here, and I'm sadly disappointed. I am however excited about AMDs next generation, as the 7000 series cards are essentially the first of a brand new architechture type that looks very promissing. The fact that they've designed things in a way that can be scalable, should honestly scare nVidia, much like AMD did with their CPU and terrifying intel. I guess I had just hoped the AMD would have been better considering they waited longer to release these cards.

Believe me, I have a 3080 and I turn off ray tracing in most games. Not worth the performance hit. I’d rather play 144Hz 1440p

I was joking above, but in Cyberpunk there was a bug where it might not apply video settings even after restart when I tried. So I wasn't actually sure. :-D Actually, Hitman 3 is where I see it most.

I bet nvidia will drop that 200 soon
