RT is what really make Pixar movies looks way better than video games.

It really noticeable, and, IMO the latest hurdle to better looking games.

With that said, games that are using RT nowadays are using it for only PARTS of the visuals.

When games will be able to use it for all effects at the same time (reflections, all light rays on all surfaces, all shadows etc) then you WILL notice it.

It will also ease the work for devs! :)

But raytracing isn't about that. Its about more accurate reflections of light which lead to more realistic mirrors/bounce lighting/etc. Your resolution or hdr/dynamic contrast/whatever will certainly help a bit, but no, the benefits of raytracing are apparent across all screens. Watch every toy story on the same screen and tell me the lighting doesn't look better each sequel. Same thing.

Way more interested in work load performances, I don't really game anymore what I do for fun is data modeling and development stuff. That and I want to get back into cad stuff for 3d printing.

So, steri-strips for pulm punctures.

Neato.

I would say that. Then I enabled ray tracing and wow. I’d happily trade a few FPS for some beautiful liquid eye candy. Having light behave like real light is amazing. Shadows, reflections, god rays. It’s beautiful.

Especially on a 65” OLED.

Ray tracing is used to give physically-accurate real-time lighting and reflections by simulating the bouncing of light through an environment. Without ray tracing, games have to fake things like sunlight illuminating a room through a window, or mirrors, puddles and other reflective surfaces.

The thing is, games have become really good at faking those things, so for a lot of people the difference is only noticeable when viewing side-by-side comparisons, and not really when actually playing in-game.

Ray tracing could be much more than just better lighting and reflections, but it's still a niche capability for enthusiasts with high-end gear. We won't really see the full potential of ray tracing until it becomes standard for the majority of gamers which is years away.

I never hear people talk about how AMD is a full generation behind in RT compared to Nvidia and their new GPU's are on par in RT with 3000 series Nvidia cards so are they worse compared to 4000 series? yes but they're progressing at basically the same rate. Also, not every game supports RT although I do recognize it's becoming more and more popular but most people I know couldn't care less about RT and just want the highest frames possible. Also, who the fuck wants to spend 1k+ on a GPU so they can play games at 60 fps or am I missing something?

Well i tried android first and it was total crap. Sw glitches, bad support etc. and still locked os, not an open source. So i know why i buy apple

She'll develop Bluetooth once she approaches puberty, don't rush things.

There's one of these under the Christmas tree for my 6 week old grand daughter. Bluetooth not included

You lose my money when I need a mux switch to play a game.

Try new Flex Seal Lungs

Ray tracing is not the same as hdr. Rt is used to be able to see reflections in real time on water, for example, and much more complex lighting in general, even though it does not have a great dynamic range.It has much more to do with the physics of light than with pretty colors.

Plaster meaning bandage

cyberpunk has dog shit ray tracing to be fair. that game looked the same to me as well, except with ray tracing off it performed much better. i'm not arguing that not having raytracing is dumb, im just saying that on games that utilize ray tracing well, you definitely can notice in 1080p, there just aren't many games that use it effectively. try out quake 2 rtx on steam. it is free and shows you what ray tracing should look like. they also just released a free update to portal that gave it a graphical overhaul to also use ray tracing. id recommend giving them a go if you want to actually see some good uses of it, and even at 1080p its crystal clear that there is a difference in how light interacts with the game world.

Old news. A twitch streamer (Rudeism) has been playing Elden Ring with one of these controllers for months.

About time! I hope it is something which resolved once the lung healed... I have my best friend fell off the roof working with wires... his lung was punctured, beside other issues... when shit like this happened in your life you pray you do all the research you can do and hope you find something in a doctor would which creates medical miracle.... preserving someone life and maintaining capability! That is a wonderful field to work on and to know it is needed! (my friend are getting better)

I don't see why you would really embrace raytracing if your monitor can't handle the dynamic contrast.

I agree with the other guy. I have a 3080 and play 1440p on a G9. I couldn't tell a sizable difference in CyberPunk with RT on or off.

What do oled or qled have to do with raytracing?

AWWWWWW

Oh never mind. As the Lungs expand.

Doesn’t everything stretch as it expands?

The visual fidelity impact**

The absolutely tanking your framerate impact is pretty hard to undersell.
