I'm not going to lie, I can barely tell the difference with raytracing on in 95% of games.

What if I told you, I don’t care for ray tracing, I care about cuda.

nvidia really pulled a todd howard 💀 "It just works."

Gamers don't even care about Raytracing, all they know is that it halves their FPS

If AMD gets CUDA equivalent, i would switch in a heartbeat.

The problem is cuda. Not ray tracing.

Honestly, I have never seen an implementation of ray tracing that was worth the trade offs

I dont care about ray tracing at all all i care about is high graphics and high fps and i ended up buying 7900xtx with 7800x3d no regrets at all

I got a 7900xtx and it ray traces like a 3080ti. Not even bad. I play many games with rt. I even got a rdna 3 pathtracing optimization mod for cyberpunk. 1440p with xess ultra quality in 40-55 fps.

Aside from those who bearly know about gpus and are influenced by buzz words no one really cares that much about rt , the main concern when you go with amd is that you dont get cuda

As someone who turns off rsytracing in every game anyways with an nvidia gpu my next upgrade is amd anyways

First and foremost... Biggest complaint and why I haven't upgraded my 2070.... The stupid connectors on the NVIDIA cards

It would be a cool to have raytracing be an option, but I really don’t need it. A lot of beautiful games get but well without it.

Nvidia: OUR NEW 4090 IS THE POWERHOUSE OF RAY TRACING! Also Nvidia: WE are releasing an ai update to improve fps... 😂

Well if amd catches up to them in rt then they gonna come up with some other bs. and people is going to gobble it up like always

Didn't know you were from Pittsburgh too nice to see more creators from our home town 😅

Sorry but i think raytracing is realy extrem overradet. Sure it looks nice and all but good gamedevelopers can get a pretty similarly good lighting just look at Cyberpunk ore the witcher 3 without raytracing. Raytracing is mostly nice for developers at some point because it makes the job easyer for them.

Me chillin with my rx5500 🗿

I've been hearing that the PS5 Pro would be using RDNA3.5+ for the GPU. Maybe it's both, RDNA3.5+ for raster, and RDNA4 for RT.

I wish they could update the 7000 series to work better for raytracing, i love the rastorization of my 7900 XT, hell of a card

ATI was the only one who can competed with Nvidia. After the merge it was done.

I’m def gonna need that ray tracing in Project Zomboid

Amd has always been on top fr

If they do this for their APUs too,they'll completely be rid of anyone needing entry level cards,just hope the do not stuff up pricing like they always do in their launches

People who say nvidia is better because of ray tracing usually own a 3060,4060 card which can barely get above 25+ fps in rt max settings 😂

went from 1060 3gb to 6600 to 6700xt then sold my 6700xt pc and built one with a used 3070 oc for 350 cad kept in pristine condition ( loved that 6700xt killed 1440p gaming)

Not Todd Howard's infamous catchphrase

So double the Performance is around rtx3000 Level. So still 2 generations behind when rtx5000 launches

What I need is CUDA I just got into blender and rt was nice for gaming but now it’s cuda

nvidia still has Remix,voice, DLDSR and HDR video enhancement . not to mention the least bugs running emulators. plus the best display management system.

good i upgrade when 10000 series come out

Excellent.

Yo when are they releasing the drivers update?

Nice been wanting to use amd but didnt wanna have shit ray tracing guess its time go make the switch

my next upgrade is probably gonna be a team blue next gen card

Unfortunately, I use apps that use CUDA acceleration for functionality. So I'm kinda stuck until AMD develops better relationships with 3rd party developers.

coming from a 2060, i'm still deciding if i should jump to a 4060ti or a 7700xt

I need AMD to use the 12VHPWR connector before I consider switching

Is need to get all the same nvidia only settings on AMD before I switch

Retracing is incredible the water and windows I’ve seen are phenomenal of course I’m sure it matter if the programming use it

Ok then 8000 series here I come

As someone who play casual game and not competitive game, i see high graphic as a win

I just wanna know which gpu I should get for 3D modeling

Team green (nvidia)- i am the best Team red (amd)- no i am better than you Team blue (intel)- just you wait

Finally my cpu and gpu will be brothers

I got a 7900 gre, works just fine doing ray tracing, and the difference is substancial in almost every game, yeah, in cyberpunk i need some fsr but it's pretty good

I was planning to buy the 4070 ti super for game and some editing should go with team red? Any suggestions please 🙏🏻

Idk. i’m not a nvidia fanboy but i was debating getting the next 50 series cards, specifically the 5090, since i want whatever the most powerful card is by the time i finally upgrade from my 1650. from hearing that the 9000 cards are tailored to mid range, i might be forced to stick with nvidia 😔

Nvidia be like here is our driver update now after AMD 😂

That's my laptop has a red team and green team and it was perfect.

Unfortunately as 6800xt user ill still go with Nvidia 4000 series sometime soon. Efficiency is so much better and DLSS is just much superior in direct comparison to FSR. I guess Cuda and RT are a nice addition to that.

I never knew nvidia cuda cores can render more graphics more quicly and efficiently leads to smoother gameplay. Ive been focusing on amd gpus as a new pc builder. Im looking for competitive gameplay. From my what i think cuda cores could give an advantage?

I have a 4080 super with a solid cpu and i dont have a single game where it is worth the performance hit to have even light ray tracing on…some games it looks beautiful, some games i cant tell the difference. But even in the games where it looks great its never looked half-my-fps great as that will usually make the dips lower than 60fps and i dont game on a $1000 graphics card to be below 60fps. Im all for the technology but its just not there yet. Considering how gung ho nvidia is about ray tracing it would be my guess that the 50 series cards main performance increase is going to be in making it so ray tracing is actually useable.

Ive just moved from Watercooled 980Ti to Watercooled 3080Ti. I'll start to worry about new card in around 5-8 years.

I just got this thought but i thinking amd is still going to do high end

the thing that makes nvidia better is that the gpu look pretty :3

But is it good for streamers that going to stream with the games?

Nvidia is kinda shit at linux especially in Fedora

they said the same thing with their current RX series, most gamers dont care about RTX and so few games implement it well anyway

If they make Power efficiency better

Plus intel releasing their XeLSS which is the equivalent of Nvidia DLSS this should be great news

We just need a dlss 2.0 level of upscaler . Please AMD that's all we need .

If ROCm gets Cuda performance and support they going to 10x their stock value...

This is exciting to me… I don’t care at all about ray traced reflections. But ray traced global illumination… that’s the one that makes me very happy and I love to see it.

lol my new pc build is going to be full team red anyway

Ye they will definitely catch up in about 5years

7000 radeon witch is gen 2 rtx performs like 30 series rtx

For this year yeah red team, more cheap 140$ then green in my country

Oh yeah rtx that makes water looks like in HL2

My 7900xt ray traces with no issues

Here’s the thing with AMD vs Nvidia, as someone who bought their RX6600 and has had it for a while, the inconvenience of shit being built around/for Nvidia cards as the standard is a nightmare sometimes.

*Meanwhile me, who's been gaming on the lowest settings in any game since 2010* : 🤔 ray...tracing?

I'm kinda mad at the rx 6600 in my new build. Half my old games just straight up dont work. Anything using directx9 is broken

IF ONLY AMD CARDS WERE AVAILABLE IN MY COUNTRY

Ray tracing was cool for a minute

"it might be time to join team red" I only ever had one nVidia graphics card in my entire life and that was an EVGA GTX 660 Ti and that thing overheated all the time. That thing was so terrible.

Nice news but AMD needs to a CUDA alternative

I always play every game with every graphics settings maxed out in native 4k resolution with ray tracing with always hdr enabled, dlss always off, motion blur always off, v sync always off and unlimited frame rates always enabled with games that support unlimited frame rates. I always turn off frame rate limit. I always use these settings for every game even the games struggle to play since I never use dlss. I don't like dlss since it's not running at native 4k resolution and I rather play in native 4k resolution with hdr similar to watching a 4k movies on physical discs that playback on 4k discs but have it apply in the same way for 4k gaming. Just like my library of 4k movie discs, I never stream my movies and video games since. I always go for 4k because I love 4k and I been used to 4k ever since 2014 and I switched to 4k full time with the exception playing old school consoles like my n64 connected to my samsung curve qled 4k tv. My n64 is so pixelated on my 4k tv lol. I even noticed the difference when watching a 4k, blu ray and dvd discs that I bought and own when watching them far away. I mainly use far distance as an experiment but the majority of time, I'm watching my movies and playing video games as close as possible with the screen brightness maxed out and back light brightness maxed out. I'm used to using very bright displays since it has been second nature to me for so many years. I developed a habit for so many years that viewing content at max brightness 24/7 even indoors even with oled displays dark mode always off and auto brightness always off and manual always brightness cranked to its highest settings available is something that I have enjoyed doing and I can't go back to anything else. Using very bright displays is like the equivalent of being used to and enjoying curve displays and it makes me not want to go back to using any flat displays.

I will always buy nvidia my pc with a 970 still works fine to this day

Here's the thing bud, Ray tracing, eat too much power regardless of what you use. The majority of the time, artistic lighting is just straight up better. I think Tesident Evil village is a pretty good example within the castle and very dark areas. Where Ray tracing just makes it hard to see.

Ray tracing isn’t really why AMD is behind, AMD is behind because they can’t compete in the low-end professional field, if you are a creator, the go-to is Nvidia.

Don’t matter unless they come up with a de noiser to compete with ray reconstruction in my opinion

Going against the tide. I like ray tracing on like 10% of games. But its a push thats gonna happen anyway. Even if its not nvidias ray tracing. We WILL have realistic lighting in most games in the future. But more like 10 years away.

GeForce experience is so good though

Ah shit I’m gonna loose my excuse to splash out on nvidia

I just want a gpu I don't have to sacrifice a kidney for. Oh yeah, and won't burndown my house.

If you care about frame gen and ray-tracing you might not be a gamer and only look at the lights bouncing around the case like a dvd logo hoping for the perfect edge bounce.

Me waiting for team blue battlemage

the real selling pint i care about is DLSS, since it basically lets us cheat out better performance than we should have.

What about FSR.?!

Tbh I just use Nvidia because was better for vr, not sure if that's still the case

My 7900 xtx overheats without ray-tracing, I won't even attempt to turn it on it would literally catch on fire.

Keyword "Might"

Been team red for my entire time on pc.

Or they could improve the 7000 series 🤔..the ray tracing on the 7800xt at fairly high end ..

But what about path tracing though?

To this day I still think raytracing is beyond worthless

Leeetssss goooooo

I don't care about RTX. I care about power efficiency and CUDA, something my RTX 4070 absolutely stomps any AMD at.

Once ray tracing is easier to run on every system… devs won’t have to spend nearly as much time on lighting, as it will do the work for them… so even if it doesn’t excite you, it’s good for work flow and efficiency.
