It's the materials and the lack of simulation of light scattering in the atmosphere. The materials in GT7 are extremely high quality and crafted with the utmost care but they still look a bit fake because the light is reflected too cleanly. It seems impossible that we'll ever get a real time simulation of that though.

at least in F1 21 it was a combination of both so I'd imagine it's still the case. cubemaps/planar reflections layered beneath the SSR to provide coverage when the screen space effect is occluded, you can see it happen in photo mode when an object begins to disapppear from the screen and its reflection simply starts getting a bit blurrier depending on how much has been concealed.

Excellent! Very interesting video that explains a lot of things! I wanted to ask you if on PS5 you can see the difference between 120 and 60 fps in terms of game fluidity or is it barely visible? In your opinion, on PS5 is it better to enjoy it in 4K 60 fps quality or performance at 120 fps? Having the PS5 and playing it in 4k in both modes, I honestly can't see the difference in fluidity between 60 and 120, you can clearly see that at 120 fps there is a bit of clipping for the objects on the edge of the track and it is noticeable on the background a lowering of the resolution.

@ryanh.739 7 ай бұрын

💯 You definitely want to play at 4K 60fps. When the developers try to stretch it to 120fps, you lose a lot of pretty visuals effects, and on top of that you have a lower resolution, or an aggressive dynamic resolution that stays in the lower range. It’s not worth the visual sacrifice, especially if your playing on a bigger screen.

Agreed, GT7 has motion blur + TAA and I think it looks amazing but definitely not as clean as it could be for visibility. I hope they can find a good AA method that minimizes trailing and shimmering without being as heavy as MSAA. I know Forza Horizon 5 used MSAA and it looked great, except for foliage. Since most F1 tracks usually have a lot of clean surfaces and safety fences it might be good for that.

I’d even be willing to sacrifice fidelity or other features to boost them from half to full rate, ray tracing be darned.

Fantastic breakdown Tom! It's great to see Codemasters putting out such solid releases, year on year. I also appreciate that at least someone at DF has the interest and motivation to cover a yearly sports game, an area that is, understandably, lacking at DF. I realize sports games aren't as well appreciated in the more "core gamer-sphere" demographic that is more interested in this kind of content but stuff like NBA 2K pushes their engine in a similar manner to F1 and is an especially fantastic visual simulation of the real-life sport. MLB The Show is now available on, not only the Series, but the Switch as well. I'm honestly surprised you guys never covered the Switch release. It's a Sony first part dev, down-porting to a Nintendo console. That's practically DF bait!

Thanks for these comparisons. It convinced me to turn off RT for everything except shadows on PC. RT is nice for replays and photo mode but absolutely not worth the huge performance penalty on this game. I don't really care if the Monaco tunnel walls have accurate reflections when I'm driving by at well over 100kph. It's very silly. I would like to see them try to use RT for their audio simulation as that could be much more interesting than burning so much compute to fix up minute details. I will say the RT shadows look much better than the default ones but everything else I don't think would be noticeable in a race.

Driveclub needs a PS5 remaster with the Bikes DLC included and it should be able to run in VR looking every bit as good as the original PS4 release (if not slightly better) at 60FPS in VR. For 2D we should see some implementation of realtime RT in-game. Tall order in concept? Maybe? Will an enhanced PS5 native re-release of Driveclub ever happen, I sincerely doubt it.

I've known since the days of N64 and PS1 that eventually we would reach a diminishing point where graphical qualities are nearly indistinguishable between consoles, if they continue to exist in the future. This video, however, makes me consider that we are still a ways off from that...I imagine the PS6 and Series Y will do real-time ray tracing, including shadows and reflections at 60fps with no issue, but at some point in the next few years a new feature will be introduced that will set the benchmark yet again higher, and yet again the new devices will struggle to fully run this feature at all levels. I wonder what it will be? If I had to guess, it will involve AI and possibly making game characters look more realistic, eliminating the uncanny valley. I would also like to see ground and water textures that do not perceptibly repeat, neither up close nor at a distance, as is still an issue now. Finally, real life is made up of nearly infinite detail and density of "stuff." Although much improved recently, there are literally millions, billions perhaps, units of solid, liquid and gaseous particles, textures, rays, mists and surfaces in every square foot of real life. We are still a long way off from reproducing, say, a dense, detailed forest, in a video game. There are some very impressive approximations, but if realism is the goal, we have a long way to go in that regard. Perhaps that will be the next big thing...what do you think it will be?

It all depends on the amount detail and "realism" that is involved. Realism in games with accurate physics and extremely fine detail, is still a very, very long way off (way beyond any of our lifetimes). For example just imagine the amount of processing power that would be required in order to fairly accuratly recreate a simple backyard sandpit. Where every grain of sand within it (billions, if not trillions) is unique from each other, rendered in fine detail, colored, lit and shaded correctly, had realistic physics applied to it and it's position within the sandpit has been precisely plotted and mapped. Then think about the amount of processing that would then be required if you then had a kid, that simply started to play in that sandpit. To blow your mind even more, then think about it on a even larger scale where that sandpit has now become a windswept beach or even a desert.

Does it use FSR 2 on the XSX and PS5? It looks very crisp. Also are the ray tracing features able to perhaps imitate Insomniac's approach in R&C Rift Apart and Spiderman? Judging by the impact they have on a 4080 which requires DLSS to hit 60fps, I think they are using very high-quality ray tracing. If they limit bounces and use lower res reflections, perhaps that could potentially provide most of the benefits of ray tracing at a fraction of the cost.

But offline I love driving with amazing graphics on my LG Oled, looks spectacular. I have noticed though during rain/wet races, it can lag a bit if you go replay mode and then enter the race again. That gotta be sorted out. But all in all, much much better game than last year which also was probably the worst thus far. But lets see, they can still fuck it all up with bad updates as we've seen in the past. Hoping for the best

4 words: Driveclub. 2014. Still king. The res-way was the wrong way to go for all games in terms of realism, and squandered horsepower that could have gone to ray-tracing in-game, while making the games look too clean and sharp - which makes it harder to hide the lack of detail, thus making them less photo-real.

Im not sure about “minipc”, but the 2080ti/3070 are 60 maxed out at 1080p, the 6900xt was not able to. So for AMD 7900xt+ or 2080ti/3070+. Without DLSS/upscaling

@b1thearchitect401 11 ай бұрын

Yup. There's all this chat about how stuff like RT GI /Lighting is so game changing but I still often find games that carefully pre bake their lighting like AC Unity & Last Of Us Part 1 & 2 look just as good as top end RT GI with like 1/10th of the performance cost. I think RT GI, Reflections & Shadows can all look great, and I've seen them at their best in Cyberpunk but it's still a good few years before it's remotely worth the performance trade off IMO

Because it's not GI and dumb shadows and basic reflections.

@toddsimone7182 11 ай бұрын

It seems there is a performance bug on pc you're encountering and hasnt been addressed in the first patch. I've noticed my FPS tank the second time I launched the game and is related to the video selection mode and switching to windowed and back to full screen fixes it. If you monitor FPS in the menu you can see an immediate change. For reference with my 13700k RTX 4080 I go from 72fps average to 95fps in the default benchmark at 3440x1440 all maxed settings. It looks like the RT performance you're getting reflects this.

@derekringer7143 10 ай бұрын

People have been asking Codemasters to update their game engine for years, but I say it's perfectly fine as it is if they're able to deliver on the 60/120fps targets. When they started making F1 games, in the 360/PS3 era, they weren't really focusing on framerate as a priority and those games felt terrible to play as a result. They didn't even look that impressive visually, neither. This game engine might not be up to the standards set by Unreal Engine 5 but who cares. In a racing game, framerate is what matters.

Well you can only see through your eyes at the moment so simulating your eyes (probably impossible due to the complex physiology) to feed into your real eyes seems a bit silly.

Is raytraced ambient occlusion necessary if it has raytraced shadows? That's something I've always been curious about. Every time I see raytracing videos, it's always with every raytraced feature active. I would like to see what it's like with each one separately first and then with all active

@eSKAone- 11 ай бұрын

Good question

@Ramshir80 11 ай бұрын

In super simple terms, as I understand it, shadows are the result of direct lighting - AO is the result of indirect and ambient lighting. So while they are technically both shadows, they are different things, calculated in different ways in terms of game engines.

@villa_art 11 ай бұрын

@Ramshir80 yeah, but how much of a difference visually will it make if ambient occlusion isn't active? In the comparison, when he showed the raytracing on and was talking about ambient occlusion, you can see the shadows appear on the balconies of the buildings in the background. Would that still happen with only raytraced shadows active, or is that the ray traced ambient occlusion? I've never seen a video ever where they test shadows separate from ambient occlusion.

@Vynzent 11 ай бұрын

I was always confused about this too. "Raytraced shadows" should mean all shading is raytraced as a result of light simulation. I guess they're only split into 2 categories so that people can choose to use 1 or both, to save on performance.

@GraveUypo 11 ай бұрын

they are. the raytraced shadows in these games are very low precision and can't handle subtle nuances, hence the need for AO. heck even offline renderers often use AO for that reason
