Honestly the vibrance and color of ptgi makes it such a magical experience while rtx seems to keep it practical and realistic

Some things I really like about RTX is the light shafts and how they sort of adapt to your environment (Caves have more noticeable light shafts). I also like how the surface of the water has light casted onto it, which makes shadows and whatnot. The bounce lighting also effects the water's surface. Very cool effects.

It’s not really a fair comparison considering that RTX has different roughness and metallic values than PTGI.

Rtx minecraft keeps the minecraft feel while seus is creating a more realistic looking atmosphere

I feel honoured to have my map showcased In Rtx I never thought I would see it at its peek. And to be the first in the video😏

For me, I think both have their strengths in varying environments. SEUS is sometimes more atmospheric and moody, sometimes Bedrock Edition RTX has nice vibrant colors and materials used. This is also just personal taste, but I prefer how Bedrock Edition RTX retains Minecraft's usual water texture as opposed to SEUS overhauling the water.

this is a nice comparison, i would like to point out that as of now hrr 3 is actually available with improvements. my thoughts on the two compared is that ptgi seems to have a better grasp on the real minecraft aesthetic, sea lanterns being properly presented as a dimmer, more greenish lighting than bright studio lights, ptgi also handles contours/ambient occlusion far better imo. ptgi also has far more immersive dynamic range and tonemapping, as well as bloom, overall selling the lighting aspect better.

the RTX lighting with the SEUS water would be perfect

I really like how cauldrons look with potions and lava in them with RTX on. I wished you showed that. I'm guessing your using Kelly's RTX. What really frustrated me with shaders was that I couldn't use light going through water into a Staind glass to obtain different colors and water effects to show on the floor. RTX is so cool but we need to wait for a few generations so that the majority of gamers will have RTX cards

MC Rtx does better job at raytracing and keeping overall lighting closer to vanilla but Seus adds this special atmosphere, fog, better water. If we could combine two it would be perfect

Minecraft RTX seems to make good use of reflections and specular lighting whereas the materials of PTGI all seem to be rather matte.

Thanks for using my map

They’ve all got some really good features I want like them both at the same time

The main difference between SEUS and RTX is that SUES just uses shaders to simulate RT effects with brute force, while the RTX version uses RT cores to calculate the output via path tracing using designated hardware. Which means that technically at least, the RTX version would always be more accurate and efficient. As for which one "looks good", is entirely a subjective matter.

Don't know what post processing is done with PTGI but RTX definitely gives a flatter and overall brighter image, better for adding your own post effects but PGTI definitely gives a great atmosphere and is much more moody. I definitely prefer the more accurate RTX lighting, which is where some of the brightness comes from, but if I didn't have the choice then PGTI is definitely really cool. One thing I'd like to see though is Minecraft updating their graphics engine so shaders could see more performance, RTX works great but unfortunately is also only supported on Bedrock which is a real shame as although we have GeyserMC to play on Java servers, anyone that's used it knows there's some quirks so it's great for exploring your map but playing on that account as a main isn't very practical. Although Java shaders work well there is plenty of room for improvement, my 3070 doesn't see a terrific amount of extra frames vs the 1050ti I used to own, the card is like 3 times as powerful but it definitely doesn't scale that way. Also for anyone itching to play MC with shaders it is cool but they aren't game changing, like sure it's cool to see your builds in shaders but playing the game is much more enjoyable without the issues imo especially if you play at 144hz. Personally feel like this makes more of a difference than graphics to the way the game feels. 60fps from 30 is a massive jump and same for 60 to 144.

you are too underrated your content is great

both has their own goodness, i wish if we could combine it

Should've mentioned the RTX pack you were using in the video, cuz some other rtx packs change the light blocks drastically

rtx has better interiors, seus has better exteriors imo

They both look so good 🤩

RTX is the king 👍

I like SEUS more because of it's realism, also to mention that it's not an Ray Tracing option official from Nvidia, it's still just a shader with path tracing effect, and it still looks amazing.

You should do a comparison between Kappa Shaders and Minecraft RTX, as Kappa has a feature called “global illumination,” which is so close to Minecraft RTX that it’s honestly scary. It’s nowhere near as optimized as RTX is, though, as OptiFine doesn’t allow direct access to RTX hardware yet, so the shader does the best it can with what it has available to it. But as long as you’ve got enough RAM, Kappa will work fine, and it’ll be the closest you can possibly get to Minecraft RTX on Java.

ngl minecraft rtx really went all out with nvidia. Sure they make even grass reflective, they made it super dark, But at the end of the day they look the most prettiest

I really like seus ptgi, the brightness and gamma levels are almost perfect and it brings a lot of life into the game, making the lighting physics and stuff very real. I also appreciate how the character's vision is blurred and that the light that comes through the surface of the water is very soft. Minecraft RTX does bring some realism but I feel it is WAY too exaggerated with certain things like some surfaces being too reflective and in some scenarios I feel like it makes stuff way too bright and the gamma is like when you max out the gamma on the old minecraft xbox one edition; it changes the colours and makes them look washed out. The thing I do appreciate about RTX though is how well it does shadows and that one scene in the bedroom with the large window and the lantern had those areas that're brighter where the sun comes in just like what happens in real life. TLDR; I really like both Seus Ptgi and RTX and the realism they bring to the game, but I feel that RTX exaggerates stuff too much and can make stuff too bright, which also affects the colours, making them look washed out.

I feel 10x more confident in soft soft, thanks!

I feel like RTX has much brighter and possibly more realistic light bounces. I prefer it for now. Not that it will ever make me use it on my “”computer””

sonic ether manages to recreate the most realistic and beautiful lighting and hdr effects out of any shader i come across somehow. couple that with raytracing and it immediately becomes my favorite shader of all time

Rtx is amazing and I wish I could use it but I really don't want to switch to bedrock for that

frame rate comparisons would also be nice

good video 👍

Worth noting that Minecraft RTX is used together with PBR textures which gives it a massive advantage

Minecraft rtx is basically reflection and bouncing of light while shaders are modifications in Minecraft's lighting system

Seus PTGI looks more atmospheric but it’s near unplayable. It’s just so dark and moody

A lot of the other comparison you'd give it to RTX, but 3:34 looks incredible with SEUS

if minecraft shader packs could use ray tracing modules of rtx cards it would be the greatest thing ever

crazy how a shader made by one guy as a hobby is on par with something made by a team of paid professionals.

I think that the key is customization, with ptgi you have at least some shader settings that you can change, Nvidia RTX is just a demo, not meant to be played with or utilized out of the box

For real, Minecraft RTX uses the light too well. The other shader gets things more "beautiful", however, the work with the light from the RTX, is gorgeous.

I wonder what would happen if Java had rtx toggle settings

at least you can play with good performance on bedrock, java is a train wreck for performance and gets worse and worse the more you develop your base. STGI looks incredible and some of the resources packs looks great but it's all for nothing because practically nobody has the hardware to run it.

It should also be noted the renderer differences. Java is still running on OpenGL as upgrading to Vulcan would alienate a large portion of the playerbase who are still on older systems. But Windows 10 edition, which is how you use RTX, is able to run on modern renderers

You definitely forgot to use a Normal PBR pack for the seus.

I like the addition of the smoke coming up of my laptop thanks seus

If only you can combine the 2, the seus has better lighting while rtx has the better reflections imo

Seems to me that SEUS is better at integrating the overall shader effect but Minecraft RTX has more exaggerated RT effects

Minecraft bRTX is very accurate but it lacks some visual effects that PTGI has.

stone looks like epoxy in RTX but in PTGI it looks like real rock. i kinda hate RTX because it makes some blocks look like they covered in baby oil but overall i like RTX lighting more

Should make this against Better RTX

I wish vanilla Minecraft was like this right out the box

RTX feels so bare without additional vfx, PTGI without the vfx would look a lot like plain RT (its just PT after all)

Minecraft RTX has clean look while Sues Ptgi has a more cinematic look

I tried both with the rtx 3070 ti for a long time. rtx is definitely much better.

To me, ptgi is better for closed spaces, and rtx for open ones.

Just btw Seus Ptgi isnt RTX-enabled, if it would, it would have texture reflecting the image itself by tracing rays (which it clearly doesnt) it's just having some good shading and basic light rays which are included in most of minecraft shaders that doesn't look like a sandwich that went bad for more than a month :)

SEUS seems more complete, with water, clouds, etc. minecraft RTX seems to work better with diffuse/ambient light.

rtx has better lighting, but i don't like how night time looks and water style and rtx has way too much fog for my liking, hopefully those should be customizable.

I think seus looks better and if you want the 3d blocks just install vanilla pbr resource pack

Dude, use a texture pack for the SEUS... And HRR3 please. Pack, like AVPBR or Vanilla accurate x128

In my personal experience with both id say that seus is fantastic but obviously limited whereas rtx is a fully utilised ray traced experience I just use both interchangeably

minecraft rtx crossed with seus ptgi would look amazing

PTGI is definitely winning here. RTX looks great and all but it feels too "bright" to me and the shadows are quite sharp, I think this highlights how it's using raytracing better and can look pretty but PTGI looks so atmospheric and way better. Also, RTX water legitimately sucks, PTGI is totally winning on every scene that has water in it. I was a bit surprised how much smoother RTX's sun was in that wool scene where the sun moved overhead but legitimately you're not going to notice it unless you're on a timelapse and I ultimately prefer PTGI's sharper light rays in that scenario regardless.

Seus PGI - Just because Nivida's RTX has so many issues on Bedrock RN making it seem like they just Forgot it existed

You cant compare Minecraft RTX to Seus ptgi because Minecraft RTX is a system to allow for raytracing resource packs to be added to the game. Each and every RTX resource pack is different in visual quality. If you wanted to compare raytracing quality to find the king you should probably refer to the bedrock edition footage in the video as Kelly’s RTX and you should include more contenders on both Java and bedrock

I feel the rtx still in vanilla but Advance lightning

minecraft RTX seems to have a more natural feel to it, while still keeping the minecraft atmosphere alive, however Seus PTGI just looks good and also kills your graphics card

I played Minecraft wit all of them and I like all but rtx trees looks like plastic at day time still the rest is insane

Strange comparison. Somewhere something looks one way, and somewhere else. Some places have water, some don't. Some have glass, some don't. Somewhere one design, somewhere else

I think they are both really good depending on the situation

I prefer Minecraft RTX because it keeps the shading Minecraft-y if that makes sense. Sues is more for if you want it to look realistic, which looks nice but is unnecessary for the type of game Minecraft is. Sometimes simplicity is great.

Minecraft rtx : Reflection goes brrrrrtttt! Minecraft seus : Wow.

Not fair comparison cause in some scenes there was different daytime But, form what I see, Minecraft RTX is much brighter then SEUS one

Minecraft RTX = looks like real light and looks like real atmosphere. | Seus PTGI = best light mixing... Best light... Best atmosphere

I am playing Java Edition with Seus PTGI on my RTX 4080 Super in native 1440p & it's absolutely amazing, I'm getting pretty stable 120-150 frames per second. :)

rtx makes it too vibrant for reality but it does fit the minecraft style more than seus so if you're going for realism go seus if youre just going for minecraft but looking better go rtx

depends on the texture pack and materials.

Hi, can you please compare Continuum 2.1 with Seus Ptgi or with Bedrock RTX ?

Water is the best part of Sues... 🙂

I really like this map though

did you use pbr textures with seus hrr? this plays a very important role, reflections appear, and most importantly without RTX

PTGI gives me backrooms vibes

I mean, considering Bedrock RTX only works best on PC, with things like the switch not able to really run it, SEUS PTGI is better by contrast, since even though it's locked to java edition, which is PC only, you can use it with Java edition mods and modpacks.

Rtx focuses on realism but respect to game texture. Ptgi full realism

RTX obviously, but some of the stylistic choices fit minecraft better on PTGI

Only this Minecraft moment i need so powered pc

The SEUS E Family is So RayTraced and magical. but a new era of HRR Has come and now its time to make minecraft look so realistic as real life with HRR shaders in the future.....

Seus at all just darker and more soft when rtp gives a lot of light and shapes

I mean it's really hard ti beat true RTX but damn I SUES close. Truly an amazing shader pack.

Did you run both on default, it looks like so cause the ptgi does have an option for rendering a texture differently, like the rtx

A Guy vs A Company whose tech is implemented by the company who created the OS most of us play the game with and on top of that also owns the company that develop the game as well

Something’s are brighter and darker in each comparisons so if this is reflective and it’s not in the other that how do we compare that?

I am a big hater of bedrock, but I must say, the fact you can do a camera obscura with rtx is amazing and gets my #1.

In my opinion Minecraft RTX looks better on interiors while Seus Ptgi looks better on exteriors.

I wouldn't call this a fair comparison. For the Sues PTGI comparison shots, I noticed that the textures for the blocks were the same textures used in the vanilla game - they had no added material properties like you would find in Minecraft RTX resource packs. It makes the comparison unfair.

Well playing in seus ptgi seems good because it got the look of Minecraft but playing in rtx looks different I mean it's looks more real the seus ptgi but we have to bear in mind that we have to make Minecraft look like Minecraft. So I think seus ptgi is good for Minecraft.

it really isn't a one size fits all here, i personally liked ptgi more often than rtx but rtx still looked better at times there its kind of up to personal preference, but rtx doesn't really change a regular survival world all that much, while ptgi does

love how he didnt even set 2.1 up for the reflections to even work

Minecraft is the best use of RTX in my opinion. Every other game it just seems like a gimmick, but it genuinely improves Minecraft.

My main problem with shaders, especially Seus, was that they tried to look "Realistic" at the expense of looking good, or at the expense of looking like Minecraft. Minecraft RTX was less full fledged than I liked. (Seemed like it was more made for the demo, since not all light blocks even give off light with it on), but it at least really genuinely looks like minecraft, and has good colors. Seus looks like a raytracing verison of Seus. (it is ofcs) I'd take RTX if it was full fledged, and on Java. But for now, I use "Rethinking Voxels" and absolutely LOVE it. Plus, way better performance than Sues or RTX, with no real quality compromise.
