Happy to help!

inb4 you have a RX 580

And this is with DLSS on as we're shown

Looks better than witcher you cuck.

In 4k dude.

witcher doesnt even have real time light system nor it has many has polygons

@@98-carlmarkmarak22 actually, it got a raytracing update

I just muted the video 😜

Happy to help.

DLSS fidelity depends on your baseline resolution which determines how much pixel information the algorithm has to work with - on my end w/ 4K resolution I've found that with UE5 games in particular there's absolutely zero difference between DLAA and DLSS on Quality; some other games scale absolutely terribly though like Starfield for example where anything lower than DLAA ends up looking like 1080p.

I agree, seems like raytracing is not really being used in a way that meaningfully improves the visual quality, and given the massive cost hardly seems worth it given how little difference its making in most games, cyberpunk makes pretty good use of raytracing, maybe witcher 3 and alan wake and that's about it.

@@JohnDoe-ix4kx I've read and seen comparisons on Witcher 3, in that game seems ray tracing does improve graphics a lot. People talk about good and bad ray tracing implementations. I just wish it was easier to spot the difference when it's on and it made a significant difference, made the graphics much more beautiful and realistic. I tried to recognize it in games that claim they use some kind of ray tracing like Fortnite and Overwatch 2 but I ended up frustrated. I look at the water, reflections, shadows, lights and I ask myself if this is ray tracing or not. So hard to tell. I mean in some cases we see games that are 10 years old now, didn't use any ray tracing but have more beautiful mirror reflections or water reflections so go figure ray tracing lol.

even now it's still a seconds per frame pipeline, something to think about.

Pathtracing is more worth it because it uses more RT effects all at once, but it's also more intensive. Some good examples are Minecraft, Quake 2, Portal, and Cyberpunk

rtx software Lumen UE5+

It's RTXDI, RTAO and Hardware Lumen for GI/reflections.

Happy to help.

RTX off looks better in some cases? Are you mad? xD Which cases? I watched the whole video and RTX absolutely trumps on raster. No weird glow. Shadows come from where they are suppose to be. Textures actually come out proper due to proper reflection/shadows. And don't get me started on the contrast how proper depth image gains from ray tracing.

@@sermerlin1 he's right, in this comparison we see with ray tracing some areas just look way darker, harder to see lol and look at the river comparison, with ray tracing, it even seems to have less reflections on the water lol so go away dude you're not a scientist of ray tracing.

@@agrillhasnoname he isn't nor are you. Read my comment again.

@@sermerlin1 No it doesn't look way better at all, it looks marginally better in some very contrived situations like reflective surfaces, areas with lots of dense ambient occlusion and some specific areas with very intense direct illumination and all at a massive performance cost which is hardly justified again given what is a mostly a mild improvement in lighting accuracy, shadows though are handled by Unreal 5 virtual shadow mapping here and are not raytraced so RT has no effect on shadows here what you're seeing is just darker ambient occlusion. Raytracing isn't a magic bullet, the art style of a game is still the biggest factor in how aesthetically pleasing a game is going to look and unless the developer makes a conscious decision to make assets and environments and materials which leverage RT effects properly then RT is just a waste of GPU cycles. Probably the strongest use case for RT is real-time reflections which are notoriously difficult with rasterization, but any other effect like global illumination (dynamic lighting probes, surfelization, voxel cone tracing, lumen signed distance fields) or ambient occlusion (MXAO, SSAO, TXAO or again lumen) or shadows (virtual shadow maps, signed distance fields, dynamic cascades) can all be achieved with a variety of techniques at significantly lower cost.

True. Path Tracing is the way to go

I can barely notice any difference lol

the real difference of RT and raster is de quality and precision off shadows and is noticeable during gameplay. Path Tracing is the emulation of how it really work global illumination to shadows and reflection. But of course I need at least RT when I play AAA games

@@OmnianMIU RT effects are just added as an afterthought in most titles today, making the results pretty shit and although a technique like pathtracing is technically accurate to real light interaction it wont necessarily make an otherwise poorly made scene look good. Depending on a games art style and whether or not the devs take the effort to make a scene with features and materials which leverages pathtracing like lots of puddles and reflective surfaces ( since really the only thing RT enables that alternative techniques don't already is accurate specular reflections) the high cost rarely compensate the performance lost for what is again a pretty lame or non existent image improvement. Most RT right now is less image improvement and more placebo effect.

@@JohnDoe-ix4kx the cost in performance is nothing with RTX cards. Stop saying bull💩 guys

Isn't ray tracing global illumination though? With ray tracing off, this game doesn't have global illumination?

​@@agrillhasnonameno. GI can be ray traced, but GI itself exists in any game.

@@agrillhasnoname GI is handled by Unreal 5 Lumen in this game, RT only affects direct illumination and ambient occlusion here.

just need HDR tbh, RT is for show-off and shiny ass, but again a little fps impact with reshade can do all that, with the correct setting.

If you mean the engine itself - no, developers have to rely on NVIDIA's or AMD's Frame Generation solutions.

I hope Epic Games includes a Super Sampling and Frame Generation, but with UE games.

It doesnt... 😂😂😂 stop lyin lol

It does … but only if you don’t have the hardware for it. 😅

For some games, yes.

In this game not really a game changer. You can have it enabled and still get mobile graphics... 🤷🏻‍♀️

"I own an AMD card".

In some games yes, in other games is necessary to get next gen graphic, or we still with PS2 graphic for ever....

Ray traced global illumination is where it’s at. Very few games use this. Metro Exodus is one of the best examples of ray tracing done right.
