This is the raytracing people hoped for. Hope it becomes generally available to devs and supplants NVidia-only alternative.
I'm surprised it runs as well as implied on V56.
RTX is the new "G-Sync"...
I'd love to have seen Jensen's reaction when he saw this. Bet that was a picture.
Does anyone know if this actually uses the RTRT cores in an RTX card or will it run using traditional computation on all GPUs?
I bet it was! :lol:Quote:

4....K..... At 30 FPS. I know there's a lot less going on here than in Battlefield and it will be very optimised but still, when over £1K worth of "specialised hardware" is struggling to get 1080 at decent frame rates and then a relatively old, essentially mid range card can do this, it's pretty funny. I'm having a good giggle.
It's beginning to look like it! Navi based Next gen consoles will have this Neon Noir ray tracing too no doubt so it could quickly become standard.Quote:

Q: if this is in software on Vega, then when would it look like on Dedicated Hardwear like RTX?
In theory, it should look the same (just calculating same formulas on different hardware).Quote:

Just one line in that whole story makes me smile, "a hardware agnostic real-time raytracing demo".
nVidia claimed it wasn't possible, spent billions of dollars designing/making new RTX cores and are now price gouging customers.
If (And they're very big ifs) AMD haven't made similar new cores for Navi (And it's unlikely they did) and if they can run the above code well (Hardware agnostic implies it should) and if they can price it sensibly, AMD are looking at a winner.
Fingers crossed...
The words "knee" and "jerk" spring to mind.Quote:

Well, yeah... it wasn't, back then.Quote:

How is this a problem?
Just like "640k should be enough for anybody", no?
