Will developers really incorporate Ray Tracing in their engines before a critical mass of people have these cards? 1 minute ago, TwinIon said: They did mention that they worked with Epic to get it into UE4. If it's a feature that devs can more or less flip on for those special few (and use in all the promo footage), maybe it gets used. If it's much more difficult than that, I doubt we'll see it much for a while. That's kind of what I'm thinking. On the PC side today, there are any number of optional special effects in games, including Nvidia specific ones like HBAO+. I can easily see better GI options using some limited ray tracing being something similar that can be turned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but you were sold and ready to buy 6-months ago! What are you selling your 1080 Ti for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I do think his point about ray tracing light being easier is a good one. It should make better lighting a lot easier to do (so long as you have sufficient nVidia hardware available). Once this hardware is more common, developers would probably prefer to leave effects to the hardware rather than have to put in all the work to fake the lighting. It's a good pitch.

TwinIon Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Even after seeing it on the ProVis products, I was skeptical that the USB-C VirtualLink connector would make it to the consumer ones, but according to the specs on the founders editions, they will indeed include it. I wonder when the first VR headsets that support it will come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nm came back in stock! Just ordered I’m a Titan Xp, which is just slightly better than the TI. Hopefully after this announcement I can still get at least $800 (was still going for close to 1k last I checked) for it on ebay so this will only be $400 extra.

Certainly seems that way, but I haven't seen many indications of when a next gen Vive or Rift will actually hit. Next March will mark three years since the Rift's launch, and I can't imagine a successor coming out by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the next HDM will be put forward when they can offer an enhanced FOV via a superior lens. Now that I own a Vive Pro I can directly understand how much more important the lens quality is over the Resolution bump at this phase!

Mr.Vic20 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yeah, it seems that there is a decent amount of hardware customization that occurred to achieve this outcome. I wonder/fear its lack of industry adoption. Could it be the new hair works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
