It will hurt things, IMO. Consoles always rein things in to some extent. Even though devs will often push things with their max settings, I don't see how consoles can not have an impact because of underlying design for the console hardware. I don't think it will be completely crushing, because for some time the path forward will be integrating ray tracing on top of raster pipelines; the intent isn't to fully switch all at once because we can't do that. But I can't imagine it still wouldn't have important impacts because if consoles don't support it, ray tracing will be forced to be designed as an extra rather than core to the graphics of a game.

Mr.Vic20 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 IF true, we are looking at, with proper driver optimization, a potential 40%-50% improvement. Which is typical of a reduction in the die size, in this case from 14nm to 12nm. Everything else is either tech that is too early in its life to be of true benefit currently (ray tracing) or unproven secret sauce (DLSS). Rocky, interesting times ahead, but I'm really happy, prices aside, that something new is emerging on the hardware front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 FWIW, whenever I do upgrade, which will very likely be for one of these cards, I'll be giving away my 980, because as far as I'm concerned it's a community card anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was heartened to hear Dice's early thoughts on what can be changed in their current habits of world building to reduce the RTX load and still achieve the same results. IT seems a combination of smart design, driver optimizations, and a little OC'ing might just put me where I want to be this generation! Hype considering an increase!

AbsolutSurgen Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Inside Battlefield 5: GeForce RTX's most impressive ray tracing showcase "It's also important to remember that this is just the beginning and given tools as powerful as Turing's ray tracing technology, DICE is looking towards a future of rich possibilities. For example, the team mentioned experimenting with ray traced ambient occlusion and even the very novel idea of using the BVH structure for GPU particles - meaning that those particles would have perfect placement in the world regardless of the camera location, which could allow for the acceleration of unique effects never seen before in games. But the big deal here overall is that instead of approximating or faking very important real-time effects in their titles, DICE now has access to realistic reflections along with associated behaviours that are a natural fallout from the ray tracing itself. But equally, RTX on Battlefield 5 right now is still very much first generation work - in effect, the ray tracing toolbox has only just been opened. However, with results as impressive as this appearing out of the gate, I'm really enthusiastic about the technology, even though this is just the beginning. The future's looking bright - and exceptionally shiny." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
