Amd Ray tracing

[thomasl_99]

Hey all,

 

I am tossing up between getting a 3070 or a big navi 21 card. A bit factor for me is ray tracing. I am a bit concerned as to whether amd’s ray tracing will actually be playable on big title games such as cyberpunk. I know we probably won’t know for sure until the release of it, but from rumours and leaks i just was wondering if anyone has found anything?

 

thanks!

As far as i know Cyberpunk 2077 will support only Nvidia's RTX.

From leaked benchmarks, the 6800XT should have rt on par with the 2080ti.

I'll go contrary to everyone else and say that ray tracing is ultimately done through an interface known as Microsoft DirectX raytracing (DXR) thereforeit should and will work on every GPU...the only problem is performance...no?

CP2077 ray tracing will be available only for Nvidia GPU when it release this November and will be available to AMD GPU later on but no ETA from CDPR when, could be in a few months or longer.

That's a bit stupid given ray tracing is a standard set of DirectX under DXR.

I don't think there is any point right now to obsess with ray tracing. Can you actually think of any game where ray tracing makes the game look a lot better? I look at shit like this all the time and the differences are so incredibly minor with ray tracing.

You only notice them if you pause the game and you compare images but you will never notice those things if you simply play the game.

Ray tracing also takes a big hit on performance so even if you buy Nvidia you're gonna lose a good amount of fps for ray tracing. None of the cards can run 144 Hz on 1440p so what exactly is the point of enabling an effect that is going to give you minor differences that you won't notice just to lose 30 fps?

 

I think ray tracing will only be a viable graphics setting in 2 years when the new cards come out but looking at them now I'd just buy whatever gives you the best performance for your money.

 Maybe need different kind of optimization compare to Nvidia RTX.
