A Generational Leap in Graphics [2020] *Spawn*

Are you talking PC next gen (currently 3000 series) or console next gen (aka PC last gen (RTX 2060 performance))?

 

next gen graphics in general.
RT is part of it.
When in one or two years we see RT combined with some other tech like nanite in UE5, or the next iteration of Frostbite, can't wait.

 

I remember people thinking that "Metro:Last light" with PhysX had the best graphics ever

 

Well in that sense there are no next gen games for a long while in your eyes. Il side with df’s finding that its the next gen difference/true next gen leap.

 

While older videos, but I think we should appreciate the gorgeousness of Flight Simulator.

IMHO, it's the most graphically impressive game of 2020, hands down.

 

UE5's lumen does a great job for GI and shadows. Then RT at least for reflections will certainly be supported. Should be too much for new consoles to handle, but PCs should do just fine, and by the time of release next generation of graphics cards should come out.

 

Do we know if UE5's lumen will be in the end faster than (triangle based) RT ?

"Lumen uses ray tracing to solve indirect lighting, but not triangle ray tracing," explains Daniel Wright, technical director of graphics at Epic. "Lumen traces rays against a scene representation consisting of signed distance fields, voxels and height fields. As a result, it requires no special ray tracing hardware."

I would like my RT hardware to be used...

 

Don’t look at +2000 released games this year then

 

Of course

I mean, of course, if the engine is doing RT. Like, I remember the Neon Noir demo from Crytek. It was all about "software" ray tracing, but what the point where the speed is not here at all...

 

yeah I agree. They did software ray tracing on crysis on last generation consoles at like.. 30fps, but it looked pretty terrible

 

SSD tech is already put to great use in 2077 on pc. The game is basically designed around ssd.
Perhaps even MM and demon souls use it.

Still, i dont think an ssd can replace gddr6 ram, not even plain old DDR4 or even GPU power. Theres latency to be considered too. Maybe a optane like solution, but even thats far from gddr6.

I think you hang too much on this ue5 demo. Its a demo, just that.

 

This demo you people keep talking about?
Unreal Engine 5 PS5 demo runs happily on current-gen graphics cards and SSDs | PC Gamer

I qoute:
"
his escalated after an interview with an engineer from Epic China (which has since been taken down) revealed the demo seen running on the PS5 ran just as well on a laptop. In fact the PC reportedly ran the demo better, with the PS5 managing 30fps at 1440p while the laptop hit 40fps at the same resolution from within the editor itself. "

 

And you don't even need a NVME drive...a "regulear" SSD does just fine.

Meanwhile, I can see that I play a bit differently than most people:

 

RT hardware is used in games without RT.

that proves my point, next gen graphics are coming sooner than later and will blow us away

 

Not of the PS5 is going to be the base..30 FPS at 1440p...I wonder what the 3000 series would run that demo at.
But the pulling of that interview triggers my "something smell rotten"...seems like someone didn't like the PS5 being upstaged...bad PR I guess for "Net Gen consoles".

 

not everybody understand what is capping at stable 30fps
