The prisms are producing white light only for me. Is anyone getting color?

Sadly cant enable console with UUU in these demos. Might have to compile the whole thing later, meh.

Will try to compile and do tests during weekend.

Boundary Benchmark released.

None of the download links work.

None of the download links work.

Just tried and the newly-added Google Drive 02-04 links do work and at full speed.

I compiled the editor and got the prisms to produce color. The "povray" project has a gem asset using a material with the same name as the prisms and it works.

So copy this:
MeshCausticsDemo_4.25\Content\gem\gem\Materials\gem_Inst.uasset

Here:
MeshCausticsDispersion_4.25\Content\gem\gem\Materials\gem_Inst.uasset

Work for me too!
I also got coloured caustic dispersion in the mesh caustics Demo.

Oh it does work in the standalone aswell. Had to press 6 or 7 to add/decrease glass dispersion value. Thought I had tried all the buttons lol...

Pretty.

Impressive RTX GI and AO effects are added to Ring Of Elysium game.

@DavidGraham That actually looks really nice. Unfortunately since it's a competitive game everyone is going to play on low settings, lol.

In competitive online games, can you use ray tracing w/dlss to see opponents reflections, etc.. and reflex to reduce latency?

reflections could be an advantage and so could gi for brightening dark areas. But most people will play max framerate.

There's a reshade filter for raytracing (rtgi) has anyone tried it?

Reshade is more a "software" based ray-tracing solution and think it's been discussed in the related thread.

It seems a pile up of new RTX titles is coming up soon.

Made by one-man developer Roslagen, the game will be the first RTS to support ray tracing as well as NVIDIA's DLSS 2.0 AI upscaling technique, thus taking full advantage of the hardware in GeForce RTX 2000 and 3000 Series graphics cards.

It's a "synthetic" test, I guess. It's designed to isolate ray tracing performance. Seems to be path traced.

Anecdotal results from the web.

2070 - 16 fps
2070 super - 18 fps
2080 - 20 fps
2080 Ti - 32 fps
3070 - 32 fps
3080 - 46 fps
3090 - 54 fps

First sign that the beefed up Ampere RT cores are doing something. The 3080 and 2080 Ti have the same number of “cores”.

Set for release on November 10, 2020 on PC and XBSX, November 12 on PS5.

The ray tracing features we deploy most often in Observer are ambient occlusion and reflections.

During our research process, it became apparent that they made the most visual impact in the rather dark and gritty setting of our game. Observer: System Redux will be released on the new generation of consoles as well as on PC. Implementation of ray tracing on these platforms differs, so there may be some differences with resolutions and frame rate as well, although we’re working to make them as least noticeable as we can.
