Standalone tech demos:

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.

 

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.

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.
