GART: Games and Applications using RayTracing

Tomb Raider even has shadows for translucent layers of foliage.

hmmmm... there must be a sweet spot in the middle...

 

A list of all ray traced games so far (29 titles and counting) ..

 

And I’ve played exactly zero of them. The backlog is no joke. I’m just now breaking into games released circa 2015. Lots to look forward to though!

 

Maybe you'll enjoy Cyberpunk 2077... in 2077!

 

Yup hopefully all the bugs are fixed by then too.

RTXGI and RTXDI are now publicly available in the UE4 NvRTX branch. No need to apply for access from Nvidia anymore.

NvRTX 4.26.1-3 release

Based on UE 4.26.1-release engine. Changes since nvrtx-4.26.1-2:

Add RTX direct illumination support (RTXDI/ReSTIRS)
Add NVIDIA realtime denoiser support with NRD plugin (NRD/ReLAX)
Add RTX global illumination support with RTXGI plugin

 

We have reached a strange impas when I like the lights in a game world (CyberPunk 2077) better than a tech demo (RTX Boulevard)

 

I think this is just the difference of one being a fully art produced and iterated on AAA game with such assets, and the other being a much shorter produced graphical demo with a lot less art time and resources.

 

And then you have community and mods. There is even vice city ray traced.

 

That is cool. Hopefully these alongside all the other RT enhancements and performance improvements from the NvRTX build come to the main build ASAP, just like DLSS.

@SlmDnk Lol, I was literally just coming here to share the same vid.

 

I searched for this link and didn't find it here already.

 

That was a nice talk. Thanks for posting it! That marbles demo is just insane.

 

F1 2021 will feature Ray Tracing on PC.

Hopefully it’s more impactful than Dirt’s implementation but probably not.

 

So NVIDIA is arguing that using Ray Tracing for direct lighting is better than rasterization in scenes with many lights?
