GART: Games and Applications using RayTracing

[Shifty Geezer]

Dying Light 2 raytraced GI looks fantastic. Would be even better if we could actually buy GPUs to enjoy them...

Quite struck by the points were RT fails though. At 1 minute, screenspace reflections are better in the water than the RT reflections which are overly bright on the zombies.

Despite the lack of RT announcement initially, Battlefield 2142 will release with RT AO along with DLSS.

Much better look at this game.

Elden Ring - Maximum Resolution 3840x2160 is that hardcoded or are they just assuming no one can go higher ?
Earlier this year I came close to buying a 5.5K monitor and previously was running at 5.5k (nv surround)

Well, I hope not. 60 fps may be a limit but limiting PC resolutions is something from the 90s.

 

[Davros]

Even a limit of 60fps is not great considering high refresh rate monitors

Next you lot will say you want correct frame pacing.
Come on be reasonable.

So modder(s) have managed to enable RT reflections on player's car during gameplay in FH5 on the day of game's release:

Good job, MS/PG.

Who labelled that 'photorealistic'? Skipping through the first 2 minutes, it's classic computer-gamey look.

Hellblade on PC has been updated to support RT shadows and reflections, along side DLSS and FSR.

Very cool. That SSR shot is funny. The things we get used to.

ICARUS - Prepare for Beta Weekend 7 | With NVIDIA RTXGI, Photo mode and Giveaways - Steam News
November 19, 2021

This Beta Weekend we are adding a major new graphics feature - NVIDIA’s RTX Global Illumination. We have a strategic partnership with NVIDIA and our busy developers have been working closely with them for the last few months to optimize Icarus’ graphics and to apply Global Illumination in ways never done before in an open-world game.
...
Previously most Global Illumination has been baked or precomputed and stored in light maps or irradiance probes for a fixed level or room. Icarus, however, features large outdoor environments that can even change as a forest is chopped down or a base built. Icarus uses a new RTXGI feature called Infinite Scrolling Volumes, which uses ray tracing to constantly update the Global Illumination lighting volume around the player as they move through Icarus’ world. This effectively provides an “infinite” volume of global illumination for the player without needing a huge amount of memory to store an infinite number of lighting probes.

Icarus will be the first published game to use NVIDIA’s RTXGI Infinite Scrolling Volumes.
...
For those of you with NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards, Icarus takes advantage of NVIDIA DLSS to boost performance. Utilizing AI rendering technology and the dedicated Tensor Core AI processors found exclusively on GeForce RTX GPUs, DLSS provides maximum performance and uncompromised image quality.

I don’t know why they release these trailers without comparisons.

Didnt know Bright was such an amazing looking game.

Its great to see that pc gaming is getting extra attention for its games again. Even Halo does. Its more akin to pre-2013 console generation again.

Icarus is a new game that comes with RTGI, through a technique called infinite scrolling, it adds some HUGE image quality improvements to the game base lighting. Comparison in this video below.
