Ray Tracing

At 1440p with ray tracing on any setting I was getting frame drops in a few areas consistently but usually only when I loaded into a Site of Grace. This happened particularly at the Caria Manor site near Iji. Then I started 'Shadow of the Erdtree' and oh boy it is tragic, becoming unplayable in...

I read and heard somewhere (I can't recall exactly where) that Nvidia can get away with lower VRAM with their GPUs compared to their AMD counterparts since they have mastered something in relation to "Lossless Image Compression". If I'm not mistaken and from how I understand it, it works just...

Hi fellas below is my setup Mobo: Gigabyte Z97M-D3H CPU: i7 4790K Ram: 16 GB (8*2) 1866 DDR3 GPU: Asus OC RTX 3060 When I am playing games on 1080p ultra or very high settings no issues FPS are above 80 or even 100. But as soon as I turn on Ray tracing it massively drops down to 40-50 FPS...

Hi everyone I just got a RX6600xt for my gaming PC and I don't plan in playing any games with ray tracing on. I wonder if there any other programs that can make use of the Ray accelerators, for example I know nVidia has the RTX voice which I think it's pretty cool.

I'm wondering if I should buy an RTX 3080 card now. I used to watch youtube videos like "Game xxx max setting ray tracing at 4k" and I enjoy the beautiful scenes in that game. Now the price is dropping and I have enough money for an RTX 3080. I wonder that if I buy the card and experience the...

Hello. I'm sure you've seen a dozen of these questions asked but I searched and found no real answer for this, at least they weren't convincing. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to use the RTX feature in games with my graphics card. I see everyone saying all cards can do rt but it...

Hello! I am specifically looking for information and opinions from people who monitor VRAM usage in 2020 titles... Preferably on Ultrawide 3440x1440 resolution. Would you say the 8GB offered on the 3070 is enough for 1440p Ultrawide gaming going forward? I have a 3440x1440 monitor, which is...

Hello. I have an EVGA RTX 3080 coupled with an Intel i7-8700K processor. My average FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 is 65FPS, but I'm noticing that my CPU is taking the hit here. As said in the title, I checked through a recording of task manager through OBS that my CPU usage is hitting 95-100% while my...

Video footage: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10wOL5hS2xB7B4bmIfMSD5UsrrQGNp_aj/view?usp=sharing So I recently bought this 1 year old RTX 2060 from Ebay and once I turned it on to launch some less power consuming games, I was quite happy with the FPS difference compared to my RX 480 8Gb. Then...

I just bought used RTX 2070 for 290€. Will I regret doing this? I'm asking this because used GPUs are expected to drop in price after the release of RTX 3060 and the release of Big Navi from AMD. I was scouting for about a month to get a somewhat decent price for the RTX 2070. Was it a good...

I'm gonna be straight forward as much as possible. Okay so, guys I've just started YouTube and I have 124 (actually 24) subs. The 100 subs was from my previous Pentium 4 low end pc channel sooo.... Yeah I don't have a lot of subs to actually watch my videos. My current PC : Pentium G3220 (2C/2T)...

I see that the ray tracing cores on the RTX 2060 can add more realistic lighting at faster speeds in games, but do those RT cores have any benefit in 2D video editing/rendering in Premiere? Will there be a noticeable difference in render times if I go with the GTX 1660 instead of the RTX 2060...

Hi, I recently upgraded my GTX 970 to an RTX 2080 Super, with that I also upgraded my main display from 1080p@60hz to 1440p@144hz (165hz OC). My CPU is the i5-8400, with a Dark Rock 4 cooler to support a planned future CPU upgrade. So with my new beefy GPU I decided to try Battlefield V with...

Hello everyone on the forum, I have a question for all of the NVIDIA crowds out there. I am looking into getting a new graphics card for my gaming PC I built earlier this year. I need to know how the experience has been with Ray-Tracing. I'm looking at getting an RTX 2060 or 2060 SUPER or even...

Hello, Im planning to buy a new gpu that I'll be using to play games with ray traycing, and my question is: should I buy new rtx 2060 super? (zotac mini,pny dual fan, palit dual) or used 2070 (palit dual)for similar price? I see that rtx 2070 has a bit more rt cores and is overall a tiny bit...

I currently have a Z270-Gaming K3 Motherboard which seems to be incompatible with an Intel i7 8700 processor. I'd like to get the 8700 sometime soon so that my PC is up to scratch for Ray Tracing requirements. I'd also need a suitable heatsink to fit the 8700 too as I'm unsure if the one on my...

Five months have passed since Nvidia introduced its Turing graphics architecture in the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and 2080 cards. At launch, the company touted a long list of games that’d offer support for real-time ray tracing, Deep Learning Super Sampling, or both. But games take a lot of time to...
