Question RX 7800 XT is good for 1440p Ultra gaming ?

[Roland Of Gilead]

In any case the RTX 5xxx series so far are not that great of a gpu, not even in RT performance. As it seems nvidia used more die space for AI computation, than to increase RT performance vs last gen.

Not to mention those gpus are nowhere to be found, and with those price tags not many average gamers will be interested on them.

Too bad the RX 9XXX launch is on march, I would have loved to see how those cards perform today, not only on rasterization and RT, but also power wise, which is not AMD GPUs strongest point

Yeah, I'm gumming to see these new RDNA 4 GPU's. They're saying about 4080 S raster and near double the RT perf, so it could get very interesting. Now, if only AMD get the pricing right in March, then they could do some serious damage. The shortage on 50xx GPU's plays right into AMDs hands if they can get enough stock out.

Here’s what you’re going to run into though, look at Indiana Jones and how they required ray tracing in that game.

I know, right. This is only the start. I couldn't really believe it when I first saw that RT was baked in on Indiana. I mean, you can't turn it off. Whatever about including it as a graphical setting that can be on/off or at various settings or whatever. That's fine. But hard baked in like that gets my goat up. And it such a wonderful game, that many people would like to play. But if you're GPU is less than a high end RTX 20xx/30xx series Or R6800 and below), you're gonna get a bad experience. Or at least an experience that is not optimal or enjoyable.

Yes, game devs and studios are getting very lazy.

For that title in particular, Most likely nvidia dropped a few coins at the developers offices.

It's almost like they have a fear that if they don't include Ray Tracing that people will think less of the game. I haven't played it yet but is there anything that stands out in the fidelity to say that is defo Ray Tracing?

They have dropped the ball so many times with launches when they actually had a good product that I still have my doubts they will get it right but I really do hope they smash it to mix the market up a bit.

I feel the hard bit is breaking the mindshare though and I feel it will take a great generation and maybe a second to turn the tide.

I am an optimist though!
