But yea, Ray Tracing and Turing is gonna age like Milk. I really do hope we see more Path Tracing but we know there's gonna be a cost to make that run even on Ampere and that cost will be our wallets. |
I like to call it early adopter tax - ala like beta testing. Okay its a bit harsh calling it that lol.
Yeah I would like to see more Path Tracing. That can make an average game look amazing. Even for games like Quake II and Minecraft the results are staggering.
It really does give a massive difference in visual fidelity and opens up other opportunities in gameplay.

The worst thing for BFA was RNG loot. RNG loot (stats and pieces) for mythic chests and/or corruption gear. They need to fix that shit in Shadowlands.

"What's the difference between RDNA 2 and RDNA 1? Looking at the Dual Compute Setup, other than Ray Tracing support, this is essentially RDNA as it's presented in the 5700 range. Microsoft talks about the CUs having a 25% performance improvement per clock vs last gen but when they say last gen, they are talking about Xbox One X and not RDNA 1" "Ray Tracing measurements between Nvidia's Turing and Series X are not comparable as they are measured differently." "Minecraft RTX demo on Series X showed it can run between 30-60fps so hard to tell where Ray Tracing performance is." "Shitz gonna be expensive" |
Yeah, its AMD's first attempt with RT and still no real competition for the machine learning of Nvidia (DLSS) - still not convinced that Direct ML can give similar results to latter. And still lagging years behind Nvidia. RDNA 2 might have been competitive last year but with Ampere coming its going get steamrolled.
Big die, will run hot and probably very expensive. Unless they price it much lower (can't see it happening) it looks to be just a slightly better Turing in compute and maybe worse performing in RT. Hope I'm wrong but eh we'll see.
