Yea AMDs RT performance sucks tho in comparison and FSR doesn't do as good of a job as DLSS
Yea AMDs RT performance sucks tho in comparison and FSR doesn't do as good of a job as DLSS
Kyeah, neither bothers me
KRT is too early to care about, it ruins performance for minimal visual gain
Kand DLSS/FSR are hacks
Kif I wanted my game to run at 720p on my desktop I'd go back to 2006
Kcool on handhelds tho
AThat depends on the game tho some games really do benefit quite a lot from RT
KI've not really seen one. Most enjoyment I've gotten out of RT was replaying half-life at 60fps and seeing scientist's eyes look funny through glasses
KShow me a Cyberpunk screenshot that looks remotely worth the ~80% performance loss and I'll be amazed
Ktruth is we've gotten really good at faking it
Kand RT was pushed way before it was ready to sell hardware
Khappens every time
AMetro Exodus Enhanced Edition looks really good and performs really well and yet is a game that requires RT it doesn't work without it
KI actually play the non-enhanced version because I can't tell the difference and it runs better w/ an official linux port lol
DRay tracing is still a tech demo for now
AWhat with? Baked lighting? Which isn't actually being live rendered and calculated
Awhy do you even care how it got rendered, as long as it look decent lol
ATo be honest for me the enhanced edition somehow gets better performance than the original one don't know how that is possible but it is
DBaked lighting if done properly can look very good and not resource intensive
Twhat a wild conversation
Kmy guess would be you're running the enhanced edition at half the resolution or less
Kand then faking it until you make it
Tnvidia drivers on linux shouldn't be so ass and they should already have been open source to begin with like AMD and Intel
Tthats what it comes down to
Kthe launch version didn't come with FSR/DLSS
AIt's just more impressive knowing it's done in real time
ANo I run it at full res because the performance is good enough at full res around 80 FPS the last time I tested it
Kis DLSS enabled?
DHey if I have windows games I want to install on the desktop side so I can get the game files (say from a GOG installer), what's the best application for that? What I do is copy the game files over to a folder and add in to Steam and configure for proton in there instead.
DCurrently I'm using PortProton to do the extracting from the .exe, happy to know if there's an easier way, and happy to use that method otherwise
Ai think lutris support gog?
ANo it was native res unless the game was lying to me
Kas does heroic
DI'll check that out, and heroic, thank you 
AAnd just to be clear I don't care how a game does it's rendering as long as it looks good but real time rendering is more impressive because it is being done live on the hardware but sometimes like with the Nintendo switch that's not really possible like Metroid prime remastered I'm pretty sure runs at 720P or 900P locked 60FPS and looks really good but obviously it uses baked lighting and stuff to pull it off which isn't a bad thing
Ai always be more impressed to optimization done in game, just like how tf are you rendering fuck ton of entity and still manages to do atleast 60 fps if not more. it just weird to me why are you doing RT now (it is old tech) when you cant even do it without hitting performance loss
KCryEngine with 60k plants on screen at 200 fps vs Fallout 76 w/ an n64 landscape in view struggling to do 40
Knever not funny
ADOOM Eternal is a really good example of a very very well optimized game that looks really good also it's RT doesn't even tank performance hard either
Kboth doom and metro are extremely limited implementations of it though
KDOOM only does reflections, and Metro only uses it for indirect lighting
AMetro Exodus Enhanced Edition uses RT for everything as far as I know
Knope, just global illumination
Kit's the same rasterized game
ABut yea DOOM Eternal does only use it for reflections
AWell I heard that if you were able to use a non RT card on the enhanced edition it would be unplayable due to not being able to see anything
Knope, just no GI
Klooks basically the same as the original
Klittle worse in some areas
