And Quake III required a 3D accelerator. RTX has been around long enough.
And i agree that is a good thing and natural progression/evolution of tech.
What i dont like is nvidia’s cockhold on the tech with insane prices ( for the card and power draw ) as a result. I know other cards are catching up and all that, but the difference is still huge because some methods and functions are locked to the cuda cores and nvidias tech.
I will not be giving nvidia money in the next 7 years. We will see where they stand once i have to replace my (amd) gpu.
How does RT only titles work on consoles? The RT really isn’t that powerful, aren’t they supposed to be equivalent to an RTX 2070 at best? It sounds like the graphics difference will be quite a lot for PC vs consoles.
Consoles have been seriously struggling to run anything past 30fps blurry messes for the past several years. It’s real bad on that side of the fence.
Although PC gamers aren’t much better off, having to buy $900 GPUs every year just to run the latest AAAA blurfest at 30 FPS with AI frame gen on top of upscaling on top of interpolation frame gen.
