Sorry buster, but only AMD's brand new GPUs offer Ray-tracing capabilities.

The good news is you probably won't notice the difference without it. And even if you could, turning it on costs you tons of FPS.

aaah didn't realize it was baked in

I can't be bothered taking a screen shot of it but will ray tracing get rid of the washed out uni-light effect you'll see if ..let's use assassin's creed valhalla as the most recent example. Where thing in "shade" just look loving garbage?
Possibly. I don't know what's up with Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla, but it sure seems like the various shaders don't work unless there's a direct light source. In Odyssey, the shiny gold/bronze/etc. plate armor looks dull and drab, faces look like clay, etc. when there's no sun or moonlight. It's even worse in Valhalla mostly because ~England~ though it does look a lot more grody this time around.

In theory, ray tracing should fix that through global illumination: the simulation of all the indirect light that's bouncing around. The light rays from GI should be no different than the light rays from, say, the sun...just less intense. Ultimately, ray tracing in games should allow for far more light sources that affect the scene than are possible using previous lighting methods.

But as noted earlier in the thread, the game has to be programmed to support these features.

I'll be playing on a 580, but a 6770 which over compensates it in comparison. That should help compensate and get my don't decent framerate right?

Supet willing to gently caress around with overclocking etc as obviously the video card market is a bit of a mess at the moment. This is the first game I've seen in ages that's made me consider a bramd new generation of card which is impressive.

I dunno why I'd want to listen to someone on youtube drone on and on if they have an irritating speaking voice. It's not even a question of the randomness of what voice life has given you (I loving love Isaac Arthur) but the cadence and other factors they pick. They want to sound obnoxious. Also, he picked the cringe loving name Jimquisition and his whole stupid bit so I'm not gonna wade through it for someone who sometimes isn't wrong.

What do you mean by HDMI Plug in? I was planning on using GeForce now because the test I did with W3 played pretty good for me. Is there anything I should be aware about before grabbing it on steam vs PS4 Pro?

e: or is it just a reference to running it to your TV for couch play?

Yep just plugging it into the TV. For me I have a PC that would be fine, but I only have some old 1600x900 monitors. Otherwise it’s older laptops that are kind of a pita to setup and the MacBook for some reason never had an Ethernet cord. I also have an older IMac, which might be far better. I guess a part of it’s just being lazy lol.

That said Shield seems like it would just be a nice solution going forward and not be a huge cost. I just want to what people here who own one think. It would only be used for Cloud gaming and perhaps some apps that aren’t on the LG TV store.

Someone mentioned it earlier, but I forget the exact time. I feel like 5am Wednesday but I might be Wiley wrong.

I’d be concerned with it working, but it seems people did it for Black Ops less then a month ago.

Obviously, and he's distanced himself from that image in recent years. It was still offputting and arguably a reason to consider him a tool though! You can be a tool and not a chud.

Control is a nice showcase since it benefits from all the glossy marble flooring and glass windows of its weirdo-office environment so during combat you get to see the impressive reflections and illumination in action.

Compare that to like, BF5 or something.

im not reading all the pages i missed but im guessing its :spergin: about how the game isnt actually a buggy mess and the day 1 patch will fix everything and/or people arguing about trans stuff.

either way leaks show they fixed up a few things i was worried about and broke a few others so im optimistic for release day see u in the cyberverse or whatever

Yeah this is the most disappointing thing I've heard. Bugs can be patched but this sounds like a more elemental problem. Maybe they could patch it to be less egregious but it seems unlikely to get a lot of changes if they shipped in this shape knowing it would be under scrutiny.

Also that video's channel had lore videos but I didn't view them
