AMD RDNA 2 Microsoft DirectX Raytracing (DXR) Demo

- Start date
I liked Nvidia's Star Wars demo a lot more.
EDIT:
EDIT:
Photorealistic realism? Is it 2003 again? Because this looks like something from Spy Kids 3D.AMD said:

Yeah, perhaps something more tasteful would have better impact, but I guess they show what they wanted to show.
It looks like a showreel from the early days of CGI.
RT reflections there for sure. I wonder if the shadows are RT, really hard to tell with that 1080p 60 vid feed on yt!
Would love to know the actual GPU this ran on!
Hah yeah, but it is just there to show off a feature. I won't slight them too much for making it look like this.
Although I wonder why they did not just show off one of the benchmark titles we have. That would be ultra convincing.

it looks like it was hurriedly put together. I've seen better.
Man that looked really shitty lol. All those reflections were impressive but that didn't look good at all.
And this is the problem with people not understanding the difference between art style and technical achievement.
It's almost like they were trying to show off the reflections or something.
It's like old noughties GPU tech showcases, poor character design and everything. It showed off reflections pretty well I guess.
They were showing off reflections there (and maybe shadows?) - they could have just shown off BFV or Control. Or heck, the 3d mark DXR benchmark - which is actually a very pretty demo while showing off a lot of rt.
Yeah.
if anything, it shows that if you don't have good art in conjunction with good tech, it don't mean shit
I stated that the reflections were impressive didn't I? I completely understand the purpose of this video. Doesn't make it look less shitty though.

well everybody under the sun knew the ruby demos were shit too
I mean, I find the tech impressive. Don't confuse my criticisms about the demo with not understanding the tech, but NVidia made a much more attractive demo that showed off reflections as well. I'm just saying that its not a atheistically pleasing demo to watch (and I know Microsoft can do them, like the Xbox One X demo Insects that showed off 4K, HDR, and spatial audio).
In a weird way I love how bad it looks? Like the ray tracing tech is cool, but it's like someone threw a budget at 90s graphics card box art and I love it.
technically, it's impressive with all the reflections and what not.
aesthetically, it looks like we were warmed into a caprisun factory. definitely needs better art design here. lol
