AMD RDNA 2 Microsoft DirectX Raytracing (DXR) Demo

If you ever needed to see proof that content( art ) is king this is exactly that.
Obviously it's better when both art and tech are in sync but this is not it lol.

lol, pretty much
On the one hand, I love it because it reminds me of all those dumb cgi renders they used to put on boxes of video cards.
On the other hand, they should have made something that looked like an actual game or something. I get they want to go crazy showing off the effects but nobody is going to care if it is too ugly to watch.
Exactly!

Other then the obvious raytracing elements, not impressed at all. Looks like a tech demo from like 2008 or so.
it reminds me cgi effects from The Lawnmower Man movie
oh yeah, pretty much this :)

Hah I saw your post. Same idea, separated by a few seconds :p
It looks so damn ugly. At least it shows reflections I guess? It really reminds me of 90s shitty CGI movies. Apart form the reflections, everything else looks awful.
That looked awful. I'm still not convinced by far tracing.
Nothing I've seen so far looks significantly better than what we already have.
It all looks too wet or overly shiny and plastic y.
I'm sure eventually there will be something that looks great to me but so far I think it's a waste.

Not really.
They're available on Nvidia Turing and up, and AMD RDNA2 and up.
Yeah that demo made me not care about RT. Really really bad art style that just distracts you from the actual tech.
Hopefully people don't take this as what consoles will be able to churn out. They'll start to think that in order to have RT, graphics are gonna take a nose dive into 90s cgi.

just got to that part in the stream. RDNA1 seems like a bad investment now
They're RDNA2. Mesh shaders, for one, were talked about at the PS5 deep dive yesterday also.
AO, Reflections and shadows. I guess that explains that wonky performance in the video. A good amount of RT there.
Showing a demo with massive aliasing on edgy surfaces and ridiculously bad texture filtering doesn't really give much confidence in the underlying tech.
Honestly very underwhelmed like all the raytracing seen so far. The only demo I've been impressed with so far is the Starwars demo.
youtube should have the video of the guy explaining what we are seeing in the video and how it isnt possible previously. good stuff for a developer
