An experienced graphics developer with knowledge of raytracing and existing hardware can actually guess quite a bit of what's going on.
Plus most of the graphics developers target of this presentation already have access to the documentation, if not the hardware as well.
I think ppl are just reading way more than they should into this. Just like yesterday's presentation from Sony.
Because one thing is to read the doc, another is to actually see the hw in action?
This is a little showcase for ppl that don't have yet access to the hardware.
It's not eye candy for the consumer, it's a recording of a stress demo likely built for internal benchmarks and testing, that they decided to show to the public anyway, as a visual side to the technical presentation.
There's plenty of technical videos from Nvidia showcasing new features that are even shittier than this. And yet they do a good job at conveying the information they need to convey at the their target.
I mean, it's absolutely fine to not be interested in what's shown. This just has a very specific target and reason to exists.
It's like being a graphics developer and be disappointed at the lack of depth in a youtube video like DF.
The target is completely different. They're videos made by journalists targeting enthusiast consumers, and they do a fine job at that.
Sure but these videos are marketing material to sell the newly released GPUs. This video by AMD is not made by the marketing department, is a visual side to the technical presentation.
Do you think when the hardware actually ships AMD won't have something more appealing to the customers, between tech demos and games?
And still, we're talking of AMD. Their marketing budget is probably less than a tenth of Nvidia anyway lol.
