how much faster are we talking about? You mentiuoned the SEUS version barely ran 1080p60 with a 2080Ti. How fast is the new RTX version running?

Digital Foundry: Minecraft NEW Ray Tracing RTX Mode Hands-On And Tested In Depth!
- Thread starter ILikeFeet
- Start date
Anyone wanna put down some buckazoids for XBWhatever the fuck to include this as a launch title?
Microsoft officially confirmed they have hardware RT in the next xbox.
Nope, RTX should and will run way faster. PTGI uses shaders only, RTX uses RT cores + shaders.
You still need to consider:
1. What kind of hardware accelerated solution has AMD come up with in a short time, after Nvidia caught them completely off guard?
2. How much die space/budget can the consoles afford to give to this technology, versus Nvidia who doesn't have to care about such restraints?
Temper your expectations of what the consoles will be able to do here, until we learn more.
Funny thing is it doesn't look much better than other games that overdo this effect

I mean, I get preferring one over the other, but it's more a question of which looks more realistic. a trend I've seen is that people think the more faked effect looks more realistic simply because they can see more in darker areas.
I think it's gonna take some getting used to for some folks when devs go for a realistic look
But even then the outdoor lighting in general doesn't look very realistic.
The air has a heavy thickness to it, which I can understand in foggy weather but why does it look that way in clearer weather types as well? Why are the colours in shaded areas so overly desaturated? If your window is open during the morning and the sun is pouring in, do you see intense godrays filtering in like during the 17 minute mark?
Nvidia devs accidentally created a camera obscura in minecraft through the simulation of light with their ray tracing tech. (start at 7:14)
It was intentional, they told them to stop breaking the heart shape lights and walk behind the wall and they saw why.
The end of the video is incredible. This is going to be amazing to play with when it finally releases.

They mean when they were making the path tracer, they discovered they can create the effect, leading them to make that feature of the demo
I agree with this. It seems that people are just super hyped about next gen consoles without considering how it actually going to turn up. If we look at rtx gpu's, their dies are just massive. The dedicated ray tracing hardware takes up a lot of real estate of the die. It's why I am skeptical of the claims both console makers are making about ray tracing. I just don't expect to see any major hardware support for the price they are targeting.
Not to mention AMD is likely years behind Nvidia in regards to raytracing related R&D, and that's being generous. If these effect's are taxing 2080s today then I really don't see how AMDs solution (much less on consoles) can keep up.
I know this visual style doesn't seem to work for everyone based on some of these replies, but after watching the entire video last night I almost felt giddy. This convinced me to care about an RTX card when I upgrade my 1080 in the next year or so.
Playing Breath of the Wild through CEMU in 4K and tweaking all the foliage and item colors and shaders made it feel like brand new experience and blew me away. This looks like an entirely different level and being able to treat the use of light as a major design decision when building structures seems too exciting to pass up.

no character model in the footage ^^
just a floating arm, which reflects
Reminds me of old raytracing Quake 2 port where only your weapon with hand can be reflected 😁
Yeah :D That happens when you use the demo version of quake 2, since it did not ship with the player model :D
