Wolfenstein: Youngblood RTX patch available now

Yeah as much as Ray tracing is impressive. Reflections in most games are way too pristine and perfect.

They should have just done a proper sale on Steam with the release of this patch. I have to assume plenty of RTX card owners would be willing to give this a shot at like $20.
From the footage I saw so far it looks like a very good implementation. I'll give it a whirl later.

what can i say...the Cyber-Nazists loves polishing their surrounding to a shine during their downtime.
Haven't got time to get actual numbers at the moment, but a quick run around in game it's suprisingly smooth. Having said that I'm not noticing a big change besides how reflective the glass is. It was already a pretty nice looking game.
Using a 2080, 1440p, everything on high/ultra
As impressive as this implementation of RTX is, it doesn't change the fact that Youngblood was a mediocre game through n' through.
2080Ti Sli here.
Looks good, but it keeps crashing within 5 minutes. I don't know what is doing this but the screen goes black and I have to hard restart my PC. I disabled one 2080 and I'm still getting the same problem.
Edit - 3rd time. Fuck this. Not playing it anymore.

From what I've seen, RT implementation is rather disappointing in what it adds in quality for its performance cost.
DLSS on the other hand is impressive, again. They've really improved it over the last several titles.

That's not true at all. Most reflective surfaces in RT mode of YB aren't mirror like. And windows are in fact mirror like in reality when they are reflective.
So I finally fixed my crashing issue with a clean install of drivers and replaced my PCI-E cables which fixed the issue
Basically from what I see a vast majority of surfaces are now reflective, walls, metal and even some vynil fabric now reflects. Note the reflections on the guns and body as well as the reflection in thes scope. Playing this at 5k on i9-9700 @ 5.3ghz 32gb Corsair ram @2100Mhz and 2xSLi MSi 2080Ti and it runs between 80-140fps.
The RTX looks better and runs better than BFVs implementation.

yeah. i was tempted to try this but every time i remember how much of a bummer youngblood is
IIRC diffuse reflections are actually much more computationally expensive
Wtf is up with that 2060 result? The without dlss seems way too low compared to the other cards.
Not sure I care for how reflective some of those surfaces are, those windows must be extraordinarily clean! On another note, the trailer made the game look insanely fun, I just wish they had dropped the bullet sponge enemy types and RPG mechanics, they have no place in a game like Wolf in my opinion.
Probably running into VRAM limits.
I tried this yesterday and it's pretty crazy seeing RT effects so effortlessly rendered with DLSS on. The level I played ran at a around 100 FPS constantly at 4K.
6GB VRAM isn't quite enough for max settings + RTX at native 1080p:
This isn't an issue at 1080p via DLSS as the game is rendering internally at 720p.
Edit: Clarity, and added the correct screenshot.

How can they measure 9.6GB of VRAM usage on a 6GB GPU, lol. Normally they should be having 6GB for all resolutions as the game would simply fill it. Those RTX2060 numbers are suspicious to say the least (especially since, according to the graph, the RTX2060 suddenly "requires" more VRAM than the RTX2080Ti. This shouldn't be happening).
Edit: Apparently, and after reading their article, this graph is for the RAM usage of the entire system, not for VRAM. Here is the right graph.

Is there an actual complete list of RTX compatible titles outside of the "big" ones everyone knows about, which also added after the fact patches like this? Yesterday I found out (va AGDQ of all things) that even indies like Amid Evil got Raytracing patches for RTX but I never saw it on any list.
There is a command in this game to "suppress" raytracing and you can bind it to a key in the console. So even though it seems "comparison-unfriendly" at first (due to the fact that it asks you to restart the game when changing the setting), it is actually the first game that ships with an option to turn off raytracing via key press to my knowledge.
Just do "bind *key* r_suppressraytracing 0" and "bind *key* r_suppressraytracing 1". Toggle doesn't seem to be working.
Also make sure to not have it off during level transitions or else you get broken reflections when you load into the new map.

Got the Bethesda PC key from Nvidia bundle, $10 if anyone wants ray-traced mediocrity ;)

id's been a dev hell team since idTech1. It's probably company policy.
I know this was delayed 6 months, but at least it performs better than DICEs 2 week effort at the last second for BFV. When you get frame rates above 100fps on a 2070 while having more reflective objects, it makes me wonder how badly cobbled together BFVs RT was implemented.
Then again this is literally lipstick on a pig.

Anything which is absent from console h/w is usually patched in at some later date. Doesn't mean anything about the tech.
It's a cool implementation for sure, but that's a bit unfair on DICE I think. They were in dev before BFV came out, we saw it months before launch, and it was a trailblazing title in that regard. It was always going to be the case that later implementations would be more performant.
I feel like reflections are the least important thing to use RTX for. Dying Light 2 will be using it for lighting like Metro and Control. That's the next one to really showcase why RTX is great.
Yeah, not interested in returning to it for any reason. The pics and footage look nice though!
First game is on an old ass engine. Second game didn't sell too hot so doubt they will go back and patch it. DLSS is the only way my 2080 can hold 60fps with rtx on and everything maxed out @4k. Dynamic res + vrs can't keep up with the performance hit. Overall with free style sharpening+ DLSS, the game looks rather good.
It was nvidia sponsored, probably part of the deal. Wolf 2 had VRS patched in later which I'm sure has something to do with it. The rtx implementation for this probably also carry over to doom eternal, although that's a newer version of the engine. I just hope it is shipped with rtx.
Oh, maybe now I'll try it again, got it free with my laptop
What is DLSS? I can't select it? Maybe I need new drivers first
I'll try tomorrow now that I updated the drivers

Being the first game to ship with DXR support, and being a 64 players multiplayer open world game with dynamic destruction, I'll take that as a complement. :)
