NVIDIA has released two new RTX demo videos showcasing the latest technology. In the first video, an Unreal Engine 4 attic scene is used with the ability to toggle on and off ray-traced reflections, shadows and translucency to see the impact the features have on the scene. You can also see how RTX Global Illumination adds dynamic range to the scene with multi-bounce indirect lighting. Finally, they demonstrate how DLSS can be used to boost the frame-rate while maintaining a high resolution. As well as the video, can download the demo as a standalone application from the NVIDIA developers website.
In the second video, we are shown a demonstration of RTX Direst Illumination as it casts realistic lighting in dynamic scenes that require computing shadows from millions of area lights. Until recently, this hasn’t been possible in video games in real-time.
If only I could find an actual RTX video card…
Sad but true. I wanted to help piece together a game rig for my nephew for x-mas. Sourcing parts just became a huge pain, and the only way we could find a 2070 at the time was to just go to Best Buy and buy an HP or Dell “game rig”. I normally wouldn’t do that, but it was actually cheaper than building it.
Worst demo ever.
Indeed do not seem big in quality
Following news daily on the hardware crisis.
No mainstream RTX cards availability till the end of 2021 so… looks good, we will see next year.
Also turning off comments on Youtube is not classy Nvidia.
These Rtx cards are no longer just graphics cards, they are now money printing machines.. so it’s pretty clear what’s actually going on in the market
yeah, the crypto revolution made me question what I am doing with computer hardware too. But as far as I can see, it is too late in the game for individuals to make profit using single outdated graphic cards.
Human greed: wasting a resource instead of allowing people to do something productive with it. POW crypto is a dampener for human progress.
You have to wonder though what will happen to crypto once the limit is reached… it was designed to be used as ‘money’ but everyone uses it as an investment… I think its not going to end well…
Not all crypto has a finite amount to be mined. Ethereum for example, which is more actively used than Bitcoin. It’s still scary territory though.
