    What do gamers actually think about Ray-Tracing?

    Sometimes it's just straight awful unfortunately. This can't help how (poorly) it's perceived.

    AMD's FSR3 possibly next month ?

    From the GDC presentation (w/ Massive) it sounds to me like they're going to up the performance cost for FSR upscaling, ala XeSS DP4A. Perhaps they will autodetect the GPU and choose a new path based on that (sort of like how they do it already for Polaris, or consoles - all different paths)...

    Is it worth upgrading from a 6800XT yet?

    It's worth upgrading to a 4090. ;) But from RDNA 2 to RDNA 3 it's a complete miss (worst of all - RDNA 4 sounds like it will be the same).

    DLSS Momentum Continues: 50 Released and Upcoming DLSS 3 Games, Over 250 DLSS Games and Creative Apps Available Now

    @Narj Here's a crazy suggestion to try out. I actually play on my TV and close to it, and for Cyberpunk I actually like doing either UW (3840x1620) or SUW (3840x1350), mostly the latter lately but at 85 FOV instead of the usual 100 for UW or 16:9... but here's the trick - not with black bars but...

    DLSS Momentum Continues: 50 Released and Upcoming DLSS 3 Games, Over 250 DLSS Games and Creative Apps Available Now

    What's your system and resolution/hz? Tbh if you're doing PT then that must mean you're on Nvidia, so nothing beats DLSS. With PT (or RT) there's also not much you can do to really "optimise" it further, outside of mods, mostly just setting volumetric clouds & fog to medium, or turning down...

    DLSS Momentum Continues: 50 Released and Upcoming DLSS 3 Games, Over 250 DLSS Games and Creative Apps Available Now

    @mrk You would have done better to read again for comprehension. I explicitly talked about issues in motion. Who even tests static scenes with TAAUs? Completely pointless. How FSR is superior to XeSS to how it handles vegetation [for this one wait for 4K to process, can't see it otherwise - or...

    DLSS Momentum Continues: 50 Released and Upcoming DLSS 3 Games, Over 250 DLSS Games and Creative Apps Available Now

    Incorrect. It doesn't. It has different trade-offs in terms of ghosting vs shimmering (as well as different artifacts/visual bugs - f.ex. been testing Cyberpunk again lately and spent considerable time with XeSS and saw visual glitches that simply aren't there with FSR, such as rain puddles...

    *** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

    Interestingly, looking at the PS5 Pro leaks, if we take them for granted then it would put that mix of RDNA in terms of RT performance on par with Ampere if not slightly better. Looking at the old DF video of RT - 6800 XT vs 3080, we see that a 2-4x RT increase would have made the 6800 XT either...

    DLSS Momentum Continues: 50 Released and Upcoming DLSS 3 Games, Over 250 DLSS Games and Creative Apps Available Now

    The issue is all these reviewers are completely clueless and just yap stupidly & incessantly. Ofc FSR hasn't seen improvements... because there's no improvements to be had. It is the best vendor-agnostic TAAU solution available already, and where it is aced it is done so through a LOT of...

    *** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

    Like it's been clear for years now, they're not doing anything other than incremental upgrades on RDNA 2 until they need to do a major overhaul -> for next-gen consoles. So don't expect anything worth seeing until 2026+ at at the earliest. If you care about RT, VR, or AA quality (incl upscaling)...

    Advice needed on a new card for £600

    Normally I'd say the 4070 Super, but looks like 7800 XT is £480, which is a way easier recommendation. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapphire-radeon-rx-7800-xt-gaming-16gb-gddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gra-spr-00763.html

    RX 7600XT 16GB Launched.

    You can very, very quickly run out of VRAM even at this performance level. Was messing around with CP2077 again after a long hiatus yesterday and game quickly blew past 12 GB (4K (also less, like 3840x 1620-1350 etc.)/FSR 2 on - various quality levels), even with RT off. Now add in a decent...

    How do you game? Upscaling or native? (updated poll choices - 24/12, revote!)

    Honestly, even when I have the performance for native I usually still go for upscaling (even RSR/FSR1) just because the power savings make me feel all warm and fuzzy. Obviously if the image quality is complete crap then I'll stick to native but on a 4K 65" display most everything looks good even...

    The RT Related Games, Benchmarks, Software, Etc Thread.

    It's interesting seeing how little difference RT made in D4, then again it was always going to be slapping on lipstick on a turd. (yes, yes, I couldn't help myself D4 bad reeeeeee). :P Chad programmer @ GGG long ago innovated a better solution (visuals/performance) based on the benefit of a...

    RX 7600XT 16GB Launched.

    Time to bring this meme out of retirement, now for 4060/Ti vs 7600 XT (RIP 3080 vs 6800 XT rivalry):

    Release dates for the super cards

    This is incorrect. Furthermore, every issue you see in the PC version exists in the console version as well - except you don't even have the choice to brute force it away (if possible) or fix it through user fixes/mods etc. If you're hoping moving to a console is going to give you some kind of...

    Release dates for the super cards

    Huh? With the exception of RT, your 1080 Ti is still at least on par with the PS5 GPU. If anything it just shows how great value PC really is. If you got it on release you had top tier performance (far above the PS4/XB1) for 3 years before the new consoles, then another 7-8 years (assuming it...

    Cheapest Gaming GPU for 4K 60FPS

    Which FPS games? Settings expectations etc. Too little info.

    Which card to upgrade too - Do I stick with Nvidia...

    By regular RT I meant as opposed to PT (because the game allows both), not a judgement on quality. Personally I don't agree that RT isn't worth the performance hit for lower GPUs because I use it plenty with my RX 6800, but I'd agree that during gameplay its worth is quite subjective...
