Alright! Bring it on, great work! More of this and we will finally have some really innovative times ahead!
Can't wait for some benchmark to be run with this way of doing Ray Tracing 😀
Undying
So Unreal and now Cryengine can both support raytracing without the need of a rt cores?
Wtf nvidia?

Why is this surprising? RT cores accelerate BVH traversal. BVH was utilized prior to RT cores. It's not like they brought some new technology to the fold they just accelerate an existing data structure.
Also FWIW this implementation uses SVOGI and not DXR at all.
What's funny is that the technique (SVOGI) was created by Cyril Crassin from Nvidia. It was originally going to be used as UE4's default lighting technique but got scrapped due to the performance requirements.

RT cores offload the workload from the GPU, which can still help. Problem is doesn't seem like RT cores can keep up with the main GPU cores...

I'm merely surprised by this happening so fast to be honest. But I like it!

Crysis 4 :P
Strange Times
atleast nvidia did their job by punching game industry in right way
Undying
They do. Hunt Showdown is very underrated game. You should try it.

Punching what? There where people experimenting with raytracing way before it was a thing. I'd rather see proper collision detection, AI and more interaction in games before we get to raytracing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Real Time Ray Tracing is not something only Tensor, or Turing cores can do.
All other cores can do it, but not nearly as effective.
So the real question is, if Real Time Ray Tracing was implemented on most games tomorrow, would it actually be worth paying extra for Real Time Ray Tracing specific cores?
A comparison between an RTX 2060 and a Vega 56 on the above demo would probably provide some answers.

Yeah, and it got a huge update not long ago, looks like its getting to final rls soon, they are promissing xbox1 rls in spring Q1 2019

lol with what's happening in the news the last 1-2 years it's gotta suck to be 1.) INTEL customer, 2.) NVidia customer, 3.) a Democrat.

UNREAL ENGINE 4.21.2 , been out for a while,UE4 has been integrating ray
tracing for quite some time — this functionality isn’t dropping in out
of the blue .

Wouldn't be surprised , if Metro Exodus gets this down the road.

Very Very impressive Reflections here.
On vega 56?? WOW, Prettie darn impressed here, thought it would run ALOT slower.
Does anyone knows what internal resolution was used in this demo??
Amazing Reflections, GOOD JOB!!
mikeysg
ALRIGHT! My Vega 64's and VEGA II are so ready for this! Bring it on!!!:D

Looks even better than Nvidias RTX in Metro and BFV if you ask me.

Looks like a city from cyberpunk 2077??
Only if we could get our hands on this demo 🙁

Wish it was downloadable.

There should be more information coming out next week at GDC 2019. Shows promise but will be interesting once more details are know.
