Seems like the new cards only limit eth and nothing else.

Gg nvidia!

The 3080ti for example, does around 240mhs mining Ergo. As a reference, the 3070 does 170... and that algo is limited on the 3060...

A waste of tech due to Nvidia releasing it far too early. They should have kept working on the tech for a couple of more years instead of deciding to slap them onto the 20x0 series when the tech clearly wasn't in a satisfactory state. Epic have worked quite a while on their Lumen engine and it's producing very good results without the need for specialized hardware like RT cores.

Quote:
Lumen is the default global illumination and reflections system in Unreal Engine 5. It renders diffuse interreflection with infinite bounces and indirect specular reflections in large, detailed environments at scales ranging from millimeters to kilometers.

Lumen can still use Hardware Raytracing through DXR which just uses the RT cores on Nvidia GPUs.

They raytrace the edges of the screen and off-screen stuff and use screen space for the rest.

The quality is still not as good as RT on the accumulation

It is when you up the settings, but then it runs just as bad as RT (on software).

Kinda defeating the purpose. Lumen is super heavy on the GPU.


You're not gonna kill the "ray-tracing gimmick' by still partially using raytracing and inferior screen-space reflections for the rest.

That's just a middle ground to improve performance if you don't have dedicated hardware for it.

Ray-tracing isn't going anywhere. Heavy implenetation on the new consoles is only gonna spread this "gimmick".

The only scam here is the lie you tell yourself every morning when you wake up.

You annoyed?

I hold BTC, and could also use a GPU for gaming.
If you're looking for a GPU at a reasonable price, it would be unwise to not check GPU prices in the secondary markets when the crypto markets fall.

Crypto market isn't falling. It quickly spiked in April/ May a day then dropped back to its normal ceiling and has been stable since. Second hand cards are bought off immediately by miners.

PA tend to throw some abrasive one-liners around that are seemingly based on emotions and not logic/intellect. Razz

The PS5 and Xbox Series X use AMD SoC's, right? Afaik there's no RT hardware in those consoles and it's up to the developers to implement a software ray tracing system since there's apparently no way to enable it on a system level.

Anyway, Ray Tracing isn't a gimmick but it's still immature and too costly to implement properly. We're years away from RT implementations that will become brand agnostic and ubiquitous for gaming. If I were to predict where things were going I'd say future GPU architectures will adapt the general cores to also deal efficiently with ray tracing tasks as well as the geometry etc. or alternatively having smaller, faster and more efficient RT hardware become part of each GPU core with equally fast access to cache, buffers, VRAM etc.

I believe that's the approach AMD is taking as opposed to Nvidia's current typical proprietary business model which has made life more difficult for both consumers and developers for years and years.

And besides all that, wasn't UE4 used in a fraction of games when compared to UE3 anyway? UE5 will probably go down the same route.

it's a possibility. of course it's also because of corona, just like the last year already. there were no games and if there were games then they were mostly shit, because they couldn't work like before, so everything is getting pushed back.

but for example: sony is releasing gran turismo 7 for ps4 now, even tho it was announced as an ps5 exclusive. there is no other reason then getting more sales. they know exactly why they do that. cause they want those sales and they are not getting even near that right now with just the ps5.
yes it's their best sold console ever (or fastest) but that doesn't matter if a lot of those sold consoles sit in a warehouse or so, because people buy them and then try to resell instead of using them.

imaging buying the newest consoles or graphics cards right now. there is no reason at all, except you want to resell it. im so happy i ditched the 499 euro 3070, because even at that price it wouldn't be worth it for me anymore. i just wanted it because i wanted it and not because i needed it. just got a 40 euro ps3 and replay all the good games from the last 10 years for free. i don't know when i had this much fun on a pc last time.

In fact that can be one of the reasons. Why bother releasing something, people cannot play ie. wont buy at the release -> all the hype goes down the toilet. I'm sure CD Projekt would be much happier if the game was pushed for a year or something. Yes they sold some copies but in general the release was/still is a disaster.

Afaik Microsoft and Sony sourced big batches their main components early on compared to the typical OEM/Intel/NV/AMD model where they have to wait for the foundries to manufacture new designs. Unfortunately even the console makers couldn't foresee the difficulties that would arise and are now suffering from component shortages as well.

Every forecast says things should be back to normal in 2022 unless things go sideways again (ie. some new strain/variant pops up that makes all the vaccines totally useless and infects even more people faster with a more severe outcome).

We'll see. As for UE5 not being used, we'll see about that as well. I believe it will be used when it's ready. It'll be used by higher end developers and since the games takes years to finish we'll see the first full UE5 games around 2023 or so. There's always a time lag from when a game engine is completed to the first game (somewhat big game) that use it is released simply due to the time it takes to develop a game.
