Very few games have implemented raytracing
- mcraiha 6y agoBut since both PS5 and Xbox Series X support ray tracing, there will be many upcoming PC games that support it too. You want a future proof GPU when you spend over 500 dollars to it.
- leetcrew 6y agoimo "future proofing" doesn't really make from a price/perf perspective, especially for something so easily replaced as a desktop GPU. by the time the cool new feature goes mainstream, that high end GPU you bought probably needs to run everything on medium anyway. I expect the RTX 2000 series will age very poorly. a better approach is to aim for the price/perf sweetspot for a target resolution and upgrade often. I bought a 1080 TI more because I could than because it made sense.
- doublepg23 6y agoAren't both of those going to be using the same AMD ray tracing tech?
- oulu2006 6y agoThat's what I was thinking, seems a little odd that ray tracing can be significantly behind when both those consoles use AMD tech to implement their ray tracing capabilities.
- zamadatix 6y agoI wouldn't expect ray tracing on the consoles to be better than Nvidia 2xxx ray tracing performance and that was only useful as a small gimmick just to put the "ray tracing" label on a game or a couple decent effects but at 30 FPS. I'm not even sure the 3xxx does ray tracing well enough to be worth it and it's ~2x the performance level. I.e. just because games on the consoles can support ray tracing now doesn't mean they actually support it well. I still think it's a generation or 2 away from running well (as a current 2080 Ti owner)
- snvzz 6y agoAs these consoles use AMD hardware, future-proof means AMD hardware. The hardware these console games are made for.
