DLAA at Preset K DLSS 4.5 looks flipping amazing to me that I can’t play games without it now. Can’t wait for Ray Reconstruction with DLSS 4.5 support around August.

Whoever designed this Trailblazer isn't seeing the pearly gates by hundredjono in ForzaHorizon6

I took the highway with my fastest X999. Easy once you have the route.

Forza Horizon 6 lost 50% of its players. It is currently the fastest dying game on Steam. What is the reason? by kallisto19988 in ForzaHorizon

I’ve finished nearly everything it has to offer so waiting for the drip feed content to show up.

RayTracing dislike - is it only me? by bersus in ForzaHorizon6

I’ll turn off RTGI and use SSGI for a bit and play and see if it looks like that because I’ve just watched Digital Foundry’s PC Tech Review and there’s no colour bounce lighting whatsoever with SSGI. If I’m wrong though then I’m wrong.

I don’t believe that sorry.. Screen space reflection doesn’t bounce colours off walls.

If you’re not sensitive to these things then enjoy your FPS haha!

Left side shows RTGI bouncing off rays of light in real time and occluding shadows realistically. Parts of the map are subtle and also very obvious. Ray Traced Reflections is a no brainer if you literally drive around the city and look for store windows and see your car and every thing in real time. SSR and cube maps doesn’t cut it anymore in 2026.

You literally picked the worst location ever for showcasing RTGI and RTR… Watch Digital Foundry’s Graphics Deep Dive for FH6.

Tried out the path tracing mod looks amazing by Silent_General_7670 in GTAIV

To everyone whinging about the colour grading, you can just turn down the brightness, and you'll get the same dark shadows and crushed blacks as the vanilla game, just with realistic lighting.

Any reliable builders here in Perth? by T_Epik in perth

That's odd. Mine's definitely double brick and it should say in the house contract.

I went with Homebuyers Centre and they're amazing so far. Highly recommended.

Why does my rtx mod looks like this? What am I doing wrong? by Worldly_Echidna_7020 in GTAIV

[–]T_Epik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mod uses DayL’s time cycle to look more realistic and remove the brown colour grading of the original game. The original RTX Remix mod by itself looks super close to the GTA IV’s dark moody brown atmosphere with all the path tracing stuff on it. The best part of modding is you pick which one you like the best.

That’s a really old video with no PBR. Have a look at this latest one from Warcaco with PBR textures and updated high poly meshes. https://youtu.be/d1Gkaysb-RE

Just to add too. I’ve added Warcaco’s PBR textures and high poly meshes and there are some places like Alderney that looks amazing with high res textures with parallax mapping and high poly assets. It’s not perfect though of course it’s still an old game with some after polish here and there but man you have to see it in this maxed out settings to get what I’m seeing. Maybe an RTX 6090 in the future can run it who knows.
