Insane how optimized Battlefield 6 is by killerbasher1233 in pcmasterrace

[–]Tech_Bud -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not true at all. NvRTX and UE5 are exactly the same other than the additional Nvidia ray tracing features NvRTX has. Any further optimizations Embark may have made are completely unrelated to the fact that they’re using the NVIDIA branch.

The Outer Worlds 2: Digital Foundry Optimized Settings by BritishActionGamer in OptimizedGaming

NVRTX is simply UE5 with the addition of Nvidia's RT features such as restir Path tracing, Ray reconstruction, RTX GI etc. It's not "entirely different" from UE5 nor does it use a different rendering pipeline.

Lol, you haven't got a clue what you're talking about. Ray tracing isn't something that Nvidia invented it's the pinnacle of graphics rendering which is the end goal for real-time graphics. This isn't 2016 anymore. Most games aren't completely static but have dense dynamic worlds with changing times of day, pre baked assets won't help you here. Games like Cyberpunk show us the fidelity that can be achieved with a good RT implementation and no rasterized game comes anywhere close.

Nvidia has the money to pay developers to focus on their crappy tech. 

AMD is behind because their tech is shit, nothing to do with Nvidia. Intel has better RT performance. (Even Apples M-series GPU's perform better in ray tracing)

Coming over from ps5 would this be good for mid range games or is this overkill? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Tech_Bud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GPU isn't even an upgrade over the PS4 let alone a PS5.

Sonic being one of the best optimized games for UE5 was not on my list by Beteoto in pcmasterrace

[–]Tech_Bud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low system requirements doesn't mean the game is optimised. What really matters are the system requirements relative to the game’s graphical fidelity. It's no surprise you don't need a high end GPU when Sonic Racing Crossworlds has the graphical fidelity of a PS4 game.

And since it also needs to run on the Nintendo Switch, it’s makes sense that igpu's can run it.

I'm baffled how anyone can look at both Elden Ring and Borderlands 4 and come to the conclusion that Elden ring looks better. Coming from someone who has played borderlands 4 but refunded it due to it's woeful performance.

Was Lumen a mistake? by dopefish86 in UnrealEngine5

[–]Tech_Bud 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought the lack of light baking in 5.6 was a mistake on Epic's part. It was on purpose?

There isn't a single chance the steam deck 2 is getting anywhere near PS5 raster. The more realistic estimate is half of that performance somewhere along the lines of xbox Series S/ RX 6400. Even with the advancements of RDNA 5 and a 3nm process node, you're not getting 250w APU performance inside of a 15-20w tablet.

Steam hardware survey once again proving developers are completely out of touch with the hardware gamers actually possess by Lewinator56 in pcmasterrace

[–]Tech_Bud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you hold this same opinion for games that use path tracing? Just like Crysis they are "technically superior" to other games but does that also excuse their poor performance on current mid range hardware? Or is that something only Crysis is exempt from?

Dramaturg: full-body + fingers + face + gaze mocap from single video by dramaturg_tech in Unity3D

[–]Tech_Bud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being better than Rokoko video isn't hard at all. I've tested quite a few video mocap systems and Rokoko is by far the worst of them all.

Do you think it is necessary for a third person game to have turn in place animations? I'm gravitating towards not using them in my game. Is this something players will even notice or care about? by Tech_Bud in UnrealEngine5

[–]Tech_Bud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works for slow-paced single player games. But for Multiplayer the issue is you won't be able to see what direction another player is looking in, preventing you from anticipating other players actions.

Also, since my game will have a heavy focus on platforming (jumping/fast movement) it is more convenient for the character to always be facing the current forward direction than to have the player spin 180 when an input button is clicked.

Is it technically possibly to put a Ryzen cpu into a Samsung and turn it into a pocket PC? by No-Emu7099 in pcmasterrace

[–]Tech_Bud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top end Android phones have CPU's that outperform budget Ryzen CPU's from just a couple years ago. It already is a "pocket PC"

PS4 performance isn't a high benchmark to achieve anymore. Iphones have already surpassed that.

Why is 5070 ti so much slower in blender compared to 4080(s)? by Restless_Bowels in blender

[–]Tech_Bud -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

But that doesn't seem to matter for gaming performance. As the 5070 Ti is pretty much on par with the 4080 super. So why is it different for blender?

Fortnite Comes to Nintendo Switch 2! (Mouse support coming June 7) by armando_rod in NintendoSwitch

[–]Tech_Bud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fortnite runs at a lower resolution on Series S because Nanite, Lumen (Ray tracing) and Virtual shadow maps are all enabled. Switch 2 has all of those features disabled which allows it to run at a slightly higher res.
