@Dachsjaeger Devs still aren't collecting and including PSO caches.
English
I am cursed - I can literally see the shader compilation stutter in Unreal Engine game trailers. IN THEIR TRAILERS.
English
@Sebasti66855537 @Dachsjaeger I thought Nanite doesn't use mesh shaders, but the only in-depth writeup of it I know is from 2022. Also PSO caching improvements are nice but game devs aren't usually doing it at all from what I can see.
English
@Dachsjaeger These are definitely some nice improvements. One can only hope that developers actually incorporate them in their projects. The addition of tier 2 VRS is welcome, but I'm disappointed to see that mesh shaders & sampler feedback are still not officially supported by UE5.2.

Game programmers always think they're smarter than everyone else, yet their creations are the most broken abominations of software I've ever worked on or used. And one recent release is a great example.

std::filesystem throws exceptions with no way to disable them? Does the C++ committee know that games disable RTTI and exceptions?

This thread blew up, and defending the obvious technical qualities of Doom Eternal is giving me the easiest owns in years. Apparently, many gamers butthurt that idTech7 still humiliates almost everything else; claiming it's so fast mostly because it's simple/dumb/small WTF.

@antdavis1986 Also: "maps not complex" ROFL. Each Mission is a huge contiguous map. No closed doors or "squeeze through narrow passage" tricks. The SIGGRAPH deck has lots of detail on traversal. This game has 100% smooth traversal because those people can code, not because it's simple/small.

For open-world with lots of vegetation, pay attention to leaves with masked/transparent materials as raytracing is more costly with such materials. Optimize it by tweaking the topology to make polygons fitting the mask as much as possible

@ethanh762287 @CapFrameX It runs on RT cores and uses DirectX ray tracing here.
English
@CapFrameX Interested to know how it runs at all, given its using Nvidias new rtxdi / restir which is for cuda? Correct me if I'm mistaken
English
@Kevboard_Arts @CapFrameX There's a miscommunication here, since the 7900 XTX is way faster than the 3060 Ti in RT
English
@ChasersFrame lol what. V-Cache FPS boost doesn't come at a huge latency penalty like frame gen (which I find useful outside of fast twitch games).
English
There is real FPS, and then there is vcache FPS. It’s almost as useless as nvidia’s fake frame generation

I'm so excited to announce my newest project,
Wolf PT: A real-time path tracer for Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Based on iortcw with a custom DX12 backend. It's still very early in development, so here's a few comparison shots. Expect more soon!

@ayxerious Good, an OpenGL game is a deciding factor in my next GPU purchase
English
@FPSthetics Some of those games like the Thiefs and System Shock 1 don't have RPG elements, which are usually said to be a requirement for this "genre." Most agree Dishonored is pretty weak with this criteria.

@ColbyCovMMA After the Mas fight, call out Khamzat for being a Russian supporter

@That_NerdVFX @microcenter According to Minecraft RTX system requirements, ray tracing does work on RX 6000 series.

@JonnyBones You got one part of that wrong pal, he only grew one breast.
English
1. Dye my hair pink
2. Grow a pair of breasts
3. Convince the world Jon Jones is jealous even though he’s undefeated, incredibly successful and the youngest champion in the sports history.
4. Mentioned Jon Jones in all interviews but avoid fighting him at all costs
English
So much for the early Christmas present. This is exactly why I just let them light heavyweight do all the talking.
