@@RicochetForce There's also software improvements to take into account. For instance, according to Epic, hardware Lumen performance is almost doubled in UE 5.4 (give or take, depending on the scene), and Microsoft is patenting an upcoming LoD solution for ray tracing. Combine that with the massive improvements in FSR and PSSR we'll likely be seeing in the "RDNA 5" generation (might be post-RDNA at that point) as well as AMD's track record of transitioning to a much more performant microarchitecture every console generation, and I don't think path traced 4K30 with an 1800p internal resolution would be far-fetched in next-gen consoles. Especially when you take into account that, although the current RDNA 2 in consoles does support RT, the architecture itself is not all that optimised for RT, so there's a huge potential waiting to be tapped on both the hardware and software sides.

Agreed! I'd say that the first example at 1:32 also shows it off incredibly well. It also shows how better lighting leads to dramatically better looking materials.

the bottle on the ground goes from 2005 to photorealism

No realism here. U cant interact any of these objects on the ground. Realism is not just lights and shadows....

Fantastic! it really looks terrific and would near perfection with a denoiser

Deffo breaks the illusion, I’m looking fwd to the next Witcher in this regard……. Although I might be waiting till a 8090 turns up for all I know.😂

The first thing I saw was that horrible film grain. It looks worse like this, I cannot ignore that noise :)))))

ReSTIR would solve the indoor hanging candle problem and perform much better but as much as I love and consider it extremely clever algorithm it will introduce a bias, I'm curious about what simply a good denoiser would make it look

@@Stef3m what kind of bias do you mean? Funnily enough this seems to be an unbiased path tracer, you can improve visuals and performance drastically by making it biased, nvidia is doing this with their engines, presumably also CP2077

Now that's a name i haven't heard in a long time.

That engine has roots in the ps3era, it has been barely upgraded for the RE games but shows it's limits in open and dense environments. I wish they either picked another graphics engine or reworked the internals to scale better with more powerful hardware as it's very likely that the next Monster Hunter game will also have the same issues.

@@TheSliderW Yeah and let's not forget the horrible SSR as well

@@OshMMf Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think SSR is usually horrible unless it's backed up with a half decent cubemap. Seeing reflections gradually become occluded as the object casting them moves off-screen is just really distracting to me. And obviously the bigger the reflection is the worse that gets. Screen space ambient occlusion, shadows and global illumination are not so bad, their occlusion is usually less jarring imo.

you can set shadows to max on pc and that fixes that

Haven't had any issues with shadows, but then of course I have them maxed out. Using 4k interlaced makes them flicker like hell, FSR3 at balanced seems to fix them though.

Yeah... Idk if my eyes are broken or if everyone is smoking something but to me this looks like shit in its current state.

@@FaultyTable I guess it helps if you are only watching it on a phone, pausing the video to see the details, or they show the best case scenarios, but for the rest of us that have keen for details, you can see the noise for sure, especially when Alex zoom in a lot.

​@@FaultyTabledo you mean the noise? Because I think the general improvements to lighting quality are massive. The denoising could be fixed through NRD or RR. As well as smarter sampling through ReSTIR. This would improve performance AND quality.

The noise can be fixed just by actually using a denoiser. Path tracing isn't using denoising at all here, even just routing the path tracer output through the A-SVGF denoiser would massively help at the cost of killing a bit of detail. That's where DLSS RR, NRD and ReSTIR would come in as the former is generally a better denoiser and the latter two help clean up noise before lighting even goes through the denoiser.

How is the combat?

​@@usergk71personally I'm quite enjoying it. It varies quite a bit depending on which vocation you choose, mage and sorcerer feel different to the archers, which feel different to the melee builds, so there's bound to be at least one you enjoy. A lot of them also have some really good parries, fighter can parry with their shield, warrior can parry by attacking at the same time as the enemy, thief has a parry special ability, and mystic spear hand can go full Vergil, dodge an attack while leaving a cheeky little after image, only to reappear above the enemy and come down hard with a helm splitter. I love a good parry and can confirm, this game has them. The boss fights are plentiful and can feel very Shadow of the Colossus-esque, with you climbing on enemies to stab them in their weak spot. Leveling up your character and your combat class turns you into an absolute powerhouse, with endgame abilities being ridiculously OP in a fun way. And if you're not a fan of a particular fighting style it's super easy to switch to a different one at a vocation guild. There's a lot of exploration in the game, and a good chunk of that exploration is rewarded with more combat. Like, "oh hey, a cave! Let's see what's inside! Oh, it's a chimera for me to fight, neat!"

it would be playable even on a 4080 if it had a denoiser and frame gen. The denoiser, as frame gen, on RTX is part of the optical flow and does not compete with reources on the GPU, and frame gen is good for these kinds of slower games even if the base framerate is under 60., And of course with dlss 3.5 they could use ray reconstruction to recoup some quality and get more performance. CP2077 does it with much more complex geometry and much more reflections, so why not dogma? Capcom doesnt want to spend resources on a few % of players that own high end gpus :P I guess we will see stuff like this only when Nvidia sponsors the game or when capable RTX gpus are the norm.

@@marsovacyou will get really noticeable artifacts with a base framerate under 60.

@@jose131991 I don't in cyberpunk. I use it there to get to 70-80FPS, with a base around 40 and something. WIthout it Path tracing is not playable on the 4080 even with agressive DLSS. But it might depend on the game and the implementation I guess. If you play with a controller it works much better I feel, since you cant do abrupt scene changes.

@@jose131991 Not really, even a 4090 struggles to keep a base of 60 in cyberpunk btw Base framerates of 40-45 still work just fine

​@@redtro8678really depends on the resolution. With dlss performance I'm always above base 60fps on a 4090 even in the most demanding areas like the Dogtown market. At least in the current version of the game. Though I prefer to play at 4k dlss balanced.

Ray reconstruction looks fucking terrible, a perfect example of this is the faces on cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing and ray reconstruction on it looks so bad

@@RicochetForcewrong.. I agree with the other guy path tracing / ray reconstruction in Cyberpunk literally looks horrible in some areas. Like PS2-grade shadows and fuzziness everywhere (I have an RTX 4090 btw). And no, its not because of DLSS or Frame Gen, I play all of my games in DLSS-Q or DLAA and I always turn on FG if a game supports FG. I cannot tell the difference between 4K native and 4K DLSS-Q in any game I play…So what makes CP2077 so blurry and soupy? Its either the path tracing itself, or the RR…

@@stianlavender1683 pretty sure it's because CP2077 path tracing uses very few bounces.

​​​@@RicochetForceI don't think it looks terrible but I also wouldn't say it's an outright upgrade over the conventional denoiser. It does some things better, a lot of fine lighting detail is reconstructed more believably and reflections look a lot sharper, but it still has that oil painting look, buries a lot of detail, oversharpenening issues around edges and kinda falls apart in motion, even with the most recent DLLs. It is of course better than having no denoiser like in this mod and adding more options (within reason) is a good thing but it still has issues.

Baked lighting is what makes old(er) games like the original The Last of Us and The Order 1886 look so beautiful even today. Most games that do not have a dynamic time of day/weather system could use baked lighting for static light sources. They'd still need to use proper shadow maps (or simple RT shadows) for dynamic objects (like the player character, for example). Also, baked lighting does not work well with specular surfaces, sadly - you need real time solutions for those.

Baked ligts and shadows looks great but the limitation is that they work well in static environments. The moment the light source is movable it wouldn't work.... sun changing position in the sky for example.

@@tyrus1235 Yeah The Order 1886 looks like it could be a PS5 game. Especially if you boosted it to 4k60. (And, you know, finish the rest of the game since it's basically a 4 hour tech demo).

It is not possible to bake an equivalent of path traced lighting. Particularly for materials that are both diffuse and specular there are no know algorithms to do that properly. For those you need to solve the rendering equation on the fly, for which path tracing is currently the most performant way.

Baked lighting isn't possible if you have dynamically reactive environments.

I’m bottlenecked and imma STILL do it, lol

UPDATE: it did not go well lol

At least you tried.

@@MythicResonance How “not well” did it go?

​​@@brando3342so not well that they had to post this comment from their phone

My RTX 11090 with 2gb of VRAM

Jusant is a game that uses ray tracing to extremely beautiful results and its textures are more or less just base colors. It's really incredible! That said, proper textures do add to the realism of a scene - it's how you get granular detail like the sheen of wood or the relfectiveness of water and glass, for example.

Yup, the lighting goes a long way for sure.

@@RicochetForce Portal with RTX was a full remaster, though. All the assets were remade to be higher-fidelity and compatible with PBR. But yeah, Quake 2 RTX looks stunning.

@@tyrus1235 Dude I love Jusant's art direction. Combined with it's color palette it's really gorgeous to look at. And well if the game is aspiring for realism like Forbidden West or RDR2 then high-fidelity textures makes sense. But something stylized like Jusant or Lightyear Frontier benefits by embracing their simplified look and still manages to evoke the right materials/surfaces with the use of proper stylized textures and lighting.

There are already multiple steps that could be taken to reduce the noise. Importance sampling and ray guiding could be used to help guide rays towards the directions that contribute the most to lighting, an (ir)radiance cache could be used to provide a relatively noise-free baseline to sample against for deeper rays, and a denoiser could be used to clean up any remaining noise. What you're seeing is the raw output of the path tracer without any of these steps.

@@toasterdogg Every game update can and will break mods. An extra 15 gb is nothing. The game is less then 80GB with all DLC on PS5.

@@RicochetForce And it speeds up Level Design by a lot as you dont have to bake lights with every change.

@@RicochetForce I'm not sure if my comment got across correctly. I am familiar with current animation using PBR and path tracing as well as Blender being able to make all sorts of styles with advanced lighting. I was just saying, I hope the industry doesn't JUST try to make photorealistic games with path-tracing since I have already seen it done really well with stylized CG outside of gaming.

That's simply not true. It may have been at launch, but I bought it on PC 3.5 weeks after launch, after putting in 110hrs on PS5, and it runs at 60fps on my i9-13900k/ 3080 PC in the towns in 4k with adjusted settings mixing low/med/high.

Jensen be like “This 5090 can do it… for $2,999!”

@mikem2253 why would raising your GPU do it, if it's CPU bound?? My 3080 runs at 75%-90% load when running the game in 4k There is plenty of headroom.

The slowdowns are because of a CPU bottleneck - your GPU is actually not even running at full utilization a lot of the time in DD2, so adding more load to it might not be as much of an issue as you'd think.

Probably could rather easily lock 60 fps with 3 samples instead of 4. Also, path tracing performance doesn't usually scale, either up nor down, as it casts rays indiscriminately. Performance impact should in theory be more or less the same everywhere. I think with some small tweaking and adding a denoising pass this could be very playable.
