Nvidia on Linux is actually the best but current wayland support.

If you want to understand learn the difference between ray tracing and path tracing and the effect that the transition from the former to the latter had on the creative process of the film industry.
Hoe Nvidia describes the game:
Quake II RTX Available Now: Download The Ray-Traced Remaster Of The Classic Quake II For Free (nvidia.com)
Quake II RTX, our ray-traced remaster of Quake II is now available to download and play!

Path tracing is a type of ray tracing.
I also don't know what benefit you think going from simple ray-tracing to path-tracing had/has on the "creative process of the film industry".

And I certainly don't think it looks like shit.

Originally posted by sophisticles View PostI can find nothing that says Quake II RTX uses anything other than simple ray-tracing and even if it did, there is nothing "mind blowing", it just tells me that someone really wanted to use the most inefficient rendering method possible.
Not to mention that the first name of the project was "Quake II Vulkan Path Tracing"

Originally posted by CochainComplex View PostNormally it should be an apple to apple comparison. But Luke_Wolf pointed it out correctly in the post prior to yours it depends on the different techniques of the vendors. In another thread few weeks ago this was also discussed. Of course at the end the delivered experience/performance to the user is the culprit. I can not asses what's the pro and cons of each approach and when which technique results in a better performance. But If the quake raytracing engine was build up from scratch with nvidias approach in mind which is very likely its difficult for AMDs implementation to gain some ground dispite of their contribution.
At the end AMD needs to change gears no matter if increasing raytracing cores on the die, driver and software implementation or in marketing, convincing game engine devs to use their techniques.

In the future, graphics will probably be close to photorealistic. For that to be possible, real time raytracing must be implemented. Todays hardware is *just* capable of doing exactly that, quake 2, at 60-ish fps. The 4k resolution is a bit high for me, but the objects and 3d-scenes in quake rtx look to me to be more "physical" than a traditional 3d render. That means I feel like they look closer to something Id be able to reach out and touch, even though the models are ancient.
