GravityMark 1.44 Released With Ray-Tracing Support

Certainly the majority of people will not touch anything RTRT enabled any time soon.

A big unknown is what sort of production volume Intel has purchased for their upcoming dGPUs. Plus, I believe Ryzen 6000-series APUs will have RTRT support (whether it's usable is another matter).

Well, I can afford one of those cards today. I just buy on principle.

Yeah, there's what I'm willing to spend for a "hobby" vs. what I could financially manage with adequate need. If my livelihood depended on it, sure I could buy a high-end dGPU. Otherwise, absolutely not.

In fact, I just sold off a Radeon VII, not too long ago. And the $700 I originally paid for it (back in 2019) was already more than I thought I'd ever spend on a GPU.

Most Russians with a brain perfectly know that

Let's say since, oh... 2016, I have more sympathy for those living under authoritarian governments.

but we are afraid of doing anything as they have all the power and we are not even allowed to carry/own guns.

Guns are a false solution, anyhow. There are very few recent examples of an armed uprising actually succeeding. Violent resistance usually just makes a bad situation worse.

This world has gone insane.

True. The news is stranger than fiction, these days.

I do it is because I want something to remain after I die. Some people even call me Artem which is so nice to hear :-)

Best wishes to you and your family. Thanks for being honest.

Perhaps you could give it another try with this: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/...requests/14565 ?

I've finally got to this and it actually works with that MR, thanks! Ran it like this:

MANGOHUD=0 RADV_PERFTEST=rt VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/local/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i686.json:/usr/local/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json ./run_fullscreen_vk_rt.sh

And voila, the benchmark starts and runs at about 0.2 FPS.

Non-RTX Nvidia GPUs support software ray tracing on Vulkan. It will be a fair comparison.
