And a lot of Nvidia glazing
I'm surprised Nvidia didn't burn that research paper so that it doesn't go against their current marketing narrative that you need proper RT hardware to do realistic, real-time GI.This game uses Voxel cone tracing instead of ray tracing for global illumination. These devs are really smart.
This is an NV paper from 2011 talking about this method. It doesn’t require RT hardware.
It was tested on a GTX 480!!!
Probably don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.No...not LTT! Perish the thought.
They did go to bat for HUB when Nvidia was bullying them. And when Linus was still running the show he was transparent about their biz. The biggest slice of the pie was merch. But that was then and this is now, and Nvidia went from the 800 pound gorilla to a 30 story green Kaiju in a shiny leather jacket.Probably don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.
Hopefully they (Nvidia) don't try to rig the reviews too badly. I could see them limiting review samples to reviewers that only agree to test certain titles, or only if they agree to test with FSR enabled, or only test with RT enabled, etc. Or i can see their NDA having lots of terms/conditions to try to make their cards seen in the best light. Though at least I think there is only so much they can get away with.They did go to bat for HUB when Nvidia was bullying them.

They don't have to do it in ways that create so much friction. You can read about the way Bioware discreetly influenced the reviews for Dragon Age Veilguard, they essentially made sure the reviewers more likely to be positively impressed were given faster access to the game. Statistics did the rest of the work.Hopefully they (Nvidia) don't try to rig the reviews too badly.

Isn't 50% render scale of 1080p actually 1358 x 764? Or do they really mean one quarter the pixels.It should not need 540p internal res for that.
Good point, I just assumed the worstIsn't 50% render scale of 1080p actually 1358 x 764? Or do they really mean one quarter the pixels.
960x540Isn't 50% render scale of 1080p actually 1358 x 764? Or do they really mean one quarter the pixels.
Wow. That's bleak then.960x540
1366x768 was low end laptopWow. That's bleak then.
I swear - many years ago - I saw that resolution (764p) appear when I set a game to 50% render scale. Although that was before DLSS revolutionized upscaling.
Yes and thankfully I have avoided these. This was R6S on a 1080p display with 50% render scale.1366x768 was low end laptop
9700/9070, it's Athlon/Athalon all over again!... Maybe 9700 or 9700xt ....
Whoops .. yea, i meant 9070 and 9070xt ... Whatever RDNA4 Navi48 cards are called9700/9070, it's Athlon/Athalon all over again!
UK Steve did a quick videoThere is DLLS4 released for C2077, anyone can test Transform etc and how quality?
Very smart to release this to all RTX cards, especially with Blackwell being soJensen pre-emptively tried his best to make his existing user base happy and grateful before they brought out the pitchforks. Have to begrudgingly admit that he's more clever than I thought.
