RayTracing

[Furia]

How do you enable it in freeroam? I've set it to max or w/e it's called and no fps difference in comparison to previous patch.

I can see the difference betweeen extreme and off that car mirrors have a reflection in third person camera.

It only costs me 6fps to turn it to max

uh huh... Kind of underwhelming, comparing to what cp2077 did with this technology.

They just enabled Raytracing to be global (which was possible to do since day 1 tbh, tho not natively)
And Raytracing only affects cars, hence why the low cost of performance.
Unlike your example of cyberpunk with which it has its entire world render with raytracing.

Yea it's a bit unfair but still, shame.

Cyberpunk RT is still #1 overall by quite a margin. But amongst racing games, FH5 has got to be #1 now.

what rt did they enable? global illumination? cos i still cant see the reflection of other cars

imo, control does rt so much better than cp2077

if they were to add RT GI, Shadows and reflection to everything then the fps would be less or 60 with dlss but the game will look soo good so i wouldent mind having it.

theres only rt reflections for your own car right now

It's very specific what gets reflected. Only the car parts on your car get reflected in your car. So you can see your side mirrors & spoiler get reflected from certain angles. The environment doesn't get reflected. So the road & trees use the standard reflections.

Thats just lame

I notice some of the house windows do reflect with RT. But confetti in the air or even the other player's ghost cars, those don't reflect at all. So is confusing.

I feel like that's a missed opportunity for PGG to have a full ray traced environment. But nope, the team doesn't care and are just stupidly lazy imo. I mean hear this, the upcoming FM in 2023 confirms full rt. When FH5 was first announced, PGG says ray tracing was in the game. But only in Forzavista... Shouldn't FH5 have that in the first place or is it just what the game's engine can actually run back when it was announced?

If i had to guess it's because of console limitations, Fh5 was still made for xone for some reason. They probably didn't want it to look much different from the other versions and added ray-tracing for the sake of it and sticker(same as GT7). Motorsport 8 (probably) isn't planned for xone so we can expect something that is gonna look better tho if it's the same engine that forza runs we're still gonna have bugs with crashing every update and memory leaking, it's a part of forza experience on pc.
