Aaaand how about amd gpus?

Same thing. AMD's decision if/when they support DXR and with what hardware. Nothing available yet.

Wasn't this how Time Spy worked as well? At these prices it's really not a huge deal. Very affordable and I will undoubtably put dozens of hours in Port Royal assuming hwbot integrates it into its list of benchmarks.

So all those game-of-the-year editions with all dlc included for free are also unfair, I guess. Or how you get all old expansions for free with World of Warcraft, just have to buy the latest one.

This is basically the same thing. Older tests are discounted and new tests added. In this case we discounted every old test by the cost of the DLC and added the DLC to the 3DMark package for new buyers. Net effect, price stayed the same and more content comes with the purchase.

If you bought 3DMark before this discounting, you had the previous package and price - you need to buy the DLC if you want it.

windows 10 vers 1809 you need for 3D Mark Port Royal. I installed windows update from 1803 to 1809 and now 3dmark is no longer working.

You may need to reinstall Futuremark SystemInfo. Just uninstall it from program list, then do Verify on 3DMark on Steam and restart 3DMark, it will reinstall it. Sorry, Windows update sometimes seems to disable the service.

NVIDIA has not released a driver with DXR support for GTX 10-series cards.

Are there any chances they release it in 2019 (or later)? And not only for 10-series, but also 9-series and 7-series? And BTW they have it in TITAN V drivers - could be "back-ported" to pascal/maxwell/etc ? But I wonder if there is any reason for them to do it - RTX cards are selling bad and there are only 3(!) DXR apps released to date: BF5, Q2 and Port Royal?

You have to ask NVIDIA. Titan V drivers kinda prove that hardware acceleration is not required as Titan V has no ray tracing hardware. Also while you need Google Translate... :

This video is not very useful, maybe just a fake? I see no evidence there that actual 1080 ti is able to run Port Royal. Also, still no 3dmark Port Royal results of GTX cards are visible, only with secondary RTX. (BTW how to filter them out to find only the results with no secondary cards?)
