Needs ray tracing so badly

[Dolo808]

loaded up on a 4090 4k oled max settings and it looks seriously last gen. maybe it was just the time of day idk. the AO and shadows are absolute ♥♥♥♥

You have eye problems.

and whats your problem?
yes we get it you bought yourself a substandard gpu and like to brag about it
nobody cares

Runs amazing, sucks to be you who bought Nvidia marketing and no games to support it other than a handful. LUL epic 1000 / 2000 down the drain.

tell me thats not last gen. the trees look like a ps3 game. it's a bit overexposed but ill blame that on .jxr to .jpg issues.

awful low res textures, lighting just looks wrong, things look like theyre floating

literally zero shadows/AO for some of the green plants on the right

Makes sense, can't see anything when the entire image looks like looking into a Fire.

Textures look awesome in my very compressed video, way better in person.

Either way, a big jump up from the original.

i like those last gen games that look great and run smooth more then these "next gen" RTX stuff that looks okay and run like sh!t

How? It looks amazing on my QD-OLED TV

The AO and shadows are fine. Time of day will obviously change how they look.
This post has 1:1 comparisons that clearly shows improvement across the board.

Adjust your HDR settings, HDR isn't just plug and play, have you calibrated your HDR in windows?

Use 'Windows HDR Calibration' you can find it on windows store, follow the instructions, once done run the game, click 'Continue', press 'Esc' and goto settings and adjust in-game HDR to your liking.

Edit: unless your monitor has a manufacturer color profile you can download and install

(Don't use the HDR settings from the main menu as it shows a screenshot when you adjust and will not translate to game image quality properly)

Dont forget to set your max luminance to the proper peak nits (5% or 10% window) and the general luminance to the 100% window.

Once you have that set, then you can have your peak highlights at 10. If you don't have the previous set correctly, your HDR will either be too weak or have too much clipping.

Have they even made a game where Ray Tracing is worth the performance trade off?
I typically keep it off.

From what I have seen, it's like a 30-50fps hit or worse.

I'm the wrong one to ask. I'm all about raytracing and always have it on. I cannot get enough of it.

Anyone else?

Depends on your card and game. I always turn it on no matter the game with my 4090. I'll take DLSS quality over DLAA if it means ray tracing. Framgen is also a big boost and I don't care about added latency in single player/controller. For example, the new dragon age game has RT shadows/AO/reflections and hits 120+fps no problem DLSS quality and framegen.

HDR is all configured for my LG C2, it was just a .jxr image conversion screen shots. In the screenshot you can clearly see bad AO (and none for the green grass on right), bad shadows, terrible foliage on the trees, and poor textures. The lighting also comes off flat and lacks any nuance you'd see in RTGI or baked ray traced lighting (aka lightmaps like this game has)

It's most this area of the game, other places can be amazing overall.

Adjust the HDR settings in game, not from the settings at the main menu but while you're actually playing you will see it change in realtime in the game world, judging by your screenshot your settings are way off

Just read in another post about HDR is that the nvidia app/geforce experience is applying RTX HDR and turning that removes the washed out look

No that does not fix it at all. I also uninstalled the app. Still the same.

You mean you need games to justify your memetracing paperweight?

Hardware Unboxed did a video about it this week. My take-away is, no they dont. The games that have transformative raytracing (IE Cyberpunk path tracing) run ♥♥♥♥ even on a 4090 without heavy upscaling and FG.

The tech isn't there, its Tessallation 2.0 for Jensen to sell more GPU's. And people like OP fell for it, and now desperately seek justification for their purchase.
