but why anyone know that?

It seems to be that we have some form of RTGI right now, but according to a recent Nvidia blog post Path Tracing wont be available in the options menu until day 0 patch. Makes sense when you look at how good the game performs vs system reqs

The requirements state you need an RT capable graphics card. Then this video shows that all you can do is lower the RT quality:

How good? It currently runs about as well if not worse than both Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2 in their Pathtraced modes. When pathtracing is added performance will be beyond parody vs those titles.

Where are you getting that from? Alan Wake 2 Path tracing runs on my 4080 at around 40 ish fps in the forest areas DLSS performance 4k on ultra.

Indy runs locked sixty native 4k on supreme setting. The fact that it is the first console game to use RTGI suggests the RT is very performant, and doesn't even look very noisy. I'm super impressed and very curious how path tracing will perform now.

So I can't play the game at all with gtx 1080?

After 8 years, it's probably time to upgrade if you want to play big AAA games. Indie games are great, though. If not, you could buy an Xbox. Playing on PC for the latest big games is an expensive hobby.

I bought an xbox instead of a RTX series card and I regretted it and ended up buying a video card anyways. Just my experience though YMMV. This year I used Trump threats of tariffs as an excuse to mentally trick myself into buying an OLED monitor and a 4070 super.

The monitor alone felt like a significant video card upgrade, it's hard to describe.. like looking in a liquid mirror, the 4070 super made even my old games feel fresh, I can't get over how much better things are even from my 3060.

It can be hard in this economy to drop a few grand on PC parts but it's actually very inexpensive given how much entertainment they provide for many years.. even harder if your partner isn't a gamer and considers it a waste of time. Good luck Misa.

after short testing it seems they ""optimized"" RTX in the game by loading up almost everything whenever you look at or come close to it. Shadows a bit further than 2 meters don't load up, when you turn around you can see textures and stuff loading
even in 4k DLAA game looks blurry tbh.
most of the settings on ultra, except textures. {LINK REMOVED}https://shorturl.at/WgAME
Perfomance is not so bad (3080 ti manages 90~ FPS 1440p DLAA, will probably use DLSSQ for stabler frames), but graphics definitely took a big hit for that

Any better on lower settings? I'm about 50% of the way d/led

Ultra to high, additional 8~ FPS. High to medium additional 5~ fps, Medium to Low nets me additional 10~ fps. Could also be some CPU bottleneck as i am using 5700x. I am at the first checkpoint area with some sort of a lake.

Alan Wake 2 runs at 70fps with PT enabled on my 4070Ti+5800X3D with DLSS quality and frame gen enabled, this game runs at 60-70 with standard RT
