Why do they force Ray Tracing?

[Kouki]

to force you to upgrade your pc i guess

[FizzyGig]

because technology changes.

[sling_shot]

Because the whole point of rtx was always to reach the point of being able to make games look the way they do without wasting time and money in rtx-less techniques.

[dprog1995]

Money from Nvidia.

[Milkdust]

Nvidia kickback.

Ray tracing is a scam.

I rather them force PhysX instead. The physics and partial effects would be so amazing

[ebolaconundrum]

They built the engine specifically to target the latest Xbox generation and specifically for FPS games.

It also supports the part of the PC market that has ray Tracing capability. But make no mistake its not targeted primarily at PC as a game or an engine.

PhysX was fun!
I remember getting my GTX 4060 and GTX 1060 TI and playing Fallout 4 with it on and watching the debris from bullets etc hitting the ground. It was basically great on 32bit but doesn’t work now without causing crashes on newer RTX. Fallout 4 won’t run with it enabled on my RTX 40 series.
But then I was heavily into 3D also back then and nvidia removed it from their driver. I had to use a hack to get it to work thereafter on my GTX 1060. But drivers eventually moved on and so did I.

Bc pretty graphics

My guess is that with RTX they can get away with doing less work, and the only thing that is stopping that advancement is consumer opinion. One game has to be the one that pushes the message to finally only allow RTX methods, and I suppose DOOM was the one.

It will be the same with AI, it's cost efficient so companies will use it. RTX is cost efficient, so they will use it. But it's only cost efficient if we do not use other rasterization techiniques, which is why that cost is instead forced onto you.

Is there a console command to disable it?

less programming if the AO is brute forced by RT
get used to it, it's only going to get worse from here on

This game was rushed to sell 5xxx cards.

Incompetent devs, incompetency everywhere.

This is the direction gaming is going. It requires much less work than baked lighting.
