Can we somehow integrate RTX into this?

I dunno ♥♥♥♥ about 3D modeling and stuff. But I figured real time ray traced desktop could be pretty cool?

I don't know. RTXed desktop MMD?

In theory yes, but in practice no. The performance would be pretty bad even with current high-end hardware, so there's really no point in burning your graphics card up on your desktop.

Not exactly the case. See here https://uk.ign.com/articles/2018/11/19/nvidia-rtx-ray-tracing-benchmarks-in-battlefield-5
2080Ti is able to do 90FPS in games in BFV at 1440P with RTX ON.
90FPS sounds like pretty decent FPS to me as my desktop.
Or am I missing something here?

For wallpapers you generally want your GPU to be in its low power state at a low clock-rate, otherwise you're wasting a lot of energy. Even if an RTX can manage simple scenes at 60+ FPS, it's using all of its power in its high-power state for that - you would be turning your computer into a permanent heater even if you limit the FPS to something like 30 with Wallpaper Engine.

Like I said, it's totally possible in theory, you could actually get it to work with an application-based wallpaper if you are inclined to experiment around. I personally just don't think it's super smart and you'd probably be better off recording a complex scene with a video and then creating a perfect loop.

How bout now lmao

yeah, 4090 can now do even high framerates, it's very doable from a performance perspective now
