Proof that you don't need Ray Tracing and Path Tracing to make a Game look beautiful. Kingdom Come Deliverance II has none of these techniques being used, it only uses a global illumination technique called voxel cone tracing As a result KCD2 runs and looks amazing on PC.

Yeah the whole time I’m playing this game I keep thinking to myself why on earth am I sacrificing 2/3 of my frame rate for RT in other titles lol

So ray tracing promises to make development easier. That’s really the best part about it. You don’t have to worry about many of the normal things you do with lighting complex environments

If anything, it proves that we need pathtracing to make games look better. KCD2 sometimes look like oblivion. Indiana Jones in comparison looks like a game released for a completely different generation of hardware. That said the game is fantastic and i just can't stop playing it

Doesn't CryEngine use svogi in this game? That's kinda like RT right? I mean the game runs good, that's what matters. Some games actually use RT right like DOOM. But the Usual UE5 RT is always terrible, mostly because UE5 is terrible 😂

The Witcher 3 Remastered looks phenomenal. It's bringing in path tracing on PC for the first time and a Ray Tracing mode that runs at 60FPS for the PS5 Pro Combat has had many new animations added to it, mainly to address that awkward feeling when closing distances to enemies.

Death Stranding 2 is a prime example of why you don't need Ray Tracing for a visually stunning game. It looks objectively better and sharper than most Ray Traced games and doesn't suffer from any noise or ghosting issues at all.

PlayStation just released a new video of Mark Cerny and Jack Huynh talking about PS6 (Project Amethyst) which is going to come out in "a few years" - Neural Arrays which will allow for more efficient and better upscaling (PSSR), Ray Regeneration and new ML features. - PS6 will support Path Tracing - Better Ray Tracing and Path Tracing Performance via Radiance Cores - Universal Compression which drastically reduces memory bandwidth usage allowing for higher fidelity games

Let's settle this argument; Is Ray Tracing worth it and do you notice a tangible difference between these two clips?

Raster vs Ray Tracing vs Path Tracing in #TheWitcher3Remastered Path Tracing is inconsistent in terms of visuals. Sometimes it looks stunning and much better than Ray Tracing, while other times it looks worse or simply looks different. Ray Tracing, on the other hand, is transformative compared to the game’s raster lighting especially RTGI. It adds a lot to the visuals and makes the colors and objects pop much more. On the performance side, Ray Tracing is extremely demanding, especially on the CPU side, so enabling all RT effects isn’t a good idea unless you have the hardware to back it up. If you want decent performance with RT, enable RTGI on Performance and make sure to add RTAO, as it’s required. GTAO doesn’t work well with RTGI and can lead to noticeable visual artifacts. Finally, I recommend disabling DLSS RR. It’s heavier, and visually it doesn’t affect RTGI, while its impact on RTAO isn’t that noticeable.

Finally, a 2026 video-game that doesn't require Path Tracing to have indoor mirrors do basic reflections like this one It seems that 007 First Light is using the same technique here

it feels like some people saw a couple of underwhelming screenshots of Pragmata and decided that path-tracing is the death of art and art direction or something. i dont think those screenshots were great either but this shit looks amazing with path-tracing.

The reason why Reflections in GTA 6 look noisy and blurry isn't because Rockstar Games doesn't know how to do them or that a $2 billion budget magically fixes this. It all comes down to the GPU in current gen consoles, these consoles don't have the power they need to render high resolution Ray Traced reflections in real-time and corners had to be cut. Here I'm running GTA 5 enhanced for PC at ultra settings to show you how good and clean the reflections look if you have high-end and recent hardware that have AI upscaling to make this possible. That being said, The PS5 Pro console is much more powerful compared to the base PS5 (the footage which GTA 6 was captured) offering higher resolution, 45% faster rendering, 2X-3X better Ray Tracing performance and PSSR upscaling. With the PS5 Pro, it will have significantly better looking and sharper reflections somewhat close to what GTA 5 Enhanced reflections look like on a gaming PC at high settings. However, the ultimate experience will still be on PC when GTA 6 launches, allowing for the highest quality Ray Tracing or even Path Tracing if Rockstar Games decides to implement it.

Crimson Desert can suffer from a lot of ghosting and glitching issues with its native Ray Tracing in some indoor areas like this one. Turning on Ray Regeneration (AMD) or Ray Reconstruction (Nvidia) fixes these problems, however it does come at a performance cost.

Lost Soul Aside is built on Unreal Engine 4 The stutters are insane even with Ray Tracing turned off. Its honestly unreal how none of the recent UE Games manage to keep a stable framerate on PC.

Pragmata Demo Gameplay The Game looks like its very well optimized and I haven't encountered any form of stuttering at Ultra Settings with Ray Tracing turned on You can check out this game for free on Steam if you're playing on PC I like how this is an action-style game with quick puzzles that you have to solve during a fight, 2026 is going to be an amazing year for gaming.

The biggest announcement from NVIDIA GTC was just released! It's the open sourcing of TWO Radiance Field methods, 3D Gaussian Ray Tracing and 3D Gaussian Unscented Transform from NVIDIA AI Developer. Not only has the code been released, but they come with an Apache 2.0 License, meaning you can use these methods commercially. This is the same license that Nerfstudio carries and is a big win for the community! 3DGRT introduces a pure ray tracing implementation, while 3DGUT brings the effects of ray tracing, such as secondary lighting effects to rasterization. This is a big deal! Article👇 Code👇

Realistic Ragdoll feels like lost technology on every game except those ones that Rockstar makes. How come every modern game aims to push for realism with Ray Tracing, yet no game has even come close to offer the level of ragdoll physics that Grand Theft Auto IV had in 2008.

Ray tracing sound on the GPU (Work in progress). Since the whole game is running on the GPU, I found it convenient to do the sound management and the ray tracing on the GPU as well. Each frame the CPU receives a sound queue from the GPU to process, and applies effects like reverb

This indie dev is working on a feature to allow deaf players to visualize sounds in their FPS game... Through "ray tracing" and the use of colors. This is amazing

I tested out Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing turned on with RX 9070 XT now that FSR Redstone is out. By using the new FSR Redstone and FSR ML Based Frame-Gen, the game reaches up to 130FPS in 1440p with FSR set to Performance Mode. The performance gains are not that much higher compared to the previous versions of FSR but the image quality got a huge upgrade, especially when using Frame-Gen. This ML based Frame Gen is much better than the previous version as it gets rid of most artifacts and ghosting caused by the previous version. If for some reason you always wanted to play Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing turned on on an AMD GPU, now you can enjoy a playable experience with 100+ FPS on an RX 9070 XT. I still don't recommend it though as the frame pacing and input lag still feels off for me, I'd just rather play this without Frame Gen and Path Tracing. I'm going to test out Black Myth: Wukong next
