RayTracing Sucks?!
Despite being almost 2025, RayTracing still takes a monumental hit on performance, seeing some games drop by 50% FPS when enabling RayTracing. This can make a game go from very playable to unplayable with a single setting. Is RayTracing really worth it? Is it actually viable to enable it or are hardware capabilities just not ready yet, still?

    A steam console would be useless i think. Instead finish steam OS for mass use and make the next steam deck work with an egpu dock. I mean just plugging your steam deck to a dock makes it a home console already. Issue is it looks terrible being it can't really run games at 1080p yet alone 4k on a big screen.

    • @128kbpodcast
      @128kbpodcast 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Nvidia's much easier to follow in my opinion. You're slightly out there, there is no "Super Ti" it goes, 4070, 4070 Super, 4070 Ti Super. "Super" is a relatively new thing, the Ti variants have been around for ages but now added to the super range to make them super-duper lol so it's base card / base card Super / base card Ti Super. 3 models. No idea what is happening on the AMD side! I also don't fully understand their numbering system. Nvidia is pretty easy, higher the number the better and always follows generations really.

Amd has the exact same kind of number scheme, what is there to not understand? I mean that as a qenuine question too. They have the base card, an xt, and on 1 model, the very top model is an xtx, the extra x lets you know its the most extreme.

    The thing I hate about the RT discussion is how the public perceive AMD as terrible at RT. When in reality they're not bad at all. When you buy a GPU in the mid-range (which most people do) and once market prices have settled in, AMD has similar RT performance to Nvidia per dollar. As an example, I bought a RX6800XT for the same price as a RTX3060Ti... RT performance is similar on both cards (many times it's even better on the AMD card), but ultimately AMD pulls way ahead in rasterized workloads (several GPU classes), not to mention that the RTX3060Ti is left in the dust once you start utilizing more than 8GB of VRAM (The RX6800XT has 16GB of VRAM) The reason why public perception is this way is because reviewers tend to review cards at MSRP and not "market price" and they generally compare the same "class of card" against each other, either by naming scheme or MSRP. But when looking at market pricing and real life value for the majority of consumers, AMD just offers way better value than Nvidia. All value oriented tech geeks know this... It's only when you want "the best of the best" 4090-levels of performance, that's when nvidia becomes your only option. But that's also only 0.94% of Steam Users.

    • @128kbpodcast
      @128kbpodcast 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah that's true, AMD is definitely better value, and I think AMD said fairly recently they're going to focus on the mid-range market to out perform there, which they do anyway as you said really!

    I think one of the main problem ray-tracing has is that modern games that use traditional lighting, often still look amazing. Ray tracing adds a subtlety of realism, but if that comes at a huge performance cost then I really don't care. If it was night and day more impressive than traditional lighting then I might be swayed, but in general it is off on my PC. I would prefer to max out my graphics settings before introducing ray-tracing!

    I remember turning ray tracing on in Spider-Man 2 whilst crawling up a heavily glassed skyscraper, thinkng to myself "oh wow, those reflections are very nice" and then instantly turning it off again. One look-see is all you need, the rest is a necessary 60fps experience!! Performance all the way guys! Ray tracing is as useful as 8K and chocolate teapots! A very small percentage actually want it 😅

    • @128kbpodcast
      @128kbpodcast 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

Like this thing should be hooked up with most of their old IP day 1 on release even if it increases the prices, this has to be the big push for online for them right? Everyone has a switch but because of its power we dont think to play online on it but the switch 2 changes that, so i do think they need a big push for why to join our switch online memberships

They gonna keepnmaking games for the Switch, LONG after they release the Switch 2 and mark my words; about a year after the Switch 2 releases; they will be able to make a Switch 1 that's smaller and more efficient than the Switch lite, with the best battery life of any Switch variant and maybe HDMI out. The thing will sell, becuase of it's sheer pcoketablity, which the 8 inch Switch 2, will clearly not have.

    Handheld is the future of gaming but it’s hard to justify the need for Sony or Microsoft handheld hardware. The software is a different matter. But given what pc handhelds are capable of & the library of games they can support, I don’t see how Sony creates an actual handheld unit that competes with that. They can however sell software all day long for the pc gaming marketplace, no doubt.
