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?

WHY ALLY X & STEAM DECK CHANGED GAMING…
มุมมอง 2K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
WHY ALLY X & STEAM DECK CHANGED GAMING…
No raytracing doesn’t suck, having a £700 Pro console with no CPU upgrade when a lot of titles are CPU limited sucks.
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.
I can see this with nintnedo as their games aren't as demanding
Ray Tracing has never sucked, its the underlying power to support ray tracing properly thats sucked, important distinction :D
Hardly ever used ray-tracing mode always want the extra frames and better performance
UE5 sucks and every dev using it needs to stop its ruining all these games that could look and run so good but because they use UE5 they end up looking horrible and running even worse.
Bro the slim is not that much different from the pro
30 fps is choo toppy
hahaha Mark Cerny identified...
Ray tracing is the only way to keep selling new GPUs
I absolutely love raytracing. I find the realism to be quite immersive. AMD needs to get gud, quickly
I love how they are asking a question I was asking when the first RTX cards were being brought to market in 2018.
ray tracing sucks? yes yes it does
hahaha
Id prefer they stayed on the path they are and nintendo are on where the ai. Is to create a handheld that provides both experiences of mobile handheld and lounge gaming
More Jim Carrey impressions, for immediate channel growth
oh in that case expect one EVERY episode!!!
@128KB Ghosts of Sats(two)ma confirmed!
hahahaha amazing!!! This wins comment of the day!!
@@128kbpodcast Sorry it’s so late, I’m super behind on listening on the podcast! Keep it going Andy and AJ. Enjoy listening to your as soon as possible rocky stories!
You guys were not wrong about the Ally X. Just got one and it is perfection. 1080p is the sweet spot for handheld resolution.
oh wow!!! so glad you're loving it too :)
Nvidia super ti 12gb or ti super 10gb both are 4070s, which is better?! Nvidia names and shady workings are far worse than amd, in my opinion.
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.
@@128kbpodcast yes i was slightly exagerating, but im sure 50 series will have a super ti super 🤣 but also nvidias slimy tactics of cutting ram and trying to pass those off as same cards for almost same price when theyre clearly handicapped. 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.
They maybe could do 30 day licence activation. So you only need to put it in max 12 times a year?
@@_shadouken like marital life? Put it in max 12 times a year 🤣
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.
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!
yep can confirm i got the rx 6800 xt and it rocks! ive been playing metro exodus and the first hell balde and i was getting 80-100 fps with rt at medium and switching from medium to high changes very little cant even notice the difference well yeah in the FPS drop XD
Man, I have an RX 6800. That card is a power horse even in modern 2024 games. Absolutely incredible. I've upgraded to a 4070 Ti Super recently, but only because I short circuited my AMD card lol. Price to performance tho? the Rx 6800 was a WAY better deal.
Sony had to nickel and dime their customers because they just lost $400m and theyre losing the software side to microsoft, so they have to try and make their money back on hardware because everything about sony is just garbage. Theyre losing and it shows
When Xbox proposed a licensing program for used games like you guys just described, people absolutely lost their minds.
that's a really good point.
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!
100% our thoughts too Dan!
14:43 "Kids are playing Fortnite"... was this aimed at produce pete? ;)
obviously he did ;)
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 😅
That’s exactly it. You turn it on and go “wow that’s so cool” then notice the performance hit and instantly turn it off again and focus on the gameplay. It’s really cool… but feels like an expensive gimmick with current hardware
Cool podcast guys, though I will point out that in the game, Shadow is played by Kirk Thornton, though there is a movie variant who is played by Keanu and he is also playing Shadow in the third movie. You would enjoy Spiderman 2 if you liked the first and Miles Morales as I found the 2nd game was the best of both worlds :) And yeah AJ Idris Elba is in Phantom Liberty too lol
you knw we really need you on set, like our fact checking producer!
The problem with steam is you don't own anything
sadly the same on all platforms... look whats happening with The Crew right now. Even the physical copies are now useless.
Surely NIntendo revamp the online program before the switch 2 comes out? 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
Prince of Persia was absolutely incredible! 100% Ubisoft's best game for a very long time. The one game that's actually different from the rest. The fact they disbanded the one studio that made a unique (to Ubisoft) game is insanity.
I couldn’t agree more. So sad.
The best explanation on the internet 🏆
Halo and Gears of War series from Microsoft Studios
👀
“They’ll come to your house” 😂
hahha
Are Switch cartridges definitely going to work on Switch 2?
It seems so!
I want stellar blade on pc for the outfit mods or minus outfit mods.
errrr we all do ;)
Lmaoo "PSSR'd" 😂... im hoping for the "Super Switch" and wishing that the next Metal Gear Solid collection Vol2 comes out on it... natively.. asking for too much?
You and me both! I'll be Pssr'd if not ;)
Another great video guys i really want VR Mario odyssey or Zelda
Will nintendo kill the switch, or will they switch it up and sell along side a new console 🤭
pun of the day
Your comment is spot on. 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.
I have the ally x and still play tears of the kingdom on switch just bought the new one not played it yet
Hmm I haven't touched my Switch in a while either lol.
yeah shame... but I think next year is going to be a big one for Nintendo
Ghost of satsuma ?
hahahaha yeah
What tv?
Ally with xgm 4090 is the best
I wonder if your vrr flicker is a TV oled thing be cause i have a 39 inch Lg ultrawide oled monitor and ive never noticed any flcikering
What was the mini led? Mine is fantastic with 2300 dimming zones
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.
it's hard to disagree with this. Although it would be cool to see Sony & Xbox step into the space.
I like that Playstation PC games are easy to pirate! Save alot of money! and since PS does shit MP it doesnt matter if I cant play them online
🤣🤣
andys 77" oled got me googling :-)
You mean Andy's 77 incher got you googling!
I'm looking at selling my Series X because end f the day Rog Ally X will play both systems, not really into high frames or graphics so its a win.
God of war Ragnarok PC handheld is a true statement of how far we've come
totally!
It's hilarious that you guys think that MS doesn't know you are sharing your "Games" Pass subscription. They actually sell it as a feature of the subscription to share it with your family (that's why they don't have a "family plan" of some kind). You can even set your Xbox settings to be a "My Home Xbox" which let's you share any game you've ever purchased with any account that signs into that Xbox. It's the best! You'll be fine 😂
I’m still scared that if we talk about it too much they’ll take it away 🤣
