Seems incomplete.

This game default is two side geometry disabled.

Interesting that here, even with 2 side geometry enabled, you do not get pitchy areas issue on rocks.

Needs Denoiser to fix bright leaves and flashes.

The true issue seems to be relatedvto bias.

I’ve reduced the bounces in the reflection, and the silver reflection issue is now hidden. I’m currently fine-tuning to resolve this issue permanently.

I would apreciate if soneone tell me how fix this silver reflection.

After driver update and shader compilation, issue fixed. Later I post my final version. I managed to disable lumen and use RTGI/RT reflection. GPU load increased a lot, though. It greatly changes game visuals .

This game seems to use Lumen with ray tracing as default and not fine-tuned full ray tracing nor the most realistic pure path tracing. So, you have raster solutions with ray tracing on top, which is less realistic.”

Even though not noticeable , there is a conflit between translucency and reflections, that start to appear when you set reflection max roughness above 0.5. I am still working on it. Some effects need to be actvated through simple raster before since it is the base for ray traced version. That is probably why point shadows desapear at low shadow quality even at max ray tracing.

I found the other issue, just lower reflection max roughness.

I managed to solve the water caustics above the ground issue and found the group of r.raytracing.reflection settings that are causing silver reflections. Later I will post a video. You can improve game quality adding effects that are disabled as default, serting higher quality settings for each of the enabled settings and forcing then to be active and even disabling rasterization. GI is not full ray traced as I suspected, dissbling adds some glitches, like sunlight inside caves. This game have not enabled cranked up all settings maybe due to wude range of graphics cards. RTX 4000 series handle so well ray tracing, its a shame. I can't immagine how fat my next RTX 5060 will go in rauly tracing and DLSS, it's just so exciting! Pure ray tracing makes scene so realvand immersive that makes gamming like a travel. I enjoy every detail, sunlight crossing leaves, rocks reflecting light... ❤

FG add few frames and is used only when it helps.

The command r.RayTracing.Reflections.MaxRoughness=1 is used to control the maximum roughness of surfaces that can have ray-traced reflections. In simpler terms, this setting determines how rough a surface can be while still being able to reflect light using ray tracing. A value of 1 means that even the roughest surfaces will have ray-traced reflections. Lowering this value can improve performance because fewer surfaces will use the more computationally intensive ray-traced reflections.

There’s a specific line in the reflections code that causes tree reflections in lakes to appear silver. I can’t recall which one it is, but fixing this issue only requires changing that single line. SHARK lines are also among the most demanding. To fix the fog, you need to reduce its density to around 0.001 and decrease the fade distance. There are other demanding lines as well, like reflection roughness. Denoisers seem to be useful and necessary, even with Ray Reconstruction in play. Ray Reconstruction works better with lower samples per pixel and reduced screen space options (around 50%).

I’ve encountered an issue in my snipe code for Black Myth: Wukong that causes reflections to appear metallic. I’m currently working on a fix for this. Additionally, the fog you see in the game is volumetric ray traced fog, and I’ve managed to reduce its intensity. My snipe is meant to inspire those who love ray tracing and realism, and I invite you all to experiment and share your thoughts.

I dug up some additional information: those treetop shadows? Not actually ray-traced! NVIDIA uses those images to say, ‘Look, see how great ray tracing is! Check out these shadows.’ But guess what? Those treetop shadows are actually cascade shadows relying on good ol’ rasterization. Oh my!

This produces interesting results too: r.PathTracing.Enable=1 r.PathTracing.UseTemporalAA r.PathTracing.UsePathtracedGlobalIllumination=1 r.PathTracing.UsePathtracedCaustics=1 r.PathTracing.MaxBounces=4 r.PathTracing.UsePathtracedShadows=1 r.PathTracing.UsePathtracedReflections=1 r.PathTracing.UseAmbientOcclusion=1 r.Streaming.PoolSize=1500 r.PathTracing.Denoiser=1 r.TextureStreaming=1

My next video a pure ray traced snipe 😊

Problem solved. I will post later a video. Super gpu demanding.

Code above do not helped. Maybe this one: [SystemSettings] r.TemporalAA.Algorithm=0 r.TemporalAASamples=0 r.TemporalAA.Upsampling=0 r.NGX.DLSS.Quality=0 r.NGX.DLSS.HistoryWeight=0.2 r.RayTracing.AmbientOcclusion=1 r.RayTracing.AmbientOcclusion.SamplesPerPixel=1 r.RayTracing.AmbientOcclusion.RadiusScale=0.2 r.RayTracing.Reflections.TemporalAccumulation=0 r.RayTracing.Reflections.MaxRoughness=0.5 r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0 r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight=0 r.ScreenPercentage=100 r.MotionBlurQuality=0 r.AntiAliasingMethod=0 r.FXAA.Quality=0 r.PostProcessAAQuality=0 r.RayTracing.AmbientOcclusion.Denoiser=1

I will try it to solve this ghosting: [SystemSettings] r.TemporalAASamples=8 r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight=0.2 r.TemporalAA.Upsampling=0 r.TemporalAA.Algorithm=1 r.TemporalAACatmullRom=0 r.RayTracing.AmbientOcclusion=1 r.AmbientOcclusion.RadiusScale=0.3 r.RayTracing.AmbientOcclusion.SamplesPerPixel=2 r.RayTracing.AmbientOcclusion.EnableMaterials=0 r.NGX.DLSS.Enable=1 r.NGX.DLSS.Quality=0 r.NGX.DLSS.HistoryWeight=0.2 ; Ajustes em reflexos para minimizar artefatos r.RayTracing.Reflections.MaxRoughness=0.6 r.RayTracing.Reflections.TemporalAccumulation=0 ; Outros ajustes gerais r.MotionBlurQuality=0 r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0.5 r.TemporalAASharpness=0.8

Looks better, but too much ghosting.

th-cam.com/video/XVYS1O-G1TE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FXXzxgiJPFizd312 here ray traced ambient oclusion

Ambient Oclusion is not ray traced either, should be put at low IMO.

Am I just me or the game looks more close to reality low settings + full ray tracing at very high than cinematic + full ray tracing at very high? I suspect there is a bad intteraction between ray tracing and non ray tracing solutions in this game.

Trying to solve it. 4K native reduces it a lot.

Is this game actually fully ray-traced? If so, what settings are we adjusting when ray tracing is set to very high, such as shadow quality, global illumination, reflection quality, and ambient occlusion? Are we adding non-ray-traced effects like SSR, shadows, and global illumination, or are we fine-tuning ray tracing settings like the number of bounces, samples per pixel, and so on?

Hey there. I am also still testing. I find that disabling global illumination at all through UE console is a bit too off, too many completely pitch black areas. I'd suggest to only add these lines to the original engine.ini [SystemSettings] r.RayTracing.ForceAllRayTracingEffects=1 r.RayTracing.Reflections.MaxBounces=4 Though the second one I am not 100% sure about its effect. My feeling is that in this way we actually have the right path tracing illumination, shadows and reflections, and now the shadows, reflections and global illumination settings in game do not do anything as far as I can tell.

This game has a HUGE difference between having ray tracing on and off.

Great job. I am doing the same thing, and came to the same conclusion. For sure Global illumination is the major offender to path tracing. But also shadows, if you set them to low (off), then something funky seems to happen. Also, try to play the intro with global illumination set to low. It seems that the intro was recorded only with Lumen global illumination. It is ugly with full RT and GI set to low (also sky-rocketing fps)

Today, NVIDIA released a new driver that seems to boost performance and adds shader compilation before the game loads.

Hi there! Could you please provide more details about that? I’d appreciate it!

Unless you’re tweaking path-traced shadows, global illumination, and reflections, but having two tweaks in the same menu would be strange. It doesn’t make sense.

I say that because I did tests with the Dragon’s Dogma 2 path tracing mod. Pure path tracing is more demanding and looks darker than hybrid path tracing, which combines rasterization and path tracing. This results in less GPU load and a brighter image, but it loses realism. It seems the same thing is happening in this game. Maybe they should just grey out these settings when path tracing at very high is enabled. The same goes for anti-aliasing, as it negatively affects DLSS

Is it just me, or do game look better when the settings are set to low and path tracing do the job? I feel like all those simulated details look ‘fake’ compared to ray-traced ones. The extra shadows in cinematic settings aren’t ray-traced, and the global illumination isn’t either. In my opinion, with low settings, there’s less interference from those fake lights, reflections, and shadows.

i can't find REFramework Works with DLSS/DLAA They all say Expired :(

ur highly cpu bound brother. and most probably vram bound to be able to take advantage of frame generation

SSR is one type of ray tracing

Recording at 4K resolution requires significant GPU resources to encode the video in real-time. This process uses the NVENC (Nvidia Encoder) chip, which, while efficient, still adds a noticeable load to the GPU.

The FPS here is noticeably higher when I’m not recording

I’m playing with Digital Foundry-optimized settings for PC, which are the same as the PS5 settings: 30 FPS frame cap, full ray tracing at 4K, DLSS on, and Frame Generation enabled. The GPU usage is around 80%, and it looks fantastic! I’ll record a video later to show how it looks.

You might wonder why frame generation isn’t effective in this scenario. Well, at such high resolutions-especially while recording gameplay-the frame generation process doesn’t function properly due to inadequate VRAM, especially if it’s not well-implemented (as is the case with this game).

An RTX 4060 Ti should be sufficient to run this game at those settings without any frame drops. Later, I’ll try disabling the extra load from NVIDIA ShadowPlay to see if it becomes more stable. Overall, not bad at all for a card that’s considered relatively weak. 😄🎮🔥

NVidia ShadowPlay impacts performance.

Wow 4060 much better at RTX than my good old 3060, I get same fps at 1440p 😅

I advise you to be cautious if you want to apply DLSS to this game. I recommend just copying and pasting the mod file into the game folder without making any adjustments. It seems to modify the DLSS driver definition in all other games, and I had to do a clean install of my GPU driver to fix the problem.
