Something like "PT Cores" simply does not exist, PT is a heavier and more perfect light transport technique than RT but it is basically the same, digital photons, AMD could run PT fluidly with RDNA 4 but it is impossible for it to surpass the 4th Gen RT that Blackwell has when NVIDIA presents them.@@imretix8081
For anyone reading this you need a TV that can properly display HDR if you want to actually see the difference. Most sub $1k TVs are pretty terrible in this regard.
Yea, the shadows are pretty terrible in this game. Lod and pop in as well. At least it guns great on lower end hardware, but there should be options to adjust that stuff.
But I’ve been reading so many say the game is so well optimized 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Gamers in 2024 Game runs well = game is well optimized Game is resource hungry = poorly optimized.
Interesting that a 4090 has been a beast in every other game & all of sudden we need a 5090 now 2 months before release. They have to push sales somehow 🤷🏻♂️
So at PT set to medium 4k, it uses more than 16gb vram. So if the leaks are true and 5080 has 16gb vram, it will suffer here even though it should be faster than 4090 😭 I really hope Nvidia wont be greedy and put more VRAM on that card.
Also you dont have to setup every game to ultra or supreme like its here. It wont take 20gb. Most times there is no difference to high /very high settings.
Xx80 cards are supposed to be for 1440p. My 4080 gets 90-100 fps with full ray tracing on supreme in 1440p with DLSSQ and FG. It’s a little softer than 4k hence why I play it in 4k. You want 4k with full PT you gotta shell out the money for a 5090. That’s the way it’s gonna go. We better stop whining. It won’t change.

Folks needs to realize that heavily optimized games do exist and need to realize that current hardware aren't there yet to run Path Tracing Natively without upscaling. Altho this game should probably provide at least a little distance slider for the shadow cascade on regular RT mode so its not tooo jarring, as well as the LOD distance. It is possible in the ini file, just need to add it natively in the game menu.

People act surprised about the 20 gigs of Vram consumption, meanwhile modding games at 4K like Cyberpunk with PT/max. settings, Skyrim with 3500+ Mods, GTA 5 and Stalker 2 (vastly enhancing visuals) utilize close to 20GB or in some cases, like Cyberpunk 2077 with a lot off visual enhancement mods, more than 20GB of Vram on my 4090.

Until you can make blender render at 140fps there will always be a way to make a GPU suffer. Question is whether you actually care about it looking like a blender render.
Alex from DF showed the engine variable you can adjust to mitigate the LOD pop in. It degrades perf and increase memory usage. You should try it, on a 4090 it shouldn't be muche of a problem.
The Shadow Popping in 4:49 looks like to be due the LOD change. I'm no expert, but in games we have the level of detail, which is based on distance. We can notice that once you walk close to the object (tree) the object changes to a higher detail version. Then, the shadow follows that. LODs are important to the game performance, but you need to 'mask' their change. You can set how many LOD levels you need to the game (more versions, more storage, more files). Hope that gets fixed!
The shadow draw distance is the same with RT vs PT. The difference you're seeing is just because the RT shadows are soft making the pop in less noticeable. If you want to change the draw distance it's an ini file setting (r_lodscale).
Completely agree. There is a bit of an issue with everything going 4K these days though. I've been looking to upgrade to an HDR monitor and the largest online store in the country has exactly 1 monitor that's 1440p with HDR and GSYNC. It's making me a bit anxious, but I'll have to wait a bit longer to pick one up as I just spent way too much on an OLED tv and some other expensive toys. Hopefully they'll still exist when I do.
4K DLSS Performance looks better than 1440p DLSS Quality with similar Performance and the same is true for 4K DLSS Quality vs 1440p native. So the actual resolution of your monitor has become almost irrelevant for games. Therefore simply buy what you can afford.
Please show more of the city as well in these path tracing ones as it looks awesome. I’m keen for the 4070 super as that’s what I’m running now 😃 Also hopefully the developers are watching this and fix in the shadow pop in and LOD issues
4:01 it's because not of path tracing, its the tree's texture popping up 😂 Path tracing is realtime lighting producing fully realtime shadows, so even if a tree pops up, it will produce shadow of it ....
So full path tracing is completely available in realtime! Now we can add other long awaited features to new games.What about full soft body, cloth and liquid physics?... Or, at least, better AI-powered NPCs which can conversate with player... Shall we?(c) Of course not, just another daydreaming that never come to life.
This game looks very beatiful on Full RT. If I am rich then i would 100% get a 4090 over ANY card and enjoy premium RT experience. For me this is worth it. I am 100% sure the 7900xtx is nowhere close to this performance and the 4080 will have vram issues at 4k. 4090 However is fast enough and has enough vram.
haven't finished the video, but yes, the "shadow pop-in" with PT seems like it's a pop-in but in reality it's just the LOD of the tree model changing, so the shadows follow the model obviously. This theoretically can be fixed by manually increasing the LOD detail distance in the console commands that Digital Foundry showed in their video
400 watts...aight. I guess if your heater ever breaks, you're set. If this continues, I feel like high end SFF PCs with desktop parts aren't going to be a thing. I know that there are architecture improvements, but brute forcing more compute power w/ more energy consumption and higher msrp/unit is not a good trend.
this game will eat up your setup lmao, with max settings, an rtx 4090 and dlls performance AND frame generation: 60 fps (i have 30 fps in gta v with lowest settings)
Crazy how many babies are crying about this game. Dial in your settings and it looks great, even at 8 GB of VRAM. I ran it this morning on high settings, high pathtracing, with balanced DLSS on a 4070 Ti Super at 60 - 100 FPS At 1440p ultra wide Im CPU limited
I genuinely hate dlss, maybe I'm just sensitive to it but as soon as you turn it on, even ultra quality/quality I notice the mild blur. I've noticed it on every game.. As much as it sucks I'd rather stick to native and turn down settings which is a shame since the 4090 costed so much and the really nice looking path tracing games can barely run native 4k
@@ramborambokitchenkitchen6357 The only reason is that the devs made a deal with nvidia. The game runs great on my 6700 xt and I would love to check out path tracing even if it dropped to 5fps, at least it would be an option. It's not like 4060 is a better gpu but it has the option.
@@matemich01 nothing below the 4070 can handle it. My 4070ti even struggles unless I put texture cache down and use dlss balanced 😂, I can get over 60fps with path tracing but it seems pointless as the standard mode still looks great and I can get 130fps using that. I guess the option will be added in a patch at some point for amd users.
This section of the game is one of the least demanding areas. I was getting 80-90 or so FPS with my 3060 at 1440p with high settings (DLSS quality), then I was dropping below 50 in certain areas of the Vatican and Giza. You need to do these tests in the wide-open sections where both the GPU and CPU get stressed more, rather than the first two minutes of the game.
It's only getting heavier from here, these first few full PT games still have a low samples per pixel and light bounces. Doubling the resolution of a texture qudaruples its area, and VRAM requirement. This is likely why Nvidia is leaning so hard on DLSS, they gonna find a way to run at 240p internal for 4k output lmao
@@cosmic_gate476 idk i giggled at that. I can actually see them leaning into this and going even up to 8k while not even rendering native 1080. Crazy with what tricks we can push todays grafics
@@piotrnowak8725what about Cuperpunk? It came out years ago and to this day a 4090 can’t handle it with full PT in 4k as well as it should without DLLSQ and FG. Did they also push the sales of 50 series cards? Maybe but only maybe PT has always been really resource hungry and because current card can’t handle it, it’s not used much? But with the 50 series coming devs can know use it more? Or will that just be stupid marketing to push ppl to buy NVIDIA? It’s all a conspiracy isn’t it?
Dude it's patht tracing. That tech is sci fi stuff. We don't even fully utilize ray tracing and normal human class hardware can't even handle ray tracing. You don't have to always max everything just because it's there b
KrizzP I know it sounds daft but when you have RT shadows & reflections you can turn original shadow settings to low and original reflections off, not sure it does a lot but I'm getting 50+ most of the time with both RT reflections and shadows with a 3060 @ 1440p DLSS balanced, she is trying! 😂😂 Okay.... I went back to the jungle and was getting 30's with drops into the 20's! 😂🤣🤣
@@Val-ye6nv It shows up for my 12 GB 4070 Ti, however I had to reduce the texture pool to High (other settings still max) for full PT to not crash instantly. With this setting, DLSS Balanced works fine at 3440x1440, but it's already scraping at 12 GB. The 16 GB 4060 Ti should do really well at 1080p if you have that one.
I do like all these graphically improving tech as people with very high end pcs can really experience more visual improvement in their system Problem is, its coming at the cost of lazy optimising and the game devs thinking these tech will do the work for u, so lower end systems are being more obsolete. Game devs really need to flesh out their games catering to all systems from low end to very high end. These high end options should not be baseline, it should be a luxury option. And its not like games are cheaper now, its really expensive compared to the prices AAA titles were before.
if you have the VRAM available why shouldn't it be used? It could just be allocated for objects further away. It should be easy for a game to test how much is available on start up then make the most of it.
I get the same frame rate in 1440p but with a RTX 4080. I use full PT + DLSS Quality + FG and 80-90 was in the starting jungle area and 130-140 or more in the Vatican. What is interesting for me that how much frame rate DLSS looses during upscaling because in 4k DLSS Performance is 1080p internal but in 1440p DLSS Quality is 960p (around that).
dang! i want to see the 4080 super with this because the vram is quite high! i played it on 4k, DLSS Balanced, and with medium path tracing and got playable fps, but here the 4090 says its just ove 16 gb.
The game has an issue for me and many others where it defaults to the lowest LOD scale (lodscale 1) no matter the graphics settings, to fix open console with ~ and type r_lodscale 2 for example. Experiment between 2 and the max of 10, the higher you go the less fps you get but waaay less pop-in than the default setting. Need to do this every time you load up the game.
Indiana Jones and the Great Pop-In! I swear pop-in used to be way less noticebale on older games with only raster, not having to resort to ray or path tracing... The path tracing does look great, but I feel like the pop-in is way more noticable than it should be, even with path tracing.
At 4K, why do people either only do Quality DLSS or Performance DLSS? Seems like you would benefit from doing the Balanced by not getting as much fuzziness and also getting a little bit more FPS than at Quality. Wish you'd showcase that option more often
This game does not look any better than Shadow of the Tomb Raider but requires a $1600 video card to do the same things. I'm all in for path tracing / ray tracing but not if it costs twice as much to accomplish the same stuff. This is a downgrade. Not an upgrade. Turn on RT or you get shadow pop? Come on.
I'm still in the opinion that games don't need to be realistic, they just need to look or seem realistic. To me what's more important are the animations and the interactivity of the environment. Look at this game, realistic lighting and yet you see a lot of popping in 😅
This makes me wonder wtf they were smoking when they wrote that requirements chart. They said 4090 for Full RT at 4k 60 with DLSS Performance and FG, when that setup actually gets 100+ FPS.

that 1 tree lods are def not meant to be that low must be a mistake XD
It happens with all of the trees in the city as well 😭
@@zWORMzGaming darn thats not good 😥
20:24 "Ohh, we're destroying our 4090 now" (unironically)
That's a thing I thought wasn't possible for at least another year..
Alan wake 2 already did
@VASILISPAGOURAS7 ah yeah, correct
Until you can make blender render at 140fps there will always be a way to make a GPU suffer. Question is whether you actually care about it looking like a blender render.
Alex from DF showed the engine variable you can adjust to mitigate the LOD pop in. It degrades perf and increase memory usage. You should try it, on a 4090 it shouldn't be muche of a problem.
The Shadow Popping in 4:49 looks like to be due the LOD change. I'm no expert, but in games we have the level of detail, which is based on distance. We can notice that once you walk close to the object (tree) the object changes to a higher detail version. Then, the shadow follows that.
LODs are important to the game performance, but you need to 'mask' their change. You can set how many LOD levels you need to the game (more versions, more storage, more files).
Hope that gets fixed!
Do not update! This patch will give you 15 fps less than the prelaunch version! Proceed with caution! 🤬
Girl upgrade yo laptop.
@@Stardomplayit’s a guy
@gorillagroddgaming how you know?
@@StardomplayWe are all men until proven otherwise.
Source?
The shadow draw distance is the same with RT vs PT. The difference you're seeing is just because the RT shadows are soft making the pop in less noticeable. If you want to change the draw distance it's an ini file setting (r_lodscale).
you can fix the LOD with Console commands, default is 1 and max is 5... maybe there is a bug that makes imposible to actually change that setting ?
3:57 It's not shadows popping. If you look carefully it's actually tree mesh shimmering and so does the shadow naturally.
Moral of the Story - DO NOT BUY 4K display... Get yourself a nice 1440p monitor and enjoy decent FPS on highest settings.
Completely agree. There is a bit of an issue with everything going 4K these days though. I've been looking to upgrade to an HDR monitor and the largest online store in the country has exactly 1 monitor that's 1440p with HDR and GSYNC. It's making me a bit anxious, but I'll have to wait a bit longer to pick one up as I just spent way too much on an OLED tv and some other expensive toys. Hopefully they'll still exist when I do.
4K DLSS Performance looks better than 1440p DLSS Quality with similar Performance and the same is true for 4K DLSS Quality vs 1440p native. So the actual resolution of your monitor has become almost irrelevant for games. Therefore simply buy what you can afford.
To fix tree pop in etc:
Hit tilde key (~) to open console and type r_lodscale 8
Or put this in config file
Please show more of the city as well in these path tracing ones as it looks awesome. I’m keen for the 4070 super as that’s what I’m running now 😃
Also hopefully the developers are watching this and fix in the shadow pop in and LOD issues
4:01
it's because not of path tracing,
its the tree's texture popping up 😂
Path tracing is realtime lighting producing fully realtime shadows, so even if a tree pops up, it will produce shadow of it ....
So full path tracing is completely available in realtime! Now we can add other long awaited features to new games.What about full soft body, cloth and liquid physics?... Or, at least, better AI-powered NPCs which can conversate with player... Shall we?(c) Of course not, just another daydreaming that never come to life.
This game is the successor of crysis
This game looks very beatiful on Full RT. If I am rich then i would 100% get a 4090 over ANY card and enjoy premium RT experience. For me this is worth it. I am 100% sure the 7900xtx is nowhere close to this performance and the 4080 will have vram issues at 4k.
4090 However is fast enough and has enough vram.
2K gaming is also a dream for everyone, too bad these entire mid-range cards cant handle this.
@@igm1571 1080p is 2k for the same reason that 2160p is 4k
Was waiting for this 😄
Thats why i prefer 2k with 4090. Very fast and visually good
haven't finished the video, but yes, the "shadow pop-in" with PT seems like it's a pop-in but in reality it's just the LOD of the tree model changing, so the shadows follow the model obviously. This theoretically can be fixed by manually increasing the LOD detail distance in the console commands that Digital Foundry showed in their video
400 watts...aight. I guess if your heater ever breaks, you're set. If this continues, I feel like high end SFF PCs with desktop parts aren't going to be a thing. I know that there are architecture improvements, but brute forcing more compute power w/ more energy consumption and higher msrp/unit is not a good trend.
I think we got use to see mirror reflexitions on every surface with RT ON, but i can tell you those reflexions are more close to reality
this game will eat up your setup lmao, with max settings, an rtx 4090 and dlls performance AND frame generation: 60 fps (i have 30 fps in gta v with lowest settings)
He got 90-100 fps with those settings if you watched the video properly.
1440p Supreme PT Medium pulls over 16gb of vram.😬
So how am I getting 100fps in 1440p Supreme, full PT, DLSSQ + FG on a 4080s? Shouldn’t work if it uses more than 16GB of vram.
@@chrisking6695 -_- Yea you are using at 1440P Dlss you gonna have less vram usage. And look for 1%lows
This is why im getting a 5090 for my next build. The only card that looks like an upgrade over the previous gen.
That tree changing shape was causing the "shadow popin".
Crazy how many babies are crying about this game.
Dial in your settings and it looks great, even at 8 GB of VRAM.
I ran it this morning on high settings, high pathtracing, with balanced DLSS on a 4070 Ti Super at 60 - 100 FPS
At 1440p ultra wide Im CPU limited
no way 34 seconds after you posted this video I clicked it D:
Who gives af man
And here I was looking at my 4070 Super... the performance for a 4090 is wild lol
No way those few tree LOD's have a significant impact on performance. They're gonna fix this real soon I think.
The ray traced reflections are more visible in the museum
I saw in the digital foundry video that it’s possible to manually increase the lod settings in the config files
Bro uploads faster than my internet
I genuinely hate dlss, maybe I'm just sensitive to it but as soon as you turn it on, even ultra quality/quality I notice the mild blur. I've noticed it on every game.. As much as it sucks I'd rather stick to native and turn down settings which is a shame since the 4090 costed so much and the really nice looking path tracing games can barely run native 4k
waiting for the RTX5090, such a game should be played at maximum settings
It's not a shadow issue but LOD issue, you can see on the left the tree position changing.
7900xtx next please i want see that sweet 5 fps
AMD cards are banned from running it. Probably due to the explosion hazard.
There are no upscaling options available for amd cards so that’s probably why they’ve not allowed amd cards to turn on path tracing.
@@ramborambokitchenkitchen6357 even if there was a fsr it woud still run very poorly even with frame gen
@@ramborambokitchenkitchen6357 The only reason is that the devs made a deal with nvidia. The game runs great on my 6700 xt and I would love to check out path tracing even if it dropped to 5fps, at least it would be an option. It's not like 4060 is a better gpu but it has the option.
@@matemich01 nothing below the 4070 can handle it. My 4070ti even struggles unless I put texture cache down and use dlss balanced 😂, I can get over 60fps with path tracing but it seems pointless as the standard mode still looks great and I can get 130fps using that.
I guess the option will be added in a patch at some point for amd users.
Again? Reupload?
The settings on the top right were messed up, it was only uploaded for like 10 seconds 😅
This section of the game is one of the least demanding areas. I was getting 80-90 or so FPS with my 3060 at 1440p with high settings (DLSS quality), then I was dropping below 50 in certain areas of the Vatican and Giza. You need to do these tests in the wide-open sections where both the GPU and CPU get stressed more, rather than the first two minutes of the game.
How is this powerhouse of a card on a full load running 54 degrees? Amazing
Strix cooler is amazing 🙂
i feel like i am in a dream and not awake
4k maxed settings with a 4090 get 30fps and arround 20gb vram usage, this is insane
It's only getting heavier from here, these first few full PT games still have a low samples per pixel and light bounces. Doubling the resolution of a texture qudaruples its area, and VRAM requirement. This is likely why Nvidia is leaning so hard on DLSS, they gonna find a way to run at 240p internal for 4k output lmao
The developers are creating demand for 50 series.
@@cosmic_gate476 idk i giggled at that. I can actually see them leaning into this and going even up to 8k while not even rendering native 1080. Crazy with what tricks we can push todays grafics
@@piotrnowak8725what about Cuperpunk? It came out years ago and to this day a 4090 can’t handle it with full PT in 4k as well as it should without DLLSQ and FG. Did they also push the sales of 50 series cards? Maybe but only maybe PT has always been really resource hungry and because current card can’t handle it, it’s not used much? But with the 50 series coming devs can know use it more? Or will that just be stupid marketing to push ppl to buy NVIDIA? It’s all a conspiracy isn’t it?
Dude it's patht tracing. That tech is sci fi stuff. We don't even fully utilize ray tracing and normal human class hardware can't even handle ray tracing.
You don't have to always max everything just because it's there b
When you turned on patch tracing my phone just crashed 😭😂😂😂
We need a LOD Mod asap, what a shame on max settings
My 4080 is crying
KrizzP I know it sounds daft but when you have RT shadows & reflections you can turn original shadow settings to low and original reflections off, not sure it does a lot but I'm getting 50+ most of the time with both RT reflections and shadows with a 3060 @ 1440p DLSS balanced, she is trying! 😂😂
Okay.... I went back to the jungle and was getting 30's with drops into the 20's! 😂🤣🤣
He got screen tearing every other 2 seconds. I couldn't live with that.
What I'm taking from this is that modern graphics improvements are so minimal that buying a high-end graphics card is a waste of money.
Nice video! Will you try PT on the 4060ti?
not even worth it lol it has 8gb
Nope it has 16gb @@KamWysz
@@KamWysz it's not even enable, it only shows in cards with vram above 12gb, what a joke
@@KamWysz There's an 8gb and 16gb version of the card
@@Val-ye6nv It shows up for my 12 GB 4070 Ti, however I had to reduce the texture pool to High (other settings still max) for full PT to not crash instantly. With this setting, DLSS Balanced works fine at 3440x1440, but it's already scraping at 12 GB. The 16 GB 4060 Ti should do really well at 1080p if you have that one.
Glass display cases are a good showcase of the RT reflections
I do like all these graphically improving tech as people with very high end pcs can really experience more visual improvement in their system
Problem is, its coming at the cost of lazy optimising and the game devs thinking these tech will do the work for u, so lower end systems are being more obsolete. Game devs really need to flesh out their games catering to all systems from low end to very high end. These high end options should not be baseline, it should be a luxury option. And its not like games are cheaper now, its really expensive compared to the prices AAA titles were before.
20 GB VRAM WTF
It’s only with FG which eats more vram. FG in my opinion isn’t worth the input lag 🤷🏻♂️
@@mikeramos91 You really defending that high VRAM usage?
@@PinnuskaTV even without FG the vram is ridiculous. Just saying it only hits 20gb with FG. Cyberpunk looks way better & uses around 14gb
@@mikeramos91 absolutely yes !
with PT, cyberpunk can't be defeated by any other game visually imo for me
if you have the VRAM available why shouldn't it be used? It could just be allocated for objects further away. It should be easy for a game to test how much is available on start up then make the most of it.
I get the same frame rate in 1440p but with a RTX 4080. I use full PT + DLSS Quality + FG and 80-90 was in the starting jungle area and 130-140 or more in the Vatican. What is interesting for me that how much frame rate DLSS looses during upscaling because in 4k DLSS Performance is 1080p internal but in 1440p DLSS Quality is 960p (around that).
i want this game just for the graphics. i feel like i owe it to my 4090 / 32" 4K OLED.
Geeez those shadows look so bad without path tracing, so sad to see graphics going backwards
Why do I keep watching these reviews on a 7 year old 720p tablet?
dang! i want to see the 4080 super with this because the vram is quite high! i played it on 4k, DLSS Balanced, and with medium path tracing and got playable fps, but here the 4090 says its just ove 16 gb.
The latest Ngreedia driver ruined some of the performance of the game.
And they said AMD drivers had problems lol
The game has an issue for me and many others where it defaults to the lowest LOD scale (lodscale 1) no matter the graphics settings, to fix open console with ~ and type r_lodscale 2 for example. Experiment between 2 and the max of 10, the higher you go the less fps you get but waaay less pop-in than the default setting. Need to do this every time you load up the game.
I'll be impressed with video cards when all of the bells and whistles can be turned up all the way at a high refresh rate.
Indiana Jones and the Great Pop-In!
I swear pop-in used to be way less noticebale on older games with only raster, not having to resort to ray or path tracing...
The path tracing does look great, but I feel like the pop-in is way more noticable than it should be, even with path tracing.
"WE ARE DESTROYING THE 4090." Meanwhile the GPU is at a cool 60 degrees.
At 4K, why do people either only do Quality DLSS or Performance DLSS? Seems like you would benefit from doing the Balanced by not getting as much fuzziness and also getting a little bit more FPS than at Quality. Wish you'd showcase that option more often
Can it run Indiana Jones? Maybe
This game does not look any better than Shadow of the Tomb Raider but requires a $1600 video card to do the same things. I'm all in for path tracing / ray tracing but not if it costs twice as much to accomplish the same stuff. This is a downgrade. Not an upgrade. Turn on RT or you get shadow pop? Come on.
The graphics card is surely untouchable for more upcoming years, but the games these days have some Diddy stuffs in them.
I'm still in the opinion that games don't need to be realistic, they just need to look or seem realistic. To me what's more important are the animations and the interactivity of the environment. Look at this game, realistic lighting and yet you see a lot of popping in 😅
This makes me wonder wtf they were smoking when they wrote that requirements chart. They said 4090 for Full RT at 4k 60 with DLSS Performance and FG, when that setup actually gets 100+ FPS.
Anyone saying this game has “bad graphics” is smoking crack
Just go outside and look at some plants, you don't need a 4090 to render plants
Game companies are now very comfortable with the idea you can ship a tech demo and make money
Just go outside into the jungle. Just go to 1936. Just turn into Indiana jones.
How are you gonna make a game this beautiful and then do this with the LoD? 23:41
if you want to see where RT reflections show a lot, go into one of those marble buildings in the city.
