After playing through some games Cyberpunk is def one of the best RT games to play. But its not really worth the frame drop. Id much rather get 100+ frames then better visuals.

which one is RT ON btw?im not kiddin

thanks, you just saved me $100 😭😭😭

i watched this without really knowing what Ray Tracing does. Picked non RTX 80% of the time. So yeah... i'm not getting Nvidia anytime soon

Facebook marketplace allows for finding some great deals, but the no comeback means I'll only buy if the seller allows me to test the item out. I prefer mismatched PC ,ideally in a bad looking case. The weak part can be used in a more budget build (or sold) to be replaced with a more balanced part and the old or bad looking case can easily be replaced with a budget case that looks miles better. I've seen the same thing with storage in that I find it easier to just buy a 1tb nvme drive off amazon. Sometimes ddr4 ram is still worth buying off ebay as it can be cheap, but as you say its worth checking the price of new ram as sometimes the price difference is so small. If I need a new case I nearly always buy brand new, as selling with the original box makes it easier for a buyer to transport the pc home and gives them more confidence in the sale. Great video.

First two games were easy to tell even if the difference wasn't much, the later games were much more difficult to tell the difference. The difference is there but overall when you're playing a game rather than looking for the small differences it would be very hard to tell the difference. Would have been nice to know the performance hit to judge whether its worth it. Personally I don't use ray tracing and prefer playing at 1440p with High settings rather than going for Ultra settings with ray tracing. If I had a much powerful GPU then maybe I would reconsider.

Excellent video. I came across your channel because I was considering the case that you used and wanted to know whether the 2 side fans were reverse fan in-take as it would effect what additional fans I bought. Thanks for the answer that its all exhaust fans. The PC you built is so close to the one I'm going to put in the case. Ryzen 5700G, 32gb ram & MSI Supreme RTX 3070. I went with a thermalright air tower cooler, but the aio you used (while overkill) is an insane price at £53. Very professional video, my only recommendation would be to make the msi afterburner overlay bigger so it can be easily seen. An easy sub from me.

Really hard to distinguish which one it is , the psu or gpu , because in my pc they are really close together , and to be fair , I think it s both , but yeah , thanks for the tutorial anyway

No.

Looks like it's still a gimmick that isn't worth the dip in performance

It's great on old Games like Black Mesa, but newer games with the plethera of lighting effects baked in, I'm not so sure.

I completely removed coil whine by downloading a AMD driver from 2023......

No my 1300w PSU just does it as soon as I turn it on...

Ahh yes spend 100$ more for some better shadows

I don't think the changes for general lighting are as important to me. The techniques the use to fake it are good enough. What I'm more interested in is replacing the techniques that suck and distract me. I hate SSR but all I could ever do is turn it off. In cyberpunk, it's worth the loss of 30ish fps to get accurate reflections that don't vanish at the wrong viewing angle.

I love path tracing. Without it, everything in game look flat

Elden Ring only has RT shadows

Still so many users that do not have a powerfull enough GPU to turn on raytracing and actualy get a playable frame rate and enjoyable game... Untill this happens the ratio of haters to lovers will always be much higher.

Comparing just a single frame doesnt realy show how good / bad RTX is... You need to be able to move the camera and see the reflections and shadows and the way these effects propigate around the scene as you move. This is what adds to the realisum and makes you belive the image is closer to reality and there for more imersive.

Got them all wrong hahaha

It's much better looking but hits the system hard

Rt on looks natural and more realistic

All that said should i buy a 4070Super or a rx7800xt ? helppppp

Raytracing is only really useful *if the games lighting was designed to make full use of it* Thats it. Otherwise, like in call of duty, you wont miss out on ANYTHING But Metro Exodus? hmmm some scenes make it completely worth it.

I think i was at a 50/50. And this i the point, when you have a dev who cares about cube-maps for example and good implemented lighting, RT is less noticeable. People use RT to justify big spends on Graphic carts when this is nothing more then a graphic feature that comes with a high cost. The overall performance was quite bad in this gen from NVIDIA especially, but this is the price when you push RT performance instead. With the 5090 they showed a significant boost in rastorization performance and people kind of freak out about it, but in fact it is really just needed to be that much because in this gen they underperformed. RT looks good from the bump up, but this card will cost a lot obviously again. Overtime RT will be more present. Better optimized and in static environments you can bake in rt shadows, i think the CS devs did that?. We will see. For me the best use of RT is when it comes to reflections. A lot of work to spare for the devs and definitely easier to notice.

I got it wrong a few times. I have an RX 6800 (and a few years old now), I can enable RT in a few games and I don't see the benefit. In some games it really only drops FPS to unplayable levels. AMD and Intel do seem to be chipping away at it, but I think they're aware for most games it's not worth it. Especially if you consider the price differences. But yeah, we've all seen the demos of ray and path tracing that make older games look amazing... But I still think we're in that demo period - but do need to to make it a viable tech down the line for anyone outside of the very top Nvidia cards. I should say more casual games like Forza and CoD the AMD implementation works fine, but I just don't notice a real difference and FPS is fine too.

I got them all right. IMHO RTX on makes water look more wet, bright lights are crisper and shadows/reflections do slightly better. I don’t bother with it to be honest. Of course I’m 42 so the ultra real detail doesn’t really appeal to me as someone who grew up playing 8/16 bit games on the regular.

I noticed after upgrading to 32gb ram some games using as much as 25gb in 1440p, so games can use the extra ram. I imagine moreso at 4k

Depends on the game. Cyberpunk and witcher 3 with rt update do look noticeably better with rt. But i noticed little difference with pathtracing on in cyberpunk, just lower fps. So i leave that off

Unfortunately coil whine has to do nothing with cooling system on a GPU, so even on Zero RPM mode graphics card can produce slight coil whine (thats how it is for me). Coil whine is generated by the electrical components (inductors and capacitors) on the GPU and is not related to the mechanical operation of the fans. So basically the only thing you can do is deal with it, wear headphones and forget about the problem.

After training myself on RTX on and off I was able to subconsciously identify RTX on but I consciously can't tell the difference.

there is SO MUCH WRONG with how video games FAKE reflections, that you only start noticing with rtx, to a point, where "once you do black you never go back", as all the fakery gets more noticeable and immersion-breaking, unless the style is consistently simplified/cartoony (where rtx is least useful and good visual design is key), like for example in "outer wilds". screen-space reflections (of water) have the huge issue, that they falsely-reflect skyscrapers, that are too far away from the reflective surface to really reflect it there, just because you can directly see them, the screenspace-reflection can just not reflect large-scale-distances correctly. RTY shadows make foliage look significantly better. rtx-patched-in-witcher3 shines here. even without foliage, RTX Shadows getting blurrier with distance-to-occluder becomes VERY noticeable with scale. This hugely changes space-themed games. Global-Illumination also adds a LOT to all genres with larger scope (you can see a horizon and fly/walk to it), you start to hate rasterized shadows rather quickly. Codsworth the flying robot in fallout4 has well done environment-map-reflections THAT ARE VERY WRONG while Codsworth is in the corner of a room, because fallout4 did not do enough sphere-maps in room-corners (that eat up memory), in favor of console-compatibility.

I got coil whine at 120 fps man . I am so mad right now man😭😭😭😭

Great eSports card, nuff said.

Thanks for this! I loved all the comparisons (and I could barely tell the difference)

It's a very well marketed feature but in reality the tradeoff with performance is still too high.

I definitely can tell the difference instantly from the fps drop. Graphically not really. My eyes more trained for watching framerate since I start pc gaming in the 90's using Riva TNT 8MB lol.

Awesome my pc is just like this

I prefer rtx on in cyberpunk, my GPU on the other hand hates me when I do that to it lol

I may get called a "filthy casual" saying this but I really can't tell the difference

Reflections is cool on raytracing. I think reflections more noticeable.

Are we all just going to ignore how funny the 'Don't have the capacity 😢" actually was. Big AMD fan, but that made me laugh 😅

At 3:55 you state "in NVidia Control Panel, I was a t 1.1 volts" where in the control panel does it show this? And are you able to safely adjust frequencies while you have a game open and running?

I bought this card its amazing. Great transcoding godsend

None of them were right💀

Ray tracing is the worse!!!

I can tell just when you move the camera up and down screen space reflections will disappear ray traced reflections won’t. But in all reality when you’re moving through environments fast screen space reflections are very convincing nowadays.

Yep never buy a second hand mob and a cheap psu .a cheap psu melted the 4 pin connector on my mob and its chipset get smoked so i need a replacement and dont have budget for new so bought an second hand and man that mob give me headaces

Elden Ring has the shittiest implementation of RTX.

Ray Tracing add real-time reflections and some bouncing. The real Ray Tracing is called Path Tracing, this one really makes difference, as it adds real-time reflections and light bouncing/spreading. Cyberpunk is the only game where you will notice the differences well, but it's not worth playing RT with low frames vs. non RT with good frames.
