- Resident Evil 7 Biohazard Ray Tracing Comparison (featuring Ray-Traced Reflections and Global Illumination)
➡️️ Full ON/OFF Playlist: • Minecraft RTX - Ray Tr...
Maxed out Settings (except for chromatic abberation, dof), native resolution.
Recorced and uploaded in 1440p.
This is a native ray tracing implementation and not a reshade mod.
Even with real-time ray tracing still being in its infancy, I believe RT will become more important with current and coming generation hardware, so I created this channel with the intention of covering ray-traced games. There are plenty of channels doing mainly performance comparisons, my intention is to focus on the visual aspect and make the differences more obvious through my videos.

honestly I think this just gets to show how good the lighting was in the first place. If it gets this close to actual RT technology, hats off
I'd imagine most of it is baked lighting which is a pretty good approximation to proper raytracing, the problem is that changes can often be made to a scene after a bake or sacrifices have to be made to quality. For a game like this it makes sense to just bake because everything is static lighting for the most part.
no the RT is just badly implemented lol
Thought the same. The backed lighting in RE7 is the best in the genre.
gd point man!
Actual there wasn't even actual lighting
It was just smartly shaded texture
THIS is the prime example of how Comparison videos channels should do their work
It seems to improve some areas but makes others look worse. :/
It seems like all the Resident Evil RT implementations have been pretty subtle so far, but I think this was a pretty good showing. IMO, the RTGI in REengine games has seemed pretty subtle so far but the improved shading really adds some depth to the indoors scenes.
The reflections seem a little rough with the ghosting and blur but - and I believe this for RE2 as well - anything beats the way these games handled SSR before.
The addition of RT to all of these games has been a really nice touch to some already stellar titles, and what I'd really like to see in the future is better support for more mirror-like reflections on smoother surfaces instead of the rougher, slower-to-update system they seem to be sticking with.
(And a capped framerate for when the framerate for when the ray tracing mode in one of these games can't hit 60 but stays comfortably above 30 - but thats beside the point.)
I really like some of the additional detail with global illumination though, even if the reflections are meh. All that extra shadowing under furniture makes the games look even more moody.
True. I think RTGI graphics option in the 4 RE games (2, 3, 7, 8) is simply amazing. It is pretty light and easy to run for any modern GPU, yet it makes these games look significantly more appealing, like true horror games. What a shame the devs removed RTGI option from RE4 Remake. That is the reason why it looks less atmospheric (mostly during indoor scenes) that any of those 4 games. Yet they somehow decided to keep those super low res RT reflections, which barely improve image quality of this game.
I've seen loads of RT comparison videos for RE PS5 since it came out and I must say this is the first one that knows what to show and how! (Then I saw the name of the channel 😆)
2:17 definitely looks wrong missing shadows under the car
I think he got the scenes switched up when editing, the grass looks like it has SSAO applied to it when it seems to be disabled in the rest of the clips with RT.
@@archivedfrytoastfrill9675 yeah that makes sense lol
Even the power of Ray Tracing cannot find Ethan Winters' body or head.
It looks really good with the raytrace amount set to low. Darker lighting, and more atmospere.
The lack of AO is such a missed opportunity
The RTGI is doing a lot of AO on it's own fortunately.
I agree with you choosing reflections instead of ambient occlusion is just ridiculous. Sadly basically every game that implements RT afterwards uses reflections.
@@AdamMi1 reflections were an excellent choice for RE considering the RE engine has some of the worst screen space reflections I’ve ever seen
They actually did a pretty good job with screen spaced reflections in this new updated version it you have raytracing disabled....I'm quite happy with them cause the game looks better with them and they are not causing your performance to suffer as opposed to raytracing...
2:11 that is wrong. the second is ray tracing OFF not ON. Clearly
Ooh, some of those ghosting pudddle reflections look more distracting than the screen space / cube map solution… still overall it looks pretty good. Some reshade AO would probably tie it all together too
I've tried all 3 of the upgraded games with and without RT and personally I felt using RT mode was a waste. You experience frame drops that are noticeable and the reflections and such that are so easy to see in a video like this are really missed during actual gameplay because you're more focused on playing the game and not just standing around looking at reflections. Also, why does water disappear when using RT for this???
The water doesn't disappear, it just got correct reflections. The reason you can see it better with RT off is that the game used a cube map(probably a low res skybox) embedded in the shader and screen space reflections for near by objects. In the outside scene with the van you can see that the larger trees or far away objects are not covered by screen space reflections so the puddles are reflecting a blue sky and a little bit of the gate in the background. That's why you can see them better with RT off. But to me it blooks a lot more realistic with RT on.
What's the reason behind the ghosting effect at 1:30??? It shouldn't be there
@@piotrponury1250 probably some janky accumulation implementation so that you don't need to trace a whole bunch of rays at once & instead accumulate the reflection over time. It just doesn't seem to take movements into account very well.
Yeah pretty much this RT deal is not as great here. Sometimes it even looks worse with RT.
@@psycho0815 nah, looks better with it off.
The mirror reflection was awesome
Unlike RT Reflections, RTGI Contribution is very minimal, which is overlayed on top of an already well lit/shaded environnement with prebaked lightmaps (Ideal for static lights and props).
There are some cases where the old technique holds up better than the dynamic solution (Exp: 2:08) mainly because of the difference in the number of bounces (so many with longer time of rendering vs 1ray bounce in real time).
I think SS RTGI could do a better job as a secondary shader that enhances the small details (AO/IL: Contact Shadows, Color bleeding)
I think that part at 2:08 may be a mess up on his end, that looks like he accidentally reversed the rtx tags on the scene in video edit, cause the exterior house part looks like the right order
@@Tycholarfero I went back and checked, its definitely the correct order. I agree it looks odd with RT on though.
yeah, i've noticed that the whole intro in the daytime looks weird with RT on. When i first started i thought there was something wrong with my graphics settings or something.
That's strange, wonder if it's an unintentional thing cause for the most part the RT looks pretty good, maybe some probe issue then
You make superb comparison videos… I wish you made comparisons outside of RT too just for graphics in general
I noticed that it renders at quarter res on console, made lower due to the half horizontal reconstruction.
Better or just different? The Resident Evil 2 update, overall, was amazing, but it's not always apparent. Real-time ray-tracing seems to make a difference in certain scenes, but developers are very good at baking lights and tweaking stuff to look its best. I bought a RTX 3000 card for iRay rendering, but it is sometimes impressive with games that use the technology.
How is it that RT is removing reflections from surfaces altogether ?
The ghosting in the RT reflections is really ruining it even being there honestly.
Nice, now I suddenly have a craving to watch 'the burning', awesome track.
Is it me or do many things look better with RTX turned off? They messed up the car for one thing. It looks like it's floating with RT on
It seems ambience occlusion was off on that scene. Probably a bug or uploader disable it
@@LeafyTheLeafBoy Interesting. I'll find out when I re-install it and play it through again with the RT update
Can you make comparison videos on Dying Light 2 like Digital Foundry did? Like turning each setting on. That game is gorgeous
the puddles reflectivity were reduced SO MUCH
Maybe for performance reasons?
Edit: I guess thats the denoiser effect
Its just like Minecraft RTX all over again
Could be, the RT reflections aren't that impressive in the Resident Evil games in my opinion, they seem fairly low resolution and have a ghosting effect where when you move, the reflection gets blurred. Maybe thats the reason they don't reflect as much, to mask these issues.
But the artifacts with screen space reflections in RE7 and particularely RE2 are pretty bad, so its a tradeoff.
@@RayTracingRevolution tbh its better than SSR/Cubemaps
@Salt Maker amd on their way to ruin every game from the technical side they sponser
@@kingx1180 Wouldn't have to be that way if Nvidia weren't so closed off about their tech. AMD is the only one that makes things for all users.
@@icydec3346 So companies should just hand out their hardware they spend R&D money on for free to other companies???
I doubt that's going to work long-term.
So RT off is better and save more space. Thanks for the video!
Wait where did the shadows dissappear over the car in RT, that shouldn't be a part of the old rasterized gi
If you look closely there still is a shadow outline on the hood of the car, but it's much, much less pronounced as the whole scene is brighter.
@@RayTracingRevolution sure, but if the shadows were shadowmaps, they should'nt dissappear because of replaced GI
Ray Tracing aside (not much but pretty good), they should've have fixed some of the anti aliasing in this game.
It's funny how character is not being reflected though... And that is because the character is headless. LOL.
Same thing in cyberpunk lol
Did you make this comparison on console? Looks like they removed some puddles and geometry to get it to run at a certain performance target. That’s u fortunate. I noticed on PC even they removed some things to introduce ray tracing
All my videos are on PC (except for GTA 5 which doesn't have an enhanced edition on PC yet)
More likely they removed it for artistic style and due to the way the world has been built. Like outside puddles. The skybox is really retarded and when it reflects such skybox it just looks weird.
@@RayTracingRevolution got it!
I wasn't aware RE7 had RT. Was this patched in later or is this a mod?
It’s an update
This is definitely better but pretty subtle, wonder if the performance cost is more reasonable.
For me I'm still getting 60 fps with the ray tracing on.
@@Pdrum2 Same
The irony of raytracing is that it really shows when in movement in rooms. Places look more real because the light doesn't get where it shouldn't. The reflections on the other hand feel pushed in most cases, I wanna see raytraced cars instead of broken windows and mud pools.
The GI/ambient occlusion really makea a difference here.
I know you guys didnt think much about this but, since this update, all the EXTREME stuttering from all 3 games are gone. This update made me enjoy 2 of the 3 games .
2:08 - you confuse rtx off and on at this scene
I've noticed it adds more color.
I hope you can do a video of Hellblade too sometime. It got Ray Tracing upgrade november 2021.
I was working on Hellblade actually, but exams got in the way. I will definitely still finish that video.
how i add ray tracing in the game, i have a rtx2060
So with RT mirrors works... partially.
i love this channel . awesome videos even better than digital foundry .
these games needed ray tracing .the scenes seem natural with ray tracing though ray tracing is not at dying light 2 level but really better than fake rasterized crap effects .
"better than digital foundry" Pfff. These two channels are very different and shouldn't be compared. DF specializes in game technology as a whole, not just ray tracing.
I'll take the compliment, but DFs production quality and knowledge is an entirely different level 🙂
@@RayTracingRevolution keep making these videos bro ur vids are awesome .i love to see the magic of ray tracing and ur videos shows it to me better than any other channels even better than df .
@@RayTracingRevolution Nonethless your channel highlights more differences in videos. It’s very useful and I hope you gain more subs.
What's the distorted reflections (at 1.30) issue about? Can this be fixed. It's kinda anoying I must say. Any solution on this one?
I'm playing through RE7 again first time since 2017 , Ray Traced version + 4k Textures, a mod that replaces FSR 1.0 with the latest DLSS, DLDSR, removed the vignette. AND hex edit to the .exe to turn off the blurry in game AA. The result is the game looks razor sharp. Still fantastic gfx everywhere and not a jagged line to be seen anywhere.
Dldsr with dlss? So basically dlaa?
@@EnduroTrailRiding yes DLAA & DLDSR work at the same time
@@nothingelse1520 where did you get the mod to replace fsr? Are you playing at 4k?
The changes are so subtle it doesn't even seem worth turning RT on, cuz all you will notice is the performance hit :\
Ethan its a vampire. Still not reflecting on mirrors
看不出有什麼分別😂有些畫面off表現反而比較好🤔🤔
Why does RTX look worse than Original, I though Capcom was improve the lighting for now but they won't
This game could use some improvements in the textures, even in the highest configs It's still kinda blurry when u get too close, still love it tho.
With ray tracing 60 fps?
Wow, it did came out already?
GI is pretty good looking , but the reflections are a little weird.
Probably the weakest implementation i've seen so far.
The prologue and the ship places are the worst, but everything in the house is nearly perfect
Imma say no to this one
Also.. is it my or is AO super aggressive?
Is this like.. 1 light bounce or something?
How to turn on in game ??
Wait, rt is in re7?
It is now after an update, it wasn’t there at launch
@@RayTracingRevolution im downloading it right now 😂
I just hate how it needs to be installed on the ssd on ps5/xsx now.
Reflections is where I saw the biggest difference.
how to turn on RT
Amazing!
Capcom with this game be like: "wayy ahead of you pal".
Just sick of them trying to cover AMD RDNA2's almost non-existent RT capability by implementing RT effects that are too subtle while not adding DLSS or FSR 2.0 into the game
Not sure why they chose RT reflections. I'd say RTGI goes well with RT shadows. The SSR looks pretty bad though, there are better ways to implement that.
Came to see this cause I didn’t notice anything too major with ray trace on (aside from my 100-120 fps dipping to 30-50fps). Def keeping it off since my laptop can’t handle it. Tho I guess I could just reduce resolution and graphics if I really wanted RT on…but rather just play on max graphic settings. Meh
it looks worse with it. better off just uping the textures to max if you can. ya they rushed it. I bet if they did it the right way and took some months to correctly implement it, it would look way better. the reflections look like the water is solid/foggy and the wall reflections go dull
Global illumination is by far the best use of ray tracing. Not reflections. 1 it saves time for devs. But also creates much more realistic worlds. Reflections are negligible in most cases.
its cool but ill take 144 FPS over the janky performace the 3050 gets with it on
I feel like there isn't much benefit to Ray tracing unless you make the game around it (like Metro Exodus: Enchanced edition did for example)
plz make a chernobilyte video .thanx
Yes, Mushroom invisible. Thanks Capcom.
I hate that blurry and ghosty implementation of RT that most games have... Doom Eternal literally makes reflections almost crystal clear and it performs ridiculously well, there is simply no excuse for other games to look this bad.
Wow most of those shots looked better with RT off. I think a game has to be made from the beginning with RT in mind otherwise it just isn't as effective.
Looks worse in almost every example imo. Lighting was fine already
2:14 much better without Ray Tracing wtf
ray tracing doesn't make the game scary
Nobody comments on this terrible ghosting in RT reflections?
It's really bad.
Some scenes looks better with no ray tracing on and other better with it on so it's a bit of a mix bag for me. You would of thought being as the game isn't a fast paced and there isn't really a lot of things going on as your more or less walking around most of the time they would of put in much more full ray tracing support for pc as there are now better graphics cards that can handle ray tracing specially now we in that era with the 4000's cards around the corner.
Also a game like this as its a horror vibe with corridor's and light shadow's coming from all angles with lanterns etc they could of taken full advantage to it instead they went with the crap boring slight effect that really doesn't do much to it and isn't really worth having on it's a bit like shadow of the tomb raider you don't really notice it and causes more artifact with it on
Es más realístico sí
I have a slight feeling that the RT implementation actually hurts the overall atmospehere and graphics instead of improving on them...
Ray tracing difference not worth half fps drop
not really a big change actually its like skyrim with graphic mods
I really can't tell much of a difference lol
Doesn’t do enough for the frame rate suck
its not beeter at all,lolllll
Minimal diference
RT off wins hahah
RT off is better.
MY RX 6800XT PC
RAY TRACING OFF = 200 PLUS FPS
RAY TRACING ON = 40 FPS 🙄
Lol, I still have 60fps with my rtx 3050 (without fsr)
@@danniel7480 No No . I wasa talking about ray tracing in demanding games like dying light 2 and cyberpunk. I was getting 90 fps at 4k max ray tracing and fsr off in resident evil village. Resident evil games are not ray tracing heavy so your rtx 3050 is more than adequate.
Whitout ray tracinh is better
Ray tracing will only be worth it the day costs only like 2 fps instead of 20
its sucks, original is better
Phahahah :D I kicked that one in the head. Minus 40% fps for the sake of near-zero picture changes. Resident evil 7 needed only one fix, HDR fix which in past patches was incredibly dark, and when trying to add brightness, bright lights became completely, unnaturally white, which spoiled the immersion. RTX was never needed for this game, the changes are too insignificant. You will have much more fun playing 4K 144+ FPS than 4K 60FPS with RTX, I assure you. RTX is needed by old games with inherently poor lighting, like Portal, it has really been transformed beyond recognition.
Looks better without it.
For me the only real thing the ps5 version is worth is for the loading times
