Neon 33 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 For anyone wondering about this, you will only be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 using ray tracing through Nvidia at first. They are planning on working with AMD to introduce the feature as soon as they can. If you happen to have an RX 6800 or RX 6800XT, you will have to wait a bit longer. I can't imagine people will be able to buy them anytime soon though since every time they come in stock, they are sold out in minutes. Nvidia still has the edge with dedicated RT cores but AMD has loads of potential here. Quote Not for the release but we are working together with AMD to introduce this feature as soon as we can. — Marcin Momot (@Marcin360) November 20, 2020 Link to post
Helixblood 20 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I always hear of people talking about the RX AMD cards, more so than the Nvidia but this could just be the circle I am in. I am sure both are just as popular as their counterpart. I am glad they are going to get it working for AMD owners though. Link to post
RiotRaven 26 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 How long as ray tracing been a thing? I only just started hearing about it this year but I am certain it has been around for awhile now. I would imagine more brands will hop on board with it in the next 5 years as well. Link to post

The concept has been around for awhile but it only started hitting the mainstream in 2017 I believe. It is a HUGE advancement for gaming to say the least. Link to post
Beanbag 24 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 This is the future of gaming. This is what is going to push PC ahead of console once more just as it started to catch up. It is going to be interesting to see where things go from here. I wish I had one of these cards. 1 Link to post

Of for sure. Once they get this to be the baseline and affordable, things are going to blow up. I mean we think graphics look good now, just wait another 5 to 10 years tops, they will be mind blowing. It will be like going from 1996 to 2016. Link to post
Milly 33 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I am not very informed about this technology. I too only started just hearing about it recently so I won't pretend I have any clue about it. Based on what I read though, it sounds like gaming is going to be kicked up to a whole other level in the near future! Link to post

I get the general concept of it and I am sure this will be the norm for gaming in the near future. I feel like this will also boost VR gaming as well. Maybe we will see a Cyberpunk 2077 VR edition in 5 years. 1 Link to post
Bomberman86 25 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I mean I am not surprised. Nvidia kind of lead the way and made a path for this technology. There are some pros and cons when you compare it to AMD but overall, both are going to play an important role in gaming. Link to post

I don't recall who started the innovation for this but I don't think it was Nividia. They just seemed to get a handle on it and "perfect" it in a way first. 1 Link to post
Cripto 20 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I wonder why they aren't having it out the gate. Seems strange because I had thought both AMD and the other were both competing at this point. Link to post
