PS5 Tech Demo Showcases Ridiculous Graphics Of Unreal Engine 5

@ApexMjolnir: RTX is a brand name of a Nvidia graphics card. Remove the "X" off the end to make it look at least a little bit like you know what you are talking about. This demo didn't use ray tracing. It used a new improved version of global illumination they are calling Lumen.

@ApexMjolnir: wrong. Epic confirmed no RTX was used in that demo and also confirmed UE6 will be fully compatible with RTX. So there will be stuff running Lumen and RTX. You should try to get information instead of making stuff up to try and sound smart.

@ecs35: Because Ray Tracing is handled at the core level, it removes a lot of the stress from the coding system. No longer will developers need to use Extra texture maps to do things like Reflective/refractive surfaces... the GPU already handles that, simply add a switch to the code, and it knows what values to apply.

It's similar to breathing. You don't have to think about breathing 99% of the time. It's gets more labored the harder you work, and there are limitations to how much oxygen you can extract from the air you inhale, but for the most part, you still exhale oxygenated air that is basically wasted.

When you consider this to be how a GPU handles a bunch of data, What it does natively, is much more important than HOW it is provided to the GPU. Our lungs are looking ONLY for the oxygen. If you filter out all of the air, and provide your lungs ONLY oxygen, they don't have to work as hard. This means that you would not need them to take up 70% of your chest cavity. It also allows your Heart to work more efficiently, because the strain is lifted. The rest of your body would also follow in quality.

When you apply this to graphics, Feeding the GPU easier bits of data to filter, makes the process that much better. RTX itself, is making frame rates go UP, not down. Once developers truly understand how the technology works, and that they don't need to make 7 different texture maps just to make a prop look realistic, they can start focusing on providing the games they make, the information they need.

Our lungs don't want nitrogen filtered out... our body needs it as an electrolytic catalyst. Infact, our lungs extract a LOT of things from the air we breath... And once they get the oxygen that they were looking for in one of your breathes, they don't even extract Oxygen at all... leaving them the ability to let you stop and smell the roses, without processing anything at all...

@ecs35: The pro edition was the Xbox X, Sony hasn't even dabbled in 4k, not even a 4k player, where as microsoft started it off with Xbox S(4k player), then expanded on the 4K capabilities with Xbox X, seeing how they already have an idea, I'm betting on Microsoft to get it right, they've already stated it's capable of hitting 120fps, but it's up to the developers....

@twogirlsonecub: You grossly overestimate the difference between the systems.

Grow up people. The only console war that exists is the advertising hype war they're waging on US, not on each other.
