New Nvidia Card Features


(m0) #1

Will DB take advantage of any of the new features in the RTX 20xx series cards? I assume there are features in UE4 that cant be available, but they showed off that super sampling and that seems doable.


#2

It’s more than unlikely that the devs will devote any work into that, if it’s even possible in the first place. Dirty Bomb is built on UE3, by the way.


(Terminal_6) #3

I can’t claim to know how raycasting works or what kind of effort it would take for the devs to work it into DB, but seeing as the 20xx series is going to be a sizeable price hike, and will make up a minority of DB players, I doubt SD will even have it on the drawing board for a while. (or ever at all, assuming raycasting goes mainstream in the future, as Nvidia predicts)

I believe it was demo’d with Tomb Raider and Metro? Those are some big developers, so I’d expect only those types of games to utilize RTX stuff for the next year or so of games.


(m0) #4

I assumed the ray casting was out, but they did say something about super sampling via that ai server farm. That seemed within reason. I’m sure there are other improvements to the cards that weren’t showcased at the event that may help.

Just trying to guage which card to buy. I’m due for an upgrade.

Any news when they will be in stores?
