DICE Prepares "Battlefield V" RTX/DXR Performance Patch: Up to 50% FPS Gains

[r9]

"Optimization" = reduce level of DXR.
Full optimization DXR off.

So Nvidia, forcing DICE to make the quality lower to raise it again in a vain attempt to make it look good, now with 50% more of the thing, not the details though, those are extra or only for AMD cards.

"Nvidia, the way its meant to be blurred."

"Nvidia, the way customers are meant to be lied to"

Vya - can you please source those images... many thanks!

EDIT: From the NVIDIA video???????

Here are some more shots from that vid........ give me a sec......I dont think this forums supports PNG so there are compression artifacts... but its for the whole image so.................

EDIT: Sorry watching and listening to the vid at the same time Im running across these images to paste. That scene there with the discrepancies in the gun, is interesting. In the video, details go high/low high/low and you see those scratches go on and off so that is definately different. Its going to depend on the scene it seems.

EDIT: Overall, its great to see such large improvements in such a short period of time. And, in most cases, without a seeming drop in visual quality (more testing needs to happen). It seems for RT, its putting it where it should be with the variable RT. I have no idea what that gun was reflecting, before the patch. Kind of makes sense to me to reduce that noise.

It looks like to 2080 Ti in the first scene below looks almost identical, but when you go to 2080 medium (Vya's pic), there is a difference. If you look at the same scene with the 2070 on low, they look nearly identical as well. Not sure what is up with medium in this scene... its def more blurry.

Either way good to see the performance improve, and not surprising to see people play it down.

Open source PhysX, and trying to bring ray tracing to games... I mean how dare they.

Mud is now ice? Why is there so much different in rendering? Why the huge change in gamma?

 

[EarthDog]

That is a slightly different angle there and, I would guess its getting more of the background light? It looks natural when in the video...

Might just be a Mercury coating.

Those look like traditional specular reflections on top of the ray traced one, weird.

Many, not that much, games are looking great nowadays. Game on!

It's always the same: TICK: more performance but with more power costs. TACK: same performance at less power costs.

Live on!

Ehhh this should have been done BEFORE launch...

Ahhh, but then not many would have bought it! Profits before substance young one!

 

[Fluffmeister]

RT is a bonus at this point, the card batters AMD's best whilst using no more power than a 12nm Polaris, although to be fair that is a power hungry pig of a card.

Well then they couldn't get a second round of publicity for free!

 

[Fluffmeister]

So what is the deal? Is Navi expected to beat the GTX 1080 Ti? I mean I love all this whiny bitching, but for the love of God, I want my Nv hardware cheaper.

That would be great, but let's compare it to the 1080Ti, and what it could have been shrunk, and with higher clockspeed and the same architecture improvement.

Jesus man... the rheotoric... turn it down a few notches.

No need, the GTX 1080 Ti still batters the competiton, sad to see it apparently go EOL without any.

But then we all know people would just moan it's just a die shrunk 1080 Ti too, what a cruel circle.

Who would had thought that there where massive optimisations to come on such a cutting edge technology right ???

Just more cheats they could mostly hide. You can only optimize and degrade quality so much to meet expectations lol

Remember the Image Quality wars. Where everything was looked over with a fine comb. Just recently its been talked about if it ain't in focus it doesn't need to be rendered at full detail..

I wouldn't call massive optimization to culling out rays (omitting them from the scene or objects). It just speaks to hardware not being fast enough at this stage. What are the penalties for introducing the rest of the RTX techniques.

Slideshow.

No one's keen on IQ comparisons, anymore. Nvidia lags in this department. But idiots don't care and would buy it, regardless, so I guess that's why.

AMD should put out an "nvidia perf driver edition" lulz

with every Big Dev on the scene working on titles to run on the opponents hardware and the same again on the horizon what Move did they have to play , they tried walled garden , games moved on,

I agree though good to see performance hit my bottom metric of worth a shit ,ie 1440p at decent Fps, at least with some so there is hope.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Indeed, your move AMD. I keep forgetting you guys are basically at GTX 1080 level... ouch.

 

[Xzibit]

Looks like the DLC is delayed

The team has discovered an issue with the #Battlefield Chapter 1: Overture update. Rather than create issues in the game, we’re holding the update for the time being. We don’t anticipate a long delay and we’ll be back with more news tomorrow or as soon as we have it.

Cheating graphics in order to achieve decent visuals and framerates is the whole point of this industry so how does this change from usual ?

They improved visual quality but you cried about your fps now that they give you more fps you cry about visual quality ..... in medical terminology that disease is called schizophrenia .... oh wait i forgot you want both decent fps and visual quality in the 1st iteration of a technology that used to be the holy grail of this industry up untill now ... how silly am i .....

Simply the fact that you are able to do live raytracing with a single GPU ( even in it's actual far from perfect form ) should give a big smile to everyone and it's mother but the truth is ignorance runs the world so you end up with comments like yours ! Im i saying RTX implementation is perfect as it is / everyone should run and buy RTX card right now ? HECK NO ... but that's not a reason to silently watch so many ingorants trying to downplay such a revolutionary step just because they can't afford or they don't understand the massive potential of this technology !
