Gator Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Ray tracing vs. path tracing — dynamic lighting methods compared | Digital Trends WWW.DIGITALTRENDS.COM Ray tracing and path tracing are two advanced lighting effects that are making modern games look amazing, but which is better and how do they work? Quote
NetRngr Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Nice find! I gotta say when it comes to character lighting, and how it affects realism of the character model, ray tracing is pretty danged hard to beat but honestly path tracing in an environment looks pretty danged good and puts less strain on your system boosting FPS and thus overall game fluidity. My new rig is pretty danged beefy but is not the top of the line gear but it has been able to handle anything i throw at it. That said I dont have anything running ray tracing going at the moment so i dont know what the impact would be. I've been playing WoW again and the new rig runs at 100+ FPS in a raid instance on ultra settings with full particle effects just swimmingly. I am planning on monkeying with the settings some not because of a lack of performance or lag issues but simply with all the particle effects jacks through the ceiling sometimes it's a bit hard to see and sometimes I violate rule number one of raiding... dont stand in shit on the ground hahaha.
