I thought i'd make a thread here for a change.
I am a PC gamer primarily, not only this but i own an AMD card. AMD cards do not do well with raytracing, specifically NVIDIA raytracing. While Nvidia cards excel at that kind of stuff we're left in the dust. This doesn't bother me that much seeing as how i don't really care that much about RTX, but people say that it's the future and raytracing will be a requirement for every game.
I am prefacing with this because as you all know, Epic just updated Fortnite Chapter 4 to Unreal Engine 5.1 and the game now has really, really realistic lighting. it's damn impressive actually. Now, whether or not the game runs well on AMD cards i have no idea- and i'm not going to test it out because i dislike Fortnite and Epic's PC launcher. But seeing as how it's running extremely well on PS5 and Xbox Series X, both of which use AMD solutions for their hardware, it makes me wonder if Nvidia's RTX solution will hold up in the future when Epic's Lumen is working well and has better usability with consoles, as well as being less demanding as a whole. Frankly i hope it's the case, since if every game is going to be using a form of raytracing in the future, i'd rather it be the one that works the best with my setup. What do you think, though?
