I also didn’t realize they had done anything to it in a while.
Buuuut this is still the first thing I fire up on new hardware to test RT performance AND it’s still the best Id remake/reissue yet, and they’ve done a bunch recently.
It wouldn’t sadden me in the least if video cards would stop shipping with RT cores. I would rather that go to more raster cores so every game can benefit from the performance boost.
(For the record, tensor cores don’t just accelerate calculations for raytracing, as is obvious from the entire AI bubble built on the technology, and I have no idea what GPU “performance boost” you’d want from additional raster graphics when you have RT-less stuff running at stupid framerates on current hardware and being consistently CPU-limited, but the Internet gets the memetic obsessions it gets. I suppose online nerds will pay for a 1080p 1000Hz monitor with no self-awareness as long as the two popular Youtube tech channels keep repeating the same memes and testing the same four games forever)

Cool.
So, anyway…
