This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But you NEED the green and expensive GPU, otherwise you are missing out!!!!

Raytracing is being pushed so hard by the industry because it makes things easier for devs as opposed to making the games look better for the customer.

Ray tracing isn’t supposed to make things look better, it’s supposed to save development time

If you spend enough time on lighting you can make static lights look better but that’s just it, it takes longer so it costs more

I am waiting for the GPU's to use the rotating kinetic power of the fans to feed back into the GPU to give them ERS boost like in formula 1, when scenes become to graphically demanding. If you steal my idea that is intellectual theft and I will be sad!

I think RayTracing is pushed so hard by the industry because it gives manufacturers an excuse to force consumers to buy better cards to get "the very best". I have a 4070 and I never use RT.

Ray tracing is cool, problem is, it is still in beta basically. Once hardware catches up and you can still get good FPS then it won't be an annoyance

I'm running a 4070s

CP2077 with RT is around 50fps with dips. Without RT I sit at 90fps with max settings and 144p

I don't know but Path Tracing makes CBP2077 and Alan Wake 2 looks like a real next gen game.

There is a real reason to not use the "C + P" initialism in online chat these days... on some platforms it's likely to be flagged & reported by automods/bots/Eye of Sauron.

But I love CP!! It’s so next gen!
