If you needed any more proof that Nvidia is continuing to enshittify their monopoly and milk consumers. Hey lets remove one of the critical things that lets you diagnose a bad card and catch bad situations that might result in gpu deathdoors! Dont need that shit, Just buy new ones every 2 years you poors!
If you buy a Nvidia GPU, you are part of the problem here.
Not true anymore.
The Indiana Jones game that just came out does require ray tracing. There are a few others coming out that do as well.
Fortunately, they will be crippling themselves in the console market doing shit like this, so there should still be plenty of choice left. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bethesda eventually released a non-ray tracing version of the game after whatever deal they signed with NVIDIA expires and they consider porting the game to platforms without RT support.
Which other currently released games require it? I haven’t found any.
Hopefully this doesn’t become a trend because it’d be pretty dumb and anti-consumer.
As far as I know Indiana is the only currently released game in this category.
Let’s hope it stays that way.
So anyone with an older or non-nvidia card can just get fucked?
This sounds like an Nvidia monopolistic backroom deal or something. Bet you’ll see an Nvidia splash on those games’ startup.
AMD cards can do ray tracing too. Not nearly as well, but they can.
