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.
Yeah NVIDIA is a bullshit company and has been for a while. AMD and Intel need to get their raytracing game up so they become a real competitor for NVIDIA especially now when there are more games that require raytracing.
No games “require” raytracing and the ones that support it may look better when you turn it on but it’s not worth the performance cost.
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.
This is incorrect. The new indiana Jones game requires raytracing as does the upcoming doom game. As much as you may or may not like it traditional rasterized graphics are (starting) to be phased out. At least across the AAA gaming space. The theoretical benefits to workload for developers make it pretty much an inevitability at this point once workflows and optimizations are figured out. Though I doubt rasterized graphics will completely go away. Much like how pixel art games are very much still a thing decades after becoming obsolete.
