Quote:Despite the enormous hit to average frame rates, it's commendable that RTX effects don't result in horribly uneven or jerky frame delivery from Battlefield V. So long as gamers with GeForce RTX cards can tolerate 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 gaming and less-fluid frame rates overall, our results suggest they'll still be able to enjoy consistently-paced frames that help maintain a sense of immersion.
On the whole, I don't think gamers who already have high-end graphics cards with performance comparable to an RTX card should ditch their current pixel-pusher and go buy one of Nvidia's latest on account of Battlefield V's reflections alone. We're in the early days of this technology, and the effects I witnessed probably have room for improvement as developers get their coding fingers around real-time ray tracing and the hybrid rendering approach that Nvdia's Turing cards require.
Still, if you were planning to upgrade to an RTX 2070, RTX 2080, or RTX 2080 Ti to begin with, you'll be happy to have RTX reflections in your load-out when you fire up Battlefield V, and after this first taste of the tech, I'm eager to see what other studios can do with Nvidia's hybrid-rendering tool kit for shadows, global illumination, ambient occlusion, and more. I'm hopeful it won't be a long wait to find out.
