Shouldnt ray tracing fix that?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, but it's exponentially expensive compared to cheating.

Well they built entire video cards series to address that, I hope they were worth it.

We haven't had decent GPU pricing since we started ramming that onto cards, although I will openly admit we've also had a lifetime of wacky fucking shit go on since then.

yes and no, ray tracing still requires decisions about fidelity, the same poor decisions can be made in either rendering system
