  1. Requiring an RTX 3080 to get 60fps at 1080p WITH DLSS on… I know it’s a free and all, but they really couldn’t optimize a bit more than this?

    1. It’s full ray tracing. How have you not caught on that it’s very hard to do? Quake II is really hard to push why would Portal 2 be easier? There is nothing to optimize except your own expectations. This is the real deal full path tracing.

      1. It’s at high settings though, not ultra, which means that there could be some potential compromises to how the RT is done for lower settings. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see exactly what settings are configurable and to what level.

  2. Is this Nvidia exclusive? My 6800xt has been doing great in ray tracing games using the settings that make a noticeable difference only. Most effects suck in some games and you only need like 1-2 out of 3 enabled.

    1. No. It will run on any card supporting DXR, but be warned that your 6800XT is ~50% of the performance of a 3080 in RT and doesn’t support DLSS.

        1. AMD sponsored RT titles usually use very light RT effects. Shadows and maybe reflections. Any major GI or path tracing solutions are just too taxing for AMD’s hardware. Say what you want about Nvidia vs AMD, AMD is a solid 2 years behind Nvidia in RT

    1. Something tells me you’re one of those guys still rocking a 4GB 1060 or something and wondering why the newest AAA title doesn’t run at a smooth 60fps with high settings lol

    1. A 2080 Ti is about the same as a 3070 so it definitely meets the minimum requirements and with some tweaking could probably do 60 FPS at 1080p

        1. So you cant do a goddamn google search or youtube search because you have a job? So I guess the rest of the world is just unemployed. And you sure seem to have plenty of time to make idiotic comments on here.

          1. Not for every single thing I want an answer to no, I dont have time, not even close. I cant research in record speed like you say you can either so that goes against me too. You seem very angry over a question on an internet forum ..lol

            Im glad you can do Google searches and research things in a couple of seconds though, really happy for you, especially since you must be the only person that can do that so fast. You must read like Johnny Five!

            Now, if youd bothered to do that research you pride yourself so much on though, youd know I seldom post here compared to everyone else and thus: dont have plenty of time to make idiot comments, at least not as much time as you seem to have; in between your research of course, ..that would have only taken you a couple of seconds, aparently. What .. you “havent even bothered to do a few seconds of research”? ?

            It seems you have plenty of unemployed time to write snard comments for no reason other than a craving for arguments, yet you couldnt have used that time to just answer the question instead, and show us how knowlegable you are with all your research. ?

          2. I enjoy watching you make a fool of yourself. Again you could have already answered your own question in less time than typing out your nonsense here. I knew I was dealing with an idiot though when your excuse was that you had no time to search because you had a job.

          3. ?You enjoy watching me make a fool of myself.. So original, so …juvenile. You literally lost your sh*t over a question on an internet forum son, dont think you want to go that route…

          4. Please continue. And I see you have a lot free time now to sit around and post on here. I mean you said you dont have time to search since you have a job. And since you claim this job of yours takes so much time then why are you wasting it on a gaming site reading about games? I mean surely you cant possibly have enough time to actually play games with you having a job and all.

          5. Whats wrong? Does me exposing your mental/emotional problems bother you? Im not the one doing that, you are.

          6. So again you clearly have plenty of free time to do anything but look up what DLSS3 is about. Using the earlier excuse that you have a job and don’t have time just shows you are nothing more than a lazy lying twit. Knock yourself out with the last reply and when you are done maybe focus on your own obvious mental issues.

          7. Lol at how upset you are. ??..Anyway to answer your question: I do have time yeah, I just CBA to do research. In fact asking the question on this discussion forum was my research. When you grow up and get out of your parents basement, get a job, have a family and responsibilities, less time to yourself and your hobbies, youll understand. Untill then I suppose youll just have to keep entertaining your gormless ego by being an ignorrant, juvenile tw*t on gaming forums. Keep doing what youre good at LMAO. Thanks for giving me permission to have the last word I guess.. ????

  3. Am I the only one who doesn’t like the look of the ray tracing in this game? I love Ray tracing and I think it looks great, but it just seems a little bit too in your face considering the tone of the game.

    1. What do you mean exactly? I don’t think it looks overdone at all. Personally, I think it simply looks like Portal with properly functioning light sources for once. Always remember “tone” of games, especially from this generation were slaves to the limitations of the technology they had access to. I’m looking forward to experiencing this new take on the game. Just managed to nab a 4090 order this morning so I’m ready!
