One of these videos has RTX enabled. The other doesn't. Can you work out which one it is? The videos were in synch at the start, and i used auto drive on the goliath track to try and get a synched result. The performance hit was BIG... i lost quite a lot of performance when enabling this mod. The video goes out of synch after a minute or so, this is the auto drive AI. It did a fairly good job. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TRYING THE MOD, IT USES CHEAT ENGINE TO ENABLE THIS SETTING AND IT'S JUST NOT WORTH THE REISK.
This was tested on
CPU: Ryzen 5900x
GPU: Nvidia 3800rtx
4k, 60FPS
All settings were max except for MSAA which was 4x instead of it's maximum 8x.
Before anyone says there are no difference, there is, but I would like to hear anyones opinions first in the comments to see what you guys think. and if you can spot anything that I can't see.
RTX is NOT enabled in game by default, it's only available in the livery, this is the way it's coded!!! I'm pretty sure that this mod enables RTX in game only for the effects that are programmed within the livery, which is minimal. It doesn't automatically ray trace the whole world. I believe there are not a lot of RTX features coded in the game. This game looks so amazing without the RTX features enabled, after watching this video myself, i don't care for RTX in this game. I'll still have it turned on for the livery, but it just looks amazing without it. If you want a more in depth detail about RTX, you can watch the Digital Foundry video, search for it on youtube, those guys made a really detailed video about it.
The settings I used are
Extra Bounces = 1
Rays Per Pixel = 2
A lot of people are commenting that they tried it and it had no effect, and that's what you will think watching this video, but it definitely works. It's just that the effects that are coded for RTX are very minimal, and you look at the scene and think it's doing nothing. There's one key point in this video that tells you if it's on or off, but i'll see if anyone can pick it up because i'm genuinely interested if anyone notices things that I can't find.
I don't recommend running this mod, as it requires cheat engine to enable this feature. I really really don't recommend you touch this software. I got this mod from a video on youtube, if you are curious just search youtube, you will find it. BUT... I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TOUCH THIS... If my account gets banned for running this i'm going to be very sad :(
Playground and Microsoft, i only ran the software to enable rtx for this video, PLEASE don't ban my account!!
