Ray Tracing Performance Improvements 03/02/26(Mon)21:38:55 No.734153790
Ray Tracing Performance Improvements Anonymous 03/02/26(Mon)21:38:55 No.734153790   [Reply]▶
Microsoft implemented serious performance improvements for DirectX ray tracing tasks.
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/shader-model-6-9-retail-and-more/
The numerical figures here come from synthetic tests and unlikely to correspond directly to frame rates in games, but it's still very promising for RT performance in future games.
Microsoft achieved this by using Shader Execution Reordering scheduling technology, introduced in 4000 series. Currently, no AMD GPU properly supports this feature.

I'm still not turning it on. Or DLSS. Or FSR. Or Framegen.

>dynamically sort rays
So basically a huge nothingburger, this only affects memetracing and not rasterization

how about actual improvements

say i go into a pitch black room
why the fuck is RT still enabled and eating my gpu up

or the overhead of a RT setting always being enabled when its not in real use

its been an issue ever since

it's quite difficult to do on a GTX card anyway

You can't turn any of those on your system anyway, except maybe ancient FSR versions lol.

Well it's an SDK release. You could compile and run the same RT demo on both current and previous versions to see how much changed.
I am a Linux user and not trusting them is indeed very good, but I fail to see how they would fake this altogether.

It's a 40 or 80 or 90% increase.....
In ray sorting
Which is like a 3% increase in FPS
If you have raytracing on or if the game even has it.

It's McFucking nothing.

Nice. Maybe I can change my ray tracing setting in RE9 from high to path tracing.
