NVIDIA GeForce 425.31 WHQL driver adds DXR - tech
(hx) 04:51 PM CEST - Apr,11 2019 - Post a comment / read (5)
NVIDIA today released the year's most important GeForce driver update, version 425.31 WHQL. The drivers enable DirectX Raytracing (DXR) API support for GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, GTX 1660, GTX 1080 Ti, GTX 1080, GTX 1070 Ti, GTX 1070, and GTX 1060 6 GB, in addition to TITAN graphics cards based on the "Pascal" and "Volta" architectures. The DXR workload is executed by the CUDA cores entirely, which makes these GPUs significantly slower than NVIDIA's RTX 20-series chips that have dedicated hardware such as RT cores and tensor cores. We've detailed this in our special article. In addition these drivers add Game Ready optimization for "Anno 1800," and fix a number of issues listed below.
Fixed Issues in this Release
  • With SLI enabled, artifacts may appear in Adobe applications.
  • Fixed random crashes on GeForce RTX 20 series GPUs.
  • The game crashes when accessing the inventory menu.
  • Blue-screen crash occurs randomly with Bad Pool error during gameplay.
  • Artifacts appear when Texture Filtering is set to High Quality in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
  • Applications crash when using the Fabfilter plugin.
  • Fixed corrupted graphics in games on ASUS ROG Strix GL702VS notebooks.
  • With Stereo enabled, OUT of Memory message appears when launching the application.

what a pathetic move. Up until recent not possible with any other GPUs than 20 series, suddenly possible with with 10 series, but 1080Ti matching 2060, wut wut? :D are they serious? :D

Noone really cares about raytracing so not sure what the fuss is about lul ...

It's a bullshit move and doesn't mean anything. They're just trying to tease their technology which will run like total dog on anything except an RTX Ti anyways. Oh DXR is enabled now? Oh fuck I wish I had an RTX mortgage-fuck-me-sideways edition.

devilhood> mortgage-fuck-me-sideways edition
Good one! :P

I used to call them second-mortgage edition, but I like yours because that better reflects NVidia's attitude...

people do buy RTX cards still. So...
Anyway, driver includes fixes for things and that counts for something. Also, being able to use CUDA cores for RT features might inspire devs to include something like better GI+shadows than they currently are. Without using all the heavy stuff like RT reflections and such, 1080 should be able to run RT shadows or something less demanding.

People need to remember that change doesn't come over night. I remember when ambient occlusion was introduced back in 2000's, it ran like crap on everything. Everyone was like "meh, it doesn't even look that good and it destroys fps". Today, most people don't want to play without it.

Things that push hardware to the limits eventually push the better hardware out in the market.

Problem is, that's how NVidia markets it: it's here, now.
They arse-raped you - and still intend to arse-rape you - pretty much overnight.
