It’s like 4K Tvs.
Are interesting if TV shows are broadcast in 4k.

I expect that Frontier are aware of what proportion of players have an RTX capable card - and, due to the next gen console release next year what the capabilities of the AMD GPUs are.
It makes little sense to undertake significant development for what may be a rather small number of players.
IT technologies are wonderful. They are often released several years before their real use.
Not only am I not interested in Ray tracing I couldn't give a rats crack about 4k either. 1080p is more than enough (I played original doom 240x320 scaled down on my 15" monitor to about a 3 inch square LOL Them were the days!) IMO. I want higher frame rates more detailed geometry and no pop up in games before 4k and ray tracing.
I doubt there are many channels broadcasting in 4k anywhere in the world. 8k TVs is probably the next fad, so people can watch their favorite shows in 720p
I believe that's still HD format for TV.Robert Maynard

Well, I do hope they're going to fix the driver bugs before introducing new ones, though.
My 5700XT refuses to accept 0RPM mode unless I restart the PC and the power slider doesn't work.
It took almost a year for them to fix these things for Vega, I'm not sure how they're doing it.

That's the reality with early adoption.
Ray tracing is more than just lighting effects...lighting is simply the best place to start. The only reason it's harder to implement is there is more than 25 years of rasterization precedent to overcome. A paradigm shift in rendering has to begin somewhere.
The hardware is too specialized. It was originally intended for AI inferencing and the only reason it's even in any consumer cards is so that NVIDIA wouldn't have to order entirely different silicon from their professional/HPC parts. They've tried to make use of it as best they can, so it's not just dead weight, but they are limited in what can be done with it, especially since games cannot be built around it without sacrificing support for every non-Turing part.
I have a 4k TV, it's hooked up to my HTPC and is mostly used for gaming.
Yes that was the meaning of my post.I doubt there are many channels broadcasting in 4k anywhere in the world. 8k TVs is probably the next fad, so people can watch their favorite shows in 720p
In my country it’s HD only.
Watching 4K Dvds maybe ?
Just want to opine that Elite Dangerous in particular would be an excellent candidate for raytracing, with its procedurally generated environments, and freedom and speed of object movement, where lighting and shadows are such a fundamentally important element, and where the developers can not prebake lighting and other things under the knowledge that the camera will only ever be in a scant few certain places, in a string of static rooms that make up a predefined path, along which the player is being corralled.
Only just now, I lifted off a planetside spaceport in night time, and for the n'th time, because my ship happened to be bathing in floodlight on the landing pad, the engine decided that this was cause to render the entire planet and its moons, as if their occluded sides were in daylight; As soon as I left the cones of influence of the floods, the celestial light switch predicatably went off.
It is tragic to see those jagged, incorrect shadows that crawl across stations and terrain, always cast by a single star, no matter how many there are that should have been influencing and tinting the situation, jumping, and shifting, and changing entirely, periodically, as their maps are updated at intervals (also due to lod switching on the occluding geometry) - same for reflection cubemaps.
As for DLSS... I am dubious about that one in general, but especially in ED context -- precomparing ground truth for procedural content in a whole galaxy... Hmm... Even if viable: If we throught that planets and contructs can feel same-y as it is now…
