Topic	Cyberpunk 2077's raytracing is incredible
DarkRoast 12/13/20 3:03:02 PM #11:	Orlando_Jordan posted... What is ray tracing, and how does it differ from bloom, or any other lighting effects that preceded it? It's extremely hard to explain, but suffice it to say that all lighting prior to raytracing was essentially fake approximations of real lighting. Raytracing is using GPU muscle to actually, literally, trace light rays from source to destination, allowing for interference and whatnot along the way. --- Razer Blade 15 - Core i7-9750H, 32 GB RAM (2666), RTX 2080 MQ <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:948288214] in Cyberpunk ...
