Laughs in AMD
Cries in hardware raytracing
Smiles in not needing proprietary software tricks to force customers into buying increasingly expensive gpus
I use Blender, it's GNU-GPL
What did you do before RT?
Another related job
Hopefully AMD can close the gap on RT performance in the future. I think I read they're working on a cuda-like project.
Blender already has OpenCL raytracing kernels(shaders)
They have put out HIP (which is even hardware agnostic) but the bottleneck is at the hardware level if I'm well informed
Yes me too, I dearly hope some competition comes on the field, either from AMD or Intel, because this Nvidia monopoly has not been good for us !
Oh boy! It's the contrarian again! Leading the pack with downvotes on all his shitty takes!
AMD can do that though?
Not really no, there's a factor of almost 4x in performance between the top cards (my use case specifically being GPU rendering in Blender using Optix or HIP)
