GTX 1080 Ti Can Handle Ray Tracing in Forza?!
Forza Horizon 5 lets you enable ray tracing on GPUs that don't support ray tracing, including GTX cards like the GTX 1060 and GTX 1080 Ti. It ray traces very selectively and therefor maintains high frame rates are native 1440p without RT cores. Software ray tracing acceleration is used to enable ray traced reflections of cars while the background is rendered with cubemaps as usual. Photo mode increases the ray tracing so that all cars reflect all other cars on the track and it looks really cool and even impacts gameplay in a small way while in the 3rd person view. Again, this is ray tracing effects on a GTX card without RT cores at native 1440p in a modern game at high frame rates. It shows what smart optimizations and not simply brute forcing every possible lighting technique to sell more GPUs. ahem (NVIDIA RTX 5080) ahem #gtx1080ti #forzahorizon5 #raytracing
