RX 9070 Series Path Tracing Demo Suggests Large Gap with RTX 50-Series GPUs
The recently released AMD tech demo showcases advancements in the RX 9070 series' path tracing capabilities, but its effectiveness in reducing artifacts remains uncertain. While improvements have been made, the demo still reveals weaknesses, such as ghosting and blurriness in certain environments. The demo's overall performance is also being compared to that of Nvidia's RTX 50-series GPUs.
- The disparity between AMD's RX 9070 series path tracing capabilities and Nvidia's RTX 50-series GPUs may be a harbinger for the long-term competitiveness of AMD in the gaming market.
- Can the added cost of higher-end GPUs like the RX 9070 XT be justified by the improved ray tracing performance, or are there other factors at play that are worth considering?
