Most Reflections in these games look very Shimmery. The only one that doesn't to me is Hitman 3, Cyberpunk and Watchdogs Legion depending on what surface you are looking at.

    • I mean it really depends on the lighting position. If the sun is above it will barely have the darkening and will glow with lush green... But one thing I am actually curious about is the shadows. Especially environment shadows as switching off and on makes some drastic differences with the long shadows as with RT on they just not there. I wonder where the sun position is and why are such shadows gone. We will see with day 1 patch that will hit on 10th should bring some improvements. Though the biggest RT option that's missing is RTGI. It would singlehandedly make the biggest difference paired with RTAO.

  • Pretty basic ray tracing implementation with low amount of rays. This makes everything way noisier than it should be. Also, AO is almost invisible compared to the SS variant and does not seem to come with bounce lighting. This is likely due to console versions handling RT badly and the game already having a decent demand on the rig without it. We would need optional higher settings on PC if only for future proofing (or high-end rigs).

For that you can do an Engine.Ini tweak that substantially cleans up the reflections quality and it's not pixelated (low quality that Avalanche did). Does take a performance hit.

    • Nah, RT Reflections are very bad in this game. Really bad. Especially in Hogwarts which seems more like a place made of wet tiles instead of Marble and Wooden Floors like it should have been. Currently In my home I can see all three, tiles, wooden, and in last marble. Wooden hardly has any reflection and marble has less reflections that a tile. But in this game every texture seems like a tile. Too shimmery and kinda useless.

  • RTX gives that extra bit of "grounded-ness" where everything interacts with everything else more. I never realized it until now, but simply having the environment change tint and hue in reaction to different light sources makes the graphics infinitely more realistic that polygons or textures. My brain expects reality to react a certain way to light and shadows and RTX simulates that.

I think overall they focused on non-RT look and made the RT as an after thought. So from the look of it, it's better to only turn on the RT reflection and ignore all since a lot of places requires reflections

Sadly, only a couple of games utilize Global Illumination RT well, namely Cyberpunk 2077 and Metro Exodus.
