Has Ray Tracing really improved the gaming experience?

0

Before we come to the topic you must know what is Ray Tracing?. Well who doesn’t know what it is for you- It is a rendering technique that creates more realistic light effects by using this rendering technique to simulate the physical behavior of light.
The first-ever RTX enabled card was launched by Nvidia two years ago was 2080 Ti. Since this card supports Ray tracing, the price was set pretty much high. But does the card’s Ray Tracing experience and its price worth much? Simply form my opinion the answer is no.

NVIDIA announces RTX 20-series GPUs with Ray tracing

Nvidia had flaunted a lot about its GPU ray tracing technique during its 2080 Ti release, but till now, its performance doesn’t meet the eye. Nvidia had boasted a lot of its performance in the games like Battlefield V, The Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, and Metro Exodus but the performance of this GPU was not jaw-dropping at all. The biggest predicament for ray tracing is that games visual are very good at faking what we see, and all the games mentioned above look excellent even after the RTX turned off.

Yes, I agree that the reflections ray tracing truly excelled in Battlefield V in the snow-blanketed landscapes of Nordlys. Though the level of detail is astonishingly impressive it’s also so subtle you plausibly wouldn’t notice it unless you went looking for it eagerly. There is a huge FPS difference when DXR is turned off and on. If y’all factor in how much of a performance drain that ray tracing is on the GPU, y’all have to ask yourself whether that subtle improvement is really of any worth.

Top upcoming games with NVIDIA RTX graphics

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the ray-traced shadows are remarkably good, especially in the party scene at the beginning of the game, but even without the ray-traced traced shadows are elegant. By running the game at the highest quality settings, you’re fitting to get a great visual experience, though the shadows aren’t quite ‘perfect’ every time. The quality of the shadows didn’t impact gameplay even after the RTX turned off. When the RTX is turned on then there are too many issues in the High-quality settings, including degraded shadow density and a nasty transition point that makes this mode look worse than ray tracing disabled.

In Metro Exodus, there is a lot of effort to put on when enabling global illumination. Although it looks great, the performance hit is significant. By turning the global illumination off, it’s still a really good looking game. It assists if you spend a lot of time in the dark of course, but even so, games are just really good at persuading us that we’re in the real world.

Top upcoming games with NVIDIA RTX graphics

Since the demand for ray tracing hardware is small compared to the size of the PC market as a whole, why the gaming companies would create a game that the vast majority of people couldn’t experience. There is a huge performance hit issue due to all those rays introduced and the optimization of the game is still an issue.

Nvidia is trying to solve this issue using DLSS. It uses machine learning which helps offset the performance hit by rendering at a lower resolution and then upscaling. We really hope that Nvidia will try to fix all these issues and try to push the ray tracing technology to the next level with their upcoming Ampere architecture and RTX 3090 GPU.

UEFA President suggests the one-legged Champions League format could continue

0

UEFA Champions League is like the World Cup of club football. It also features group matches which eventually goes into knockout rounds. The only difference is that the knockout rounds of the Champions League are two-legged affairs except the final.

Both the teams play one home and away match and the aggregate score is taken. If the aggregate score happens to be a draw then the team with the highest no of away goals are declared the winner. Even then if there is a draw then the match goes into extra-time and eventually into penalties.

But due to the Coronavirus pandemic, UEFA decided to have a ‘Final Eight’ tournament in Lisbon, Portugal. All the matches were one-legged affairs.

This new format has created massive interest and excitement among the fans. So UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said that this season’s Champions League format could as well continue in the future.

Ceferin told Reuters: “I have to say that this system of one match seems more interesting to me than the other system with two-legged matches. It’s one of the interesting things that was brought by this pandemic.”

“We had to do a system like that. We had to play this way, but at the end, we see it’s a very interesting system.”

He further added: “Now, it’s quite complicated to place a final eight in the calendar.”

“But we saw that people want exciting matches, that in one match, every team can beat every team in Champions League or the Europa League. So it’s something to consider for the future … I think in September or October, we have to start to seriously speak.”

“Even though you have less matches, the value can be higher if promoted properly. I see my friends from football and out of football calling me and texting me and they are all extremely excited about this system”.

This season’s format of the Champions League and Europa League has been a hit with the fans. So UEFA are seriously considering to think about replacing the old format with this season’s one.

Barcelona interested in Man City’s Angeliño, who was loaned out to Leipzig

0

The Blaugranas want to overhaul the team completely and in that process, there are lot of rumors surrounding various players that can be signed this transfer window. Already president Bartomeu has declared indirectly, both the current left backs Jordi Alba and Junior Firpo aren’t intouchables so, maybe we could see a new face as a long-term replacement for Jordi Alba as Firpo hasn’t been that that much convincing defensively.

At this point, as MD points out, Ronald Koeman has made few requests to the board for signings and it is said that the recent Champions League sensation Angeliño is one of them, according to BBC. The Galician left-back is owned by Manchester City but was loaned out to Leipzig since December, who made a fantastic run to the Champions League semis even without being a heavyweight team.

Angeliño has been a key part of their left-hand defense and has also been a threat during attacks with his pace, much like Jordi Alba. The player José Ángel Esmorís Tasende, known as Angeliño is a native of Coristanco (a Coruña) who came to Manchester City in 2013 from Deportivo’s grassroots football. Since then, he has been assigned to a lot of clubs including New York City, Girona, Mallorca, NAC Breda, and PSV Eindhoven.

Barcelona interested in Man City's Angeliño, currently loaned to Leipzig

After a successful loan campaign, he will be a much more important asset and his current market evaluation has risen to 20 million but worth it for the Spanish player. However, Pep will never let him go for cheap as Angeliño has now got a lot of experience under his belt and can be an important option for Manchester City for the upcoming season.

As MD says, Barça has followed him for a long time now and now especially after his successful streak, Ramon Planes, the new Barça technical secretary, went to see him live a few months ago for the match against Tottenham. The transfer talks between Barcelona and Manchester City seem to get extended as already Eric Garcia is already set to leave City and now Angeliño too is in Barça’s part of the remodeling team.

International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the name of great Jacques Kallis into the Hall of Fame. He is one of those living legends the game of cricket ever produced. Whether it is the bowling or batting, Kallis was just world-class in both the limited-overs and Test Cricket. He is the only cricketer in history to have scored more than 10,000 runs and taken more than 250 wickets in both the Test and the ODI formats.

The other three South Africans who made their names into the Hall of Fame are Graeme Pollock (2009), Barry Richards (2009) and Allan Donald (2019). Former Indian all-rounder Kapil Dev, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Ian Botham, Sir Richard Hadlee, and Imran Khan are also in this list of all-rounders.

Criteria to be inducted in the ICC Hall of Fame:

There are some strict rules from ICC to conduct a name into the list of Hall of Fame. Batsmen must have scored at least 8,000 runs and 20 hundred, with an average of over 50, in one of the two main formats, Tests or ODIs.

Bowlers have to pick a minimum of 200 wickets in any of these two formats, with a strike rate of below 50 in Tests and below 30 in ODIs.

Leeds United are keen on signing Edinson Cavani after his move to Benfica collapsed

Former PSG forward Edinson Cavani was highly linked with Portuguese side Benfica. But the transfer talks collapsed.

Edinson Cavani is a free agent now. He left Paris Saint-Germain this June after his contract expired. The Uruguayan striker was not happy at PSG as he became irregular in the starting line-up. PSG manager Thomas Tuchel favoured Argentine striker Mauro Icard, who is on loan from Inter.

Cavani wanted to sign a three-year contract worth €10million-a-season (£8.8m) with the Portuguese side. But Benfica is not ready to sign the striker for such a high wage. Benfica believed that the striker needs to lower his expectation.

Rui Costa, Benfica’s sporting director said: “Everyone knows that Benfica was interested in Cavani, we made a proposal for him, but that ball is no longer in our court. We ended our part in the negotiations because we can’t do more than we have already done.”

“This matter is completely closed on our side. I don’t want to give the impression of having reopened anything, because we are not going to reopen. It was not possible, so we will create other solutions. We cannot now think of things that are not possible.”

After the clear clarification from Benfica other European clubs are pushing to sign the 33-year-old striker. According to various reports Manchester United, Roma and Lazio are also interested to sign the striker.

Leeds United will be playing in Premier League next season after 16 long years. They need some pure quality in the squad to fight in Premier League. Edinson Cavani will surely increase the quality of the squad.

Leeds owner, Andrea Radrizzani told: “In addition to his quality, Cavani could contribute with his physicality and adapt here, but I’ve never talked about him with the coach. Having said that, we’ve certainly thought about him and we’ll see, given he’s still available on a free transfer.”

Edinson Cavani has scored 200 goals in 301 matches for PSG. He will definitely be a good addition to the newly-promoted Premier League side, Leeds United.
