@Deshong04 You and me both with the new super duper ray tracing mode. I have the RTX 2060, which is one of the first RTX cards. Normal ray tracing has to cap my fps at 30, so I don't play around with it anyway. IMO games without ray tracing are extremely pretty nowadays anyway. And I can't say I care enough about the different to drop several hundreds of dollars on a new GPU.
Nvidia started talking about the DLSS 3 technology right after I bought a 3080 Ti. (It took forever for me to actually buy one)
It's a bit annoying when your card is obsolete right after you buy it.
But it turns out I don't need it.
The difference between Ray Tracing on and off is too subtle for how much the cards cost and and the performance hit by using the feature.
For me I have to see the differences side by side for it even to register. I would rather have a silky smooth frame rate in a game that still looks great without ray-tracing. I don't want any lag while racing through downtown on my motorcycle. There isn't time to admire the glassy reflections in water puddles anyway. That's the only difference that really stands out to me. The rest is too subtle.
I never finished my second play-through. I keep starting the game over whenever I reach a certain point.
I am waiting for patch 1.7 and I will start over again, but play through the entire game.
I don't know if they will drop the 1.7 patch before Phantom Liberty, or when the DLC comes out.
I hope it comes out before the DLC so I can finish with my Female V. I would then start male V when Phantom Liberty comes out.
Anyway, more pics from the second play.
A few pictures of my V, but also a lot of characters from the game.
This is how my V looks at the start of the game. The one wearing the hat.
This is more her style.
It's Magenta again.
These are some very stylish citizens.
Some of these NPCs look super realistic.
Evelyn Parker takes it to another level.
Judy.
After the Edge Runners update.
Claire was so mad at me.
I will never go my own way on her quest-line again.
I like her Japan-town apartment.
I wish she had a bigger role in the game.
MAXTAC looking a little less intimidating.
My V is a Nomad, but is sporting the Corpo look rather well.
That cement truck incident...
Bringing the band back together.
I enjoyed the Kerry Eurodyne side-quests more than I thought I would.
I'm a British Geek who love Bella Goth, Behr sisters, Liberty Lee, Summer Holidays, Pleasant sisters and other Sims wafius/girlfriends. And like his Sims cats.
