1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Cries in hardware raytracing
Smiles in not needing proprietary software tricks to force customers into buying increasingly expensive gpus
I use Blender, it's GNU-GPL
What did you do before RT?
Another related job
Hopefully AMD can close the gap on RT performance in the future. I think I read they're working on a cuda-like project.
Blender already has OpenCL raytracing kernels(shaders)
They have put out HIP (which is even hardware agnostic) but the bottleneck is at the hardware level if I'm well informed
Yes me too, I dearly hope some competition comes on the field, either from AMD or Intel, because this Nvidia monopoly has not been good for us !
Yeah those fps and quality gains are just tricks of the eyes π.
And I forgot AMD is just happily giving away those GPUs and not charging hundreds.
Oh boy! It's the contrarian again! Leading the pack with downvotes on all his shitty takes!
Oh no, zealots don't like me. WHAT WILL I DO!!!!!!??????
You'll probably continue to be a burden on the rest of us.
AMD can do that though?
Not really no, there's a factor of almost 4x in performance between the top cards (my use case specifically being GPU rendering in Blender using Optix or HIP)
