RT GI low/ RT AO Medium
RT GI and RT AO off
What is going on here? Why is the GI and AO so bad? The shed lighting looks completely flat and unrealistic with GI on, as there's not much light entering it. Looks much better with RT GI off. The AO does nothing in this game, look how flat the shed appears on the ground or how flat the grass is, regardless if RT AO is on or off, same applies for any small objects on the ground, they appear completely flat.
And then there's the framerate impact. Like holy shit, I have tested Metros GI that costs nothing compared to this and does a much better job. Or the one in Ring of Elysium that runs even faster than the pre-baked GI and looks ten times better.
UE4 games always have crappy RT implementations, but Fortnite is the king, easily. Never seen such a badly done RT implementation in my life. The reflections are nice, but performance varies geatly.
Look how bad the framerate impact is on a 3070, going from 166 FPS at 1080p to 1080p 44 FPS with RTX on:
It seems sad to me that this is supposed to be the engine's showcase for new tech...
