No we can’t.
I was running and gunning - it was doom 2016! Maybe you don’t pay much attention to your surroundings in games, but others do. Maybe you don’t play competitive online shooters at a high level like others do? That’s the sort of thing that separates the best from the rest.
I'm sorry, I would be really impressed if you shit a rocket at a demon in doom eternal and it exploded and all kinds of shits flying around but you noticed the reflection of another around a corner on a shiny wall at the same time. There might be like 4 frames of this captured.
Yes, I play a lot of FPS games. I have an ultra wide monitor and 144Hz.
Not to mention, raster is capable of doing these things, it's just not "as realistic". I've watched several comparison videos.
Well you’d be impressed then :)
Playing a lot of fps games doesn’t mean you can play at a high level. Having an ultrawide monitor and 144hz is completely irrelevant lol. There are people with 4K 200+hz monitors and 5090s who are trash at competitive play.
Raster isn’t capable of these things, that’s why it’s never been done until raytracing came along. Rasterization rasters what is on the screen, nothing outside of that.
