It is. Instead of hardware rt, it just uses a software implementation of ray tracing to run on all GPUs, as it does not need to do that much ray tracing. As a side note: Teardown has its own engine.

It also boils down the fact RTX GPUs were not that popular when the game was released

Oh yeah. For example the game “Teardown” uses a software ray tracing for lighting. Most Minecraft shaders also do ray tracing I think…

Of course these are voxel based examples which are a lot easier on the processor. You need hardware ray tracing for high poly destructible structures and I have absolutely nothing against the technology.

I just don’t like how the technology is abused by studios to push out unoptimized games running at ~50 fps on 3090s

High performance lighting? We had a tool for that.

It was called texture baking.

Well, I think Linus Torvalds is one of the rare rich people who actually “deserves” being rich.

I think the main motive behind leftism should be stopping 8 people from owning the 50% of the world’s wealth, not to distribute Linus Torvalds’ 50 million dollars which a well deserved amount of wealth for someone who created the OS which runs the modern world.

Besides, what Linus owns is not even a droplet compared to billionaires like Bezos, Musk or Bill Gates
