NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

Hi @YONI_G

I think those quotes may answer your question:

No plans, hoping Nvidia will upgrade it at some point.

that’s because:

​​​​​​​

By the way @ , I imagine that at point UE 4.22’s rendering backend has changed so much that there’s not much of a possibility of VXGI2 ports to 4.22 and up unless Nvidia update their branch, right? Though I suppose it’s pretty much invalidated by the presence of RT creeping into UE anyhow.

I guess I’ll have to start messing around with RT in UE once nvidia pushes out those DXR drivers sometime now in April.
(For anyone unaware: Nvidia is pushing a GTX Raytracing driver sometime now in April, which’ll enable DXR on older Gpus. ( 1060 6GB and stronger, basically. )
Which will let us use the RT features in unreal, though massively slower than on a RTX card. )

is a valid concern. I’m afraid it might affect other GW techs too, not just VXGI and Nvidia has pretty much dropped the ball for these integrations lately. I hope they can start updating them again.
