Hello, pretty simple question. At the moment I am working on a project in which I make extensive use of ray traced reflections.
What happens with such a Ray Tracing project when someone tries to execute it on a non DXR GPU?
Will it crash in the beginning or will it simply not display the effects?
And another question is then, how can I check for it, so the program is at least showing a message that a GPU with DXR support is needed?
Is it somehow possible to ask the engine if DXR is supported? My project depends that heavy on RT it wouldn’t be possible to make it look right without it. Therefore I would like to inform the user and simply close the program afterwards.
It is not a game, it is a benchmark. I now added an option to execute it with screen space reflections, but it is extremely ugly with that. The benchmark is using hundreds of mirrors^^. What happens if I execute the console command “r.RayTracing.Reflections 1” and then check the value that gets returned with “r.RayTracing.Reflections”? Will it return 1 even it is not working or will it properly return 0 because the hardware does no support it? That could be a way to find out if Ray-Tracing is working.
