Remij 4,682 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Reasonable specs all around. Game will support DirectStorage 1.2 with GPU decompression as well, but an SSD is not required for the game. It's going to be very interesting to see how this performs on the Steam Deck and other handheld PCs. To ensure a smooth dimension-hopping experience, our team implemented DirectStorage 1.2 in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on PC, including GPU decompression. Richard van der Laan, Senior Lead Programmer at Nixxes Software, explains: To enable quick loading and instant transition between dimensions, the game needs to be able to load assets quickly. DirectStorage ensures quick loading times and GPU decompression is used at high graphics settings to stream assets in the background while playing. Traditionally, this decompression is handled by the CPU, but at a certain point there is an advantage to letting the GPU handle this, as this enables a higher bandwidth for streaming assets from storage to the graphics card. We use this to quickly load high-quality textures and environments with a high level of detail. Principal Programmer Alex Bartholomeus: For Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on PC we added adaptive streaming based on live measurement of the available hardware bandwidth. This allows us to tailor the texture streaming strategy for the best possible texture streaming on any configuration. With DirectStorage, the use of a fast NVMe SSD and GPU decompression, this results in very responsive texture streaming even at the highest settings. DirectStorage is developed to fully utilize the speed of fast PCIe NVMe SSDs, but the technology is also compatible with SATA SSDs and even traditional hard disk drives. This means Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on PC can use the same technology for loading data, regardless of the storage device in your system.

I don't want to post here anyway" Dynaflop the moment he thinks its safe....can't stay away If you think it's safe to stay here, it's not. You still have no games and you're still an autist.

Of course though, with the textures and graphics settings on low, it becomes much more manageable. It will be interesting to see how it scales and how it compares across a wide range of hardware.. from Ultra high end PC, to PS5, and all the way down to the Steam Deck.

Remij 4,682 Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) They also announced in the PSBlog post from today that in addition to RT Reflections, the game will also support RT Shadows and RT Ambient Occlusion.. which is pretty awesome. Nixxes always goes above and beyond with stuff like this. They're also adding an Intel designed Ambient Occlusion called XeGTAO (Xe Ground Truth AO).. it's not an RT based solution, but uses screen space like other non-RT solutions, so I wonder what that's going to look like. https://blog.playstation.com/2023/07/18/ratchet-clank-rift-apart-pc-specs-and-new-features-revealed/ Edited July 18, 2023 by Remij Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's how you know I've hit a nerve............because I'm speaking to something that's actually true. I love making him try and run to my PSN profile in the middle of the night.
