    Hello, I was wondering if BeamNG could someday exploit the RTX technology for cars reflections ?
    Thanks

    RTX is a prioprietary Nvidia thing.
    Like other Nvidia 'Gameworks' stuff, they are blackbox in short (ie. no clue how they work internally, you have limited access to the code)
    We avoid proprietary solutions and such closed system, as they benefit only a specific brand over the other.

    Nah, its just a very gimmicy thing of the cards, by the time the graphics cards calm their prices the next big thing is already there.

    today's gimmick is tomorrow's integral feature that nobody thinks about. there's no reason to think raytracing won't become commonplace, but it certainly won't be referred to as "RTX".
