Playing KCD2, I think certain graphical aspects could be greatly improved. RT AO and reflections, specifically for the water, would go a long way. When someone walks across your screen, the far field AO fails harshly.
Same with the water, though I think that shader needs an overhaul in general.

Which of these looks more correct in terms of anti aliasing to you?

Entity systems

Apparently I was wrong and the Ray Reconstruction model already handles denoise and upscaling in one go? Woopsie!

About that airstrafing stuff:
github.com/H7perus/CSGO...
Analytically integrated air strafing did infact work. Also did a fix to jump height variance with tickrate. Next would be ground movement. Most of this is mostly just proof of concept though, without subtick lower tickrates still suffer hard.

DLSS is actually already doing a "decent" job in integrating path tracing samples. I mean yes, it is noisy for sure, but ray reconstruction turns this grass into a painting

Graphics technology prediction: We will see a combined sample integration system for path tracing.
Currently, separate denoising and upscaling algorithms are used. DLSS is in itself already a sample integrator, however. I find it logical to steer towards one combined integrator in the future.

Working on new water for Source 2 Viewer. Not reverse engineered from the game and serves merely as a visual proxy. Someone at some point should probably reverse engineer the actual water.
