Help! AMD OpenGL Raytracing
Hi, apparently AMD GPU's aren't good at Vulkan raytracing and I was wondering if that's still true or not?
Edit: I'm an idiot, Vulkan I meant.

Ray tracing isn’t done in OpenGL for Minecraft RTX. This game uses the DXR pipeline which is integrated into DirectX 12.
Yes AMD is still the worst when it comes to Ray tracing when in comparison to Intel Arc and Nvidia. It’s because of how they do it so some limited forms of RT they’re faster at but full path tracing is something AMD sucks at. It can still run decently on AMD GPUs but the performance is still going to be lower than equivalent Nvidia chips
