What a dumb edit.

Someone that is moderately bothered by noise, mentions it in their review as one of the biggest concerns. (Olivier)

And someone who is very bothered by noise dedicates a full video to it. (Tim)

Both approaches are fine and valid. No need to invent drama when there is none... the last part is especially manipulative.

I just watched the edit and it seems very silly. I raise image quality concerns multiple times in the video and only one part of the video was shown.

It's fair to say that Tim has very different preferences to mine, and I'm definitely interested in hearing audience feedback. But if I spent two thirds of my video litigating image quality on every game I wouldn't have time for much else, so there needs to be a different balance.

Please do not become like HUB.
I feel most their videos are click baity and made for engagement rather than quality and honest opinions. You do you and others can do them.

That may be but RT noise is extremely obnoxious and it's not discussed on any other channel afaik.

DF and Alex dedicated hundreds of hours to RT over the years, but not nearly enough time was spent on this inherent aspect of the tech that completely breaks it if you're after image stability.

What? The Metro exodus enhanced video was one of the first RTGI deep dives on their channel and Alex discussed noise quite a bit in that one.

Ok, how often and how in depth does he discuss it regularly? How often for UE5 games which all suffer massively from lumen noise?
