Hello, as of last week VK_NV_ray_tracing has stopped appearing as a device extension for my rtx2080 despite having tried both updating and downgrading my gpu drivers. Currently I’m using the latest gpu driver and Vulkan sdk.
I’m not completely sure if this is just a Vulkan issue or whether both DX12 and Optix are also broken but (and this may just be incompetency on my part) I wasn’t able to get ray tracing to work in UE4 or the DX12 ray tracing samples https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectX-Graphics-Samples/tree/master/Samples/Desktop/D3D12Raytracing
Although when a friend tried running Vulkan Info with his rtx2070, he also wasn’t able to see VK_NV_ray_tracing in the device extensions list so that makes it seem like it’s probably a software issue? Either way what’s the best approach in this situation? Is my gpu broken and I should rma it or is this a software issue? If it wasn’t for my friend’s 2070 also not showing up I’d be pretty sure it’s a hardware issue. Anyway I’ve already tried contacting nvidia support and they just pointed me here after telling me to do the usual “update/downgrade everything”.
Hopefully this can be resolved soon!
