Before you spend too much time, I should add that OptiX 5 might not work, so I’ve already started asking around. There might be reasons it no longer compiles correctly for Ada GPUs, because OptiX 5 support for newer architectures has ended. We are no longer regression testing OptiX 5, which is why I’m not immediately sure.
I also want to add a note that you should be aware that testing OptiX 5 against OptiX 7 is not going to be an apples-to-apples comparison or even close. Far too many things have changed between these two versions to be able to consider this a software vs hardware comparison. Memory handling, SBT management, BVH format and traversal algorithms, and many other major things have changed, and so even if OptiX 5 were to work, the results could be misleading.
