The workaround adapts the technology to AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture, but early testing shows a substantial performance penalty. Ray Regeneration 1.2 originally relies on FP8 computations. The modification converts the model to FP16 precision so it can run on supported RDNA 3 graphics cards without relying on the same on-the-fly instruction handling used by Proton…
