You can't even enable raytracing if your card doesn't explicitly support it, which the steam deck doesn't, so yeah you could conceivably get 60 fps on high settings

The RDNA 2 GPU in the deck does support ray tracing, but it's not available on Linux unless you use the proprietary AMDPro driver instead of the standard open source AMD driver.

And it's a handheld device with a 7" 1280x800 screen, ray tracing would be just a bit overkill.

And 60FPS in Control ain't happening on high settings, no matter what. 40-50FPS in RDR2 on medium with ultra textures is happening though, which is pretty rad for a handheld device.

No. Looks cool though.

Tell me why I'm wrong about Non Euclidean though, because I'm interested and think it's cool, not coz I want to win on the Internet!

My interpretation is that for something to be non Euclidean, it has to not adhere to one of his postulates. "There is one straight line passing through two points" is the one I was concentrating on, it's really trivially easy to break in a computer game, because you just have it so that when you move to a certain point you appear in another place, but you do it surreptitiously. Like, sure, if you were to look at the map in an editing tool, you'd have some Euclidean representative of it, but while playing the game, you would experience it as non, surely? Is that not right?

That postulate can also apply to non-Euclidean geometry. The Euclidean postulate that doesn't apply is the one about parallel lines never intersecting. Euclidean geometry operates in flat curvature. You move x units forward, take a 90-degree right turn, repeat 3 more times, and you're back where you started, forming a square path of travel. If you were on the face of a sphere (positive curvature), you'd perform that process one fewer time. You'd form a triangular path of travel while only making 90-degree turns. On a hyperbolic surface (negative curvature), you'd have to do it more.

Parallel lines never intersect because that's what the word "parallel" means. The parallel postulate you're trying to describe refers to how many lines you can have that are parallel to a given line and pass through a point not on that line. In Euclidean geometry, there's exactly one. The two interesting* non-Euclidean geometries are spherical geometry, where there are none, and hyperbolic geometry, where there are infinitely many. Surfaces of a given curvature provide models for those geometries, but they're not fundamentally what they're about.

I'm not sure if Manifold Garden or the Lunatic Fringe level from Duke Nukem 3D have really natural geometric characterizations. Nothing immediate comes to mind, and Google doesn't turn up much either. Hyperbolica, on the other hand, really is set on a surface with hyperbolic geometry, and there are plenty of games that take place on the surface of a sphere.

*You can define non-Euclidean geometries where there are more than one but finitely many lines parallel to a given line that pass through a given point, but those are a little too weird to be really interesting (at least based on what we know now).

wait a drat minute on a sphere any line will eventually intersect itself to form a circle, so lines have finite length but you can line up an infinitely many number of circles that don't touch each other, lines of latitude p much. Which also works with ellipses even if you cant the thing off axis

but if it is on an ellipse are you drawing straight lines or curves within the ellipse space, even if they look straight from outside in the higher dimension

When we say "line" in spherical geometry we mean a great circle.

i have come to the conjecture that any line that has curvature also has a point along it with some angle, it's basically kinked, unless there's a reverse curvature somewhere along the curve that cancels it out. So then it's possible to construct a curve that passes through an arbitrary number of points on the surface of the space without becoming kinked... but is it possible to describe one that passes through infinitely many points without kinking? I think maybe yes, or maybe definitionally no
