Am I the only one that doesn't really give a shit about ray tracing? For mediocre gains, you get a punch in the face on performance. I'll take 144Hz on a game over ray tracing any day.
if I can get a solid 60fps with ray-traced reflections, I'll take that over 144. Reflections and shadows do a lot for me
Same. It depends on the game though, obviously. If I'm playing Deadlock or something similar (fast paced and competitive) I'm not going to go for graphics fidelity. But anything single player? 60 FPS is perfectly fine and ray traced lighting can make a huge visual impact. Both Alan Wake 2 and Cyberpunk looked great with RT and well worth forgoing 100+ FPS.
I find when I play, if I'm not looking around focusing on the graphics (like playing the game) I don't notice it. Cyberpunk 2077 at 3440x1440 with ray tracing on makes me get like 24FPS. Without it, I can get above 60.
