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.
I tried out Portal RTX, found the room where the light ball is casting shadows all around. It looked nice; but I also felt like I’ve seen the same effect imitated with regular rendering. Sure there might be slight differences, but I wouldn’t have spotted them.
This is exactly my point. You especially won't notice when you're actually focusing on the gameplay, IMO.
