Much as I love the look of Quake RTX, it feels like it’s a barely there performance hog in modern games. You look at the benchmarks on the newer cards and so much is focused on ray tracing performance but I just don’t see that big a difference in Cyberpunk on an 3080 Ti unless I look really hard for it.

Am I alone in this? I’d much rather have 100+ non generated FPS at 4k over what raytracing is delivering in major titles. And by 4k I really mean my super modded Skyrim VR :)

    It really is a matter of personal preference. You don’t need RT to have great lighting but it certainly can help if implemented correctly. I think old games like Silent Hill 2 have great lighting without RT. I think Cyberpunk 2077 looks gourgeous with path tracing. It really does depend.
