Ray Tracing

Post by Burlyman »

Seems to me like Ray Tracing isn't such a big deal. Thoughts?

Picked up a 3080 Ti a month or so ago and raytraced games just look better. Lighting just works like it does in real life instead of breaking down in video gamey artifacts all around the edges like it used to if you know how to spot it.

Don't ray traced games run a lot slower with that on?

Yeah, but who cares when it is still averaging over 100 FPS at 1440p?

I've heard slower framerates, but the person who had them must've had a different setup. Sounds good! Only problem is the existence of enough games in the different genres to satisfy every gamer? Like what games do you play that have it?
