Not sure if this is actually RTX, or whats going on, drops fps by about 20 when on, I don't know the game or maps well enough to really show it off

Yes it is. Somehow i feel the performance drop is smaller than the 2070S with RTX on..... :D

Can you go to that scene and show a screenshot and how much fps you get?

From the screenshots it only looked like the puddle had better reflections in and thats about it, the lighting on all other things look the same bright light i couldnt tell where any better lighting was on any other object/texture. If thats all it does meh whats the point. The point of ray tracing to me is more realistic lighting on all things in the game world and more natural looking insead of fake light thats overbright or underlit etc and changes based on the surface material of the object.

In Battlefield 5 only reflection are ray traced. It's not like other games that also use GI
In the video in OP they defo a change in reflections what I dont understand and is why i am questioning if this really does work is the performance.

Reflections isnt that hard to make nice looking, look at gta 5 on the cars with high refections turned on it looks great, cant say i noticed anything on a puddle for example tho but meh who pays 100s to look at a puddle. :D

But if the whole topic is mainly about the low fps difference then yeah i guess its nice bit of eye candy for little fps difference. Tho its just a shader which turns up the res of the reflection im guessing. Not really sure i think the thing should be called ray tracing tho.

I’ll have a look in a bit, there are some ray traced videos by you tubers explaining the differences. I’ll have a look and compare.

Bf5 is only reflection raytracing. But it does set a president that it can easily be done. So may see others (hopefully metro) in the near future!

Games have had excellent looking shadows for years now but they are done with limitations like Screen Spaced Reflections only show the refection on the screen if you move the camera around off centred then the reflections disappear. Ray Tracing fixes this.

Can someone go to a building with its glass still in tacted and see if the players reflection shows in the glass. This will 100% confirm if Ray Tracing is indeed working on AMD in this game.

This. And also does the reflection change depending on the surface I.e. mirrored glass vs less reflective surface (the panels on the black cars is good for this) and in single player find an explosive barrel near a puddle or something and see if the explosion/flames are reflected.
