They didn't ignore the ray tracing performance it had its own separate video....There's really no point in you sticking your oar in when you have no clue what you're talking about.

Wow, Nvidia have banned Hardware Unboxed from receiving review samples...

See above
What is this, spoon feeding an argument into your brain time?
If you're deciding you want to weigh in you could have the decency to read up on it rather than maliciously guessing guided by your existing bias.
You want someone to explain to you what's going on but you've already decided you know what's going on.
That's ridiculously obnoxious.
Was that separate video released after nvidia sent them the email?
It was up months ago.
I wasn't talking about the exact percentages. Just because people consider raster to be more important in their buying decision doesn't automatically mean that those same people are not interested in RT.That doesnt change the basic logic of my argument (i registered it as 27% in a hurry)
23% gamers are interested in RT performance or
77% not interested in RT performance
whats your interpretation.. how would you approach your review content?
the hypothesis still remains the same
Edit:
btw that data further strengthens my argument, i had no idea that HU had conducted that poll
To answer your question. Based on the HWUB poll, I would focus mainly on what people are basing their purchasing decision on, which in this instance is Raster.
Interesting. Ok list the relevant links to the videos which i should go through. Will see what all this is about
Man, seriously.
I'd call this a strawman argument except that it's so obtuse it barely even makes sense.
Since we clearly mutually consider each other a fool, we should probably stop responding to each other now. At least I will. You can do as you please.

Sorry i didnt mean to get personal (i dont see how that post implies that either), but i dont consider you a fool
I think it becomes a binary option (it talks about buying decision so 77% of those taking the poll will buy a GPU if it has a higher raster performance in the price range, irrespective of RT performance as its lower priority for them, similarly 23% will buy the faster RT GPU irrespective of raster performance).
There are few more angles that i would have considered:
- whats the conditional probability of buying a GPU in next six months in each segment
- whats the conditional probability of buying a nvidia product in next 6 months in each segment
- whats the conditional probability of buying a amd product in next 6 months in each segment
That doesnt change the basic logic of my argument (i registered it as 27% in a hurry)

Nope, that's where you are wrong. 23% of gamers who game AND build PCs (I mean they are watching a hardware channel) care about RT.
What is the percentage of gamers who build their own systems? Tiny. What is the percentage of people who game AND build their own PCs AND can afford a GPU that lets them turn RT on? Almost non-existent.
So to summarize, RT is **** right now, so very few people base their purchasing decisions on it.
Of course its my opinion. Let me know when your opinion matches up then mav with a limited set of games usong RT. How long can people play 1 or 2 games with RT to justify a purchase? Right now there isn't a lot for your F150 to tow.
Very few is not 0. If there are people out there interested then they have a right to be given all the info and not just cherry picked bits and bobs
Again 1 or 2 games is not 0. As long as something exists that can use the tech then its a feature worth mentioning and not just being swept under the rug
You had your chance to provide the evidence for me to go over and you failed to provide it. My option remains unchanged.
The poll wasn't "interested", it was "sway your purchase right now".
Am i interested in RT? Heck yes.
Will it sway my decision on a card? Maybe, but unlikely. If I am buying a card less than the 3080 then it's a solid "hell no!", Because the RT perf isn't even there to make it worthwhile even in the games that use it.
They did mention it, and they did and have convered it at hardware unboxed, so what exactly is your point here?
Based on your own logic, you would buy an overbloated pickup for that one time a year you tow a boat, but almost all your driving is city driving. Your argument is self destructing.
My apologies to you also. Thank you.
As an example reviewers said amd 8 core and up cpus are not good since most software doesnt use all the threads. It is a true statement since most software doesnt use all the threads but there are apps out there that will even if its just a small handful. If amd decided to stop sending cpus to reviews who dont use software in the review that uses all the abilities of the cpu then id agree with amd.
See this is exactly what im on about here. your basing this in your own opinion and comparing the product to your own use and have now stated that
" you would buy an overbloated pickup for that one time a year you tow a boat"
How have you made the decision for me that i only tow once a year? I could be that one guy that tows every day. so why go on the assumption id only do it once a year?
You have proven my point in all this. Your trying just like the reviewers to say everyone is doing things the way you do. But in reality thats not true, you dont speak for everyone and especially not for me.
