Over half a million views now, but i notice the video title has been changed.Just popped up into my youtube feed and while already watching it I must admit I totally agree with everything.
It's mostly us the pc Gamers that will sit here and discuse what RT is the game, what game using it better etc already seeing it now with Resident Evil 8
The fact is that bigger communities out there consoles players most of them won't have a clue what RT even is.
I remember making the switch from console to PC and back on console never once did I ever remember questioning the graphics
You make that switch to PC and a hole new world of computer graphics open up to you, you realise now need to know what shadows do etc to get more performance so you begin to teach yourself.
Fact of the matter is RT is great to the user that know what the bloody hell it is
But it's not the be all as of right now.
Please don't turn this into a heated amd vs nvidia thread discuse the video and the technology.
Clickbait video.
Worst raytracing examples in games.

The usual suspects.
Do you ever get tired trying to convince others?Must be exhausting to keep up the charade, even if only for yourself.
The "noise" on surfaces looks absolutely awful. Like an old CRT TV that's not been tuned in has been superimposed on top of everything. I noticed it at times in their video about the new Metro update too, and yet it was never mentioned (in that video anyway, I haven't watched all of this one). It's far, far more distracting to me than having "fake" lighting, since I'm generally not going to stop playing a game and have a good, long think about whether the light sources in the scene make complete sense or not, whereas it's impossible to not notice this artifact.

I hear you but in those screenshots RT off looks better and that's a problem.You'll always get topics like this when it comes to vendor unique features and it's always the same old, one side defends their key feature and makes it out like its the be all i.e. vram, PE, tessellation performance just to name a few..... and the other side goes meh, then come next gen when places have been traded, you'll also see the arguments reversed
Difference with ray tracing is that it benefits EVERYONE, either now or will in the future, given that console games are having ray tracing added (sadly very limited effects due to lack of hardware grunt but progress is progress!), it's pretty obvious what way this is heading especially since it makes a developers life easier so they will want to use it when possible after they have got more familiar with it.
Metro will be the first good game to compare no ray tracing and ray tracing as without ray tracing, the lighting, shadows were already fantastic, cyberpunk was pretty good on the whole too.
Yes, you can still play games such as cyberpunk without ray tracing and enjoy it just as much but having extra graphical effects like this just add so much more to the experience and make it more immersive and enjoyable (played first time on my vega 56 and loved it, played second time with the 3080 and all bells on), same way I can play games happily on my LCD monitor but rather play on my oled tv as it just provides a better experience.
Got to love youtuber clickbait videos
Watch as we get a video in a week or 2 going "rtx is a must have" and uses metro and cyberpunk etc. as their examples
Their video was terrible, why use the worst examples for RTX???? And you do realise RTX/ray tracing affects more than just shadows if done properly?
If you have to "pixel peep" to see differences like this, then yes, you need to go to spec savers
RTX all turned off:
