No one (that knows anything) is claiming otherwise - in fact vast amounts of it are trivial vector maths - a lot of those demos are faked up with a lot of limitations however, etc.

I was always told never go for first generation.

It was never insinuated that someone did. I'm just adding to the conversation as it relates to the topic.
The people who know about ray tracing are the ones advocating it.
Is the people who don't have a clue that are comparing it to gameworks and sounding quite stupid in the process.
Not sold on yesterday's cards though. They had to show some 10 series comparisons to justify the price and didn't. I'm not investing in first gen RT at those costs.
The thing is though that all the new Ray Tracing tech from nvidia is part of the gameworks library. I haven't seen the other comments about gameworks but just from a quick glance at your comment i would say its perfectly valid to bring in gameworks to the conversation.

As someone who plays war thunder, call of duty and battlefield I couldn’t give a monkeys about ray tracing effects....was looking for raw performance and they couldn’t show that.
They're mutually exclusive.
To quote what I've said elsewhere:
This is what i fear will happen. You'll find everything is clean and shiny just for the sake of using RT.
And so I only care about RT in a negative way. It just looks to be a way to try and justify the hilarious pricing. I need a lot to be convinced of RT at this point.

The more I look at it with the games demo'd last night the more I'm underwhelmed by it...
Yes most people wouldn't of seen much difference because there watching on a stream but as a PC gamer from before 3d cards we have always been pushing the graphics side, the one thing nvidia showed was there not sitting still most company's without real competition normally don't try and push.
I hate to think what graphics will look like it another 10 years its going to be fun !

In 10 years time we'll have enough Petaflops for actual Raytracing instead of this hybrid faketracing rubbish

Couldn't care less about it.

I think real time ray tracing will be hugely impactful.... in a couple of years. The demos Nvidia showed were all very simple scenes. The geometry was fairly basic, there weren't many objects, the view distance was low and there generally wasn't much going on. Yet the cards could only achieve a woefully low framerate. I feel like Nvidia is hyping up RTX so hard not because it will actually make a meaningful difference today, but because they are trying to distract from Turing not being much faster than Pascal.

this was on display at the event achieving between 30-60fps, good right? yeah until you realize that its only running at 1080p.... its no wonder there was no benchmarks at the event, i taught amd was bad with the vega launch but this could be on a totally different level

Dear god, thank goodness I cancelled me pre-order
