State of RT today. Is it usuable?

Overall I agree, On release the Freesync market was flooded with monitors that had sub-standard adaptive-sync support, Things have changed a lot but I think how much better it is now will be down to whether Nvidia are willing to have a support team working on adaptive-sync support to ensure their cards are tuned for specific adaptive-sync monitors.
G-sync monitors work out of the box because they have the G-sync module inside, I think a good Freesync 2 ready adaptive-sync monitor will be every bit as good as a G-sync monitor if Nvidia want it to be,
The big question is will Nvidia want it to be or will they want to keep G-sync ahead because buying a G-sync monitor locks you into their eco-system?

Because it locks you in to their ecosystem.

Although saying that, lets say that Nvidia cards support FreeSync. All that does is open up the market for Nvidia owners to buy Monitors that are Freesync or Gsync. As long as the cards they produce are performant then I cant see how this is a bad thing for them to do. In fact that's exactly what they've started doing.

So yea, they are still locking you in but also allowing the Green side at least access to some Red side monitors.

Pah, Betamax. Or are you too young?

Too young.

Good to see Vampire Masquerade 2, Dying Light 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 all supporting RTX. Looking forward to these games a lot and will play them once the 3000 series hits.

Not touching the 2000 series with its first gen disappointing RTX performance. If Nvidia are real about pushing RT they will provide more RT grunt on a 3070 than the 2080 Ti.

Exactly. I have nothing against RTX. I'm looking forward to the 3000 series.

CyberPunk 2077 and then I will buy an RTX card. Hopeful 3000 series will be here or close by by then.
