Do you Play with Ray Tracing?

Does Ray Tracing make the Game so much better?

[Parross]

It does actually make it look very good. Especially the reflection setting. And the ray traced lighting at at least on medium to have the best experience without loosing too many frames

I has the same questions and one day and I spend like 2 hours playing with Ray tracing and without, and i need take screenshots and compare in 2 screens at same time.

The answer is quite bad, because yes, you can see there is better ilumination (ambient oclusión overall), and you have better reflexes. The point is,Its something you cant notice if no one point It, and after , It is something that takes little time to ignore.

All said all tath because It tales half of you FPS. In mi opinión,you can say objectively IS better, but it's far from worth it.

No.
Just play the game.

Once I got used to seeing the reflections on everything I can't live without it. But I play with modded faster PT. Can't wait to be a gigachad 5090 owner and get 100+ fps with PT on.

Try yourself and choose what you prefer.
RT cost a lot of performance so you will have lower resolution but better lights and shadows.

With path tracing it looks really impressive.

4K RT on an AMD card? Someone is a sucker for punishment.

If you have the hardware to run it smoothly, 100% yes. Paired with a decent HDR screen the game can look stunning. Pathtracing looks phenomenal, even better than just regular raytracing but you would need a 4080 to enjoy it with a nice framerate.

Ray Tracing makes it look a bit better but I find the performance impact isn't worth it. So nah.

Ray Tracing by itself doesn't really make a big difference in visuals or performance for me, but Path Tracing impacts both pretty significantly. Looks great, definitely has more graphical glitches.

Not even remotely close to being worth the performance penalty.

I played through the game the first two times with a GTX using FSR. It was visually enjoyable.

I recently upgraded my rig to an RTX card capable of Ray Tracing.

Holy feces it's SO much prettier.

As a side note, my performance is fine. I get a solid 60FPS using the 30 series.

Yes it does make a huge difference. I used to play this on a 970gtx last year with med settings and no ray tracing while using fsr,it was a blurry mess,although still "ok" looking. Now im on a 4070rtx maxed out with ray tracing, and the difference is massive,its jawdropping good looking. It is Much better looking imo with raytracing on.
