Whats raytracing setting hybrid?

[karmazyn1]

And should I leave it like this?

Hybrid uses a combination of screenspace reflections and RT-reflections. While Raytraced uses RT exclusively, Hybrid will be less accurate but perform better.

I would say use hybrid, ray traced reflections seem to be limited to a certain distance.

The naming of this setting is quite misleading I feel. The game doesn't use exclusive ray tracing for its reflections, it uses a combination of ray tracing and screen space. Foliage and fine details are not ray traced in reflections, as far as I know those are screen space regardless. Only main solid structures like buildings or tree trunks etc are ray traced. The hybrid setting essentially falls back to all screen space reflections so anything not on the screen will not be reflected. It saves about 10 or so fps on my 2060 i think from testing but you means you get the odd effects of reflections vanishing when you down to water etc.

Yeah it's improperly labeled. "Hybrid" is actually just all screen space reflections, and "Raytraced" is a hybrid-mix of SSR and RT reflections.

Really the options should say "SSR" and "Hybrid".

The RT reflections in this game are really limited (something like Control does it much better), but I think they did that because there's not a lot of reflective surfaces in the game, and they could afford to give more GPU to doing the real time global illumination with infinite bounces, which IMO is more important anyway.
