3060 CAN'T DEAL WITH RTX even with DLSS ULTRA PERF
I already know that the game's performance isn't the best, but I can deal with Ghostwire Tokyo RT on 4K (DLSS PERF) at 60 frames but here... I barely can do a mix 27/35... :Geralt:

3060 isn't really meant for ray tracing on this game at max settings especially at 4k (3060 isn't even a 4k centered card). There does seem to be an issue though where dx12 doesn't take advantage of all cores of a CPU which is giving some people performance issues, some people can brute force it but you'll just have to not use RT until or if they ever fix that issue.

The RT used in this game is 4 specific layers, Global Illumination, Shadows, Reflections, and Ambient Occlusion.

A 3060 will not be able to handle all of those at once, let alone at ANY DLSS level at 4k. I would start at native 1080p and work your way down there with DLSS if you must have RT enabled, or just disable RT entirely. Don't expect to get better than PS5 performance for a card that costs less than a PS5.

140+fps >RTX

PS5 does not have Ultra+ settings, PC does and RTX 3060 can run Ultra+ without RT just fine.

Run the game at 1080p with RT on or don't use RT. 3060 is an entry level card. I know because I have one. Your cpu will affect how well it runs this game
How many times does this need to be said? You cannot own a 3060 (not even a Ti lol) and reasonably expect to use ray tracing in games. Yes, this game is poorly optimized in DX12 - but putting that aside, you need a better GPU, plain and simple

3060 is not an entry card, its about Mid range, it still beats cards like 980, 1080, 2070.

What is the min level nvidia card that will reliably run RT at 50+ fps?

In this game, probably 4080 - 4090, RT is poorly optimised.

Choose between DX 12 Raytracing that comes with DLSS that is a blurry mess in this game at native 1080/1440p + still very low fps + stuttering, or

DX 11 no RT, with much better ambient occlusions, Highest fps, high resolution (DLDSR 4K) + TAAU :crusader_helmet:

Cyberpunk & Spiderman Remastered work SUPER well with RT & DLSS. That's not an excuse. a 3060 should be able to run that, specially at 1080p!

The 3050 is an entry level card, the 3060 is a mid range card.

I have a RTX 9090 which is also an entry level card.

Anything that has 80 RT cores or better, my 6950XT can handle it at around 40FPS without FSR with ULTRA+ settings and full ray tracing and it has 80 RT cores..

Spiderman is reflections and shadows afaik, not as expensive as RTGI. Cyberpunk also doesn't have RTGI and uses RT lighting, shadows, sun shadows, and reflections. RTGI and RTAO are SUPER expensive to use on top of the CPU issues that the game has which is even worse on dx12.

You should compare it to crysis remastered and metro exodus instead because they actually have the most options for ray tracing including RTGI.

OP is saying they wanna run it at 4k maxed, the 3060 can potentially do 1080p with DLSS and medium settings with RTGI and maybe RTAO but thats stretching it.
