Any mods to turn off ray tracing so far?
Forcing ray tracing with no way to disable it or adjust it based on your GPU is a really poor decision. The person who creates a mod to fully disable it is going to have the most popular mod for this game. Go for it, boys —make it happen! JUST DO IT!

it was developed around ray tracing, "turning it off" would break the game, there would be no lighting, reflections, or shadows, it wouldn't even launch

To explain it simply: if you turned off RTGI (ray-traced global illumination) in Doom, it would be like turning off the sun in the sky.

You can turn off RT reflections, and maybe RT ambient occlusion too, but the BASE of lighting is the sun in the sky.

And that will increasingly consist of RTGI because it's more realistic and easier. Developers don't have to bake simulated lights and shadows.

DF has a little section about that. 2:48 mark.
But to save you time, tough luck.
That aside, the game runs excellently at 1440p@60fps Ultra Nightmare setting on a 7-year-old RTX 2080 Ti @ 9900k combination.

So I hardly understand why anyone is complaining about it at all. Even the PS5 (hardware design from 2016) has few issues and delivers a smooth gaming experience on the monitor.

How old does a PC have to be to have problems with Doom TDA?!

He just keeps talking how this is making devs time easier. What about... you know.... PLAYING THE GAME?

Remember when Ratchet and Clank developers claimed that the game can't work on HDDs ?
Then someone made a mod for it and made it possible.

There is a chance of non ray tracing mod to be possible with this game.

I wasn't even really talking about the performance.

What I mean is:
These new effects don't really show up during the gameplay. The guy needs to slow down the game to half speed to even notice them.
