So you can do what you want with your 6900XT.

Without RT you will hit 60fps up to 4K

i get 120+ fps on ultra at 1440p with my 6800 (non XT) using DX12, I lock fps at my refresh rate, so I dunno if it actually goes higher.

RT does not perform well, just ignore it.

I have Sapphire Nitro+ 6900xt. Usually well over 100fps with dx11 (2560x1080). dx12 performance is trash. Ray Tracing is completely unnecessary and commonly considered a gimmick by Nvidia to sell new gfx cards, when compared side by side with no RT most people can't tell a difference.. Don't bother.

For ME DX12 runs clearly better then DX11. And the RT implementation is fantasitic (even if demanding)


Jump to 1:20min and tell me that its look worse or completely unnecessary...

Worse, no. Basically the same as the ~20+ hours I've put into the game? Thus unnecessary, yes most definitely.

Probably not the best game to use as a sample though since it is so riddled with bugs. I just captured a comparison for myself, toggling the RT settings on and off. Either it's doing nothing, besides tanking frame rate, or my completely normal non-augmented human eyes are the bottle neck... But I have to assume it's doing "something" because toggling the settings clearly tanks the FPS and the process of toggling does take some time for it to apply...

Though I must admit dx12 is running much better today compared to a couple days ago. So the dev's must be doing something right 👍

I've watched it over and over, the RT settings on vs off.... I just don't see any difference... Throw me in Shadow of the Tomb Raider though and the shadows.. are very easy to compare...

thx guys i have tested both and it runs way better on d12 for me. lots of stutters on dx11.
