About "ray tracing", up to now, I have never seen a game that made me go "WOW!" it really is a gimmick and nothing more.  I think that the only thing that you gain out of this is a higher monthly electricity bill and that is it.  Each time I turned it on, the wattage cranked up to 200watts when usually it's more or less 150watts.,(reply>), @Burb Yes Control is graphically amazing with or without ray tracing.  I did enabled it, I did see a difference but(to my own taste) not enough to keep it.  At that time I had a RTX 2060 6GB and it was very demanding to keep it on.  Since the game is still amazing without it I turned it off.  The other ray tracing game I have is the Hitman series(it got ray tracing in May 2022). And that is another game that the graphics are amazing and there is not much difference to keep RT on.  If you have a suggestion for a game that you saw a significant difference, please share it :),(reply>), Control looks absolutely stunning because you’re in buildings with a lot of windows and the reflections make things look 10x better. <br><br>That being said, most games barely look better with it on and its just a performance hit. Control is really the only game I’ve seen that actually has a noticeably significant difference.,(reply>), Just like HDR: "It's the future"<br>Sure, good for you. Come back to me when it's ready for the present!<br><br>(I have an HDR TV and an HDR monitor and disabled it on both, because HDR still sucks on Windows. SDR already looks great on these displays, meanwhile turning on HDR only makes the desktop environment and 95% of my content look pale, while <i>maybe</i> making that 5% HDR content look marginally better. No thanks, not worth the hassle!),(reply>), @Jayden Miller Yes, Minecraft is beautiful. That is a game that ray tracing really makes a noticeable difference.,(reply>), @Jayden Miller It looks amazing amazing, but after a few hours the novelty wears off and you don't even notice/care about raytracing in your game anymore.<br>It obviously does make games look better, but so far it hasn't made a single game more fun to play imo.
