Raytracing should be the peak version of graphics right? Well, with a hardware crisis, marginal increases to GPU power and increased RT demands... raytracing is lookin kinda goofy. So I tested it across a bunch of different GPUs in the latest games like Control Resonant, Witcher 3 Remaster, and 007 First Light. ==JOIN THE DISCORD!== https://discord.gg/xbVEkhPJ72 DF: https://youtu.be/SlRpJ553RzE?si=iT0Pdy9C5NHJXsUE HUB: https://youtu.be/apM1C55SevE?si=sRFHctMng3jokUHp https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/control-resonant-path-tracing-dlss-4-5-ray-reconstruction/ https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/witcher-3-wild-hunt-remastered-path-tracing-dlss-4-5-ray-reconstruction/ https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/ https://www.techpowerup.com/352508/modders-unlock-dlss-multi-frame-generation-for-rtx-30-series-ampere-gpus 0:00- 8 years 3:04- can you tell? 8:14- RTX 5060 ($450) vs Ray Tracing 16:00- RTX 3060 vs Ray Tracing 20:06- RTX 5070 ($850) vs Ray Tracing 23:09- the frame gen lie 25:14- RTX 5080 ($1600) vs Ray Tracing 27:23- was it worth it? 31:05- has it gotten better?
