After I guessed WRONG 3 times in a row I decided rtx isn't for me

You chose a weird scene for Witcher. It looks *considerably* better with RT on and the differences are very noticeable. Good video otherwise.

The difference is like 4%; why are we investing so much money into a technology that is barely worth it? I would much rather have sharper textures and details with good antialiasing instead.

Honestly I feel like path tracing vs ray tracing makes a bigger difference than standard ray tracing vs none at all.

undervooltingh will reduce performance, right?

I got a couple wrong. Wow, surprisingly hard to tell the difference. No way I'd tell a difference while actually playing a game I don't think.

After owning an RTX 4070 for over a year and playing plenty of games with ray tracing enabled, I'd say that, ultimately, no it's not worth it. It's really only in a small handful of games in which ray tracing makes a significant, easily-noticable difference. As we all know already, with most games you need side-by-side comparison shots of 'ray tracing on VS ray tracing off'. And even then, you have to stare at the picture and squint to notice the differences. And in some games, the ray tracing implementation is just trash and makes reflections and shadows look WORSE. The shadows and reflections look like sh*t with ray tracing enabled and the non-ray traced reflections and shadows actually look better. AND.... In exchange for all of this, you lose half of your performance. Your in-game FPS plummets. And for what? At best, all you get is 'improvements' that are barely noticeable. And at worst, the 'improvements' actually look WORSE. No. Not worth it.

Ray Tracing makes a HUGE difference in Hogwarts... My God...

Thanks man. Worked like a charm. ❤

i´ve coil whin under low load in diferent situations. for example entering the hideout in Tarkov. main menu, stash adn game are okay (other games too). but as soon i enter the hideot - i whines more than me after a breakup

50 here.. been gaming since the 2600, for those GenZ's, this was a gaming device from Atari.. yes long ago indeed. Maybe I am just... well.. just getting old right Lol, but hot damn I enable ray tracing and substantially if minimum I can see a difference where I can say - it's like night and day, and not too mention how it takes a hit on performance. Anyone seeing more or less the same?

i think it looks better without ray tracing! lol Ray tracing seems to just make it look brighter in random areas and throws off the shading if anything. No Ray Tracing looks more natural AMD it is lol

I just play games without noticing the environment. Play Some game on low setting and don't really care that much.

0:45 my gpu is having intense coil whine even while watching this video. only a little video load is ramping up the coil whine. its an asus rog strix 3090 oc. i dont know what to do

Rtx is a welcome addition, when it is well implemented into a game. A lot of games do support rtx, but poorly. A game with a good implemented rtx will do the difference. Like cyberpunk, the witcher 3 next gen, and dying light 2 for example. Immediatly noticable

Wtf I just got all wrong , thsi proves that rt is just a gimmick and a waste of fps and electricity

Couldnt tell them apart. RT in games is a gimmick to raise GPU prices.

I literally see no difference

i cannot

Ray tracing is overrated

I am ashamed, a bit of a mix! But to be fair (or an excuse) It was a little bit too fast for me.. i can't look that fast and see the difference between the 2 samples. When i play around with RTX at home, i do think it does look better, it just pops a bit more. Shadow and lighting are making more sense (reflections as well) But in the end, it's just like a black and white movie, at some point you don't notice it anymore... Just like OLED everybody is so hyped about OLED (me 2, i think it's cool) But if i am honest, Its just like RTX, it's a little bit prettier, but it doesnt make a big difference. Except RTX, because i notice my FPS going down and it often feels less smooth then without RTX, and... DLSS that i need to switch to performance in order to make the game playable. Allthough i think it's cool and i love graphics, but it's just a gimmick in the end.

i hate coil whine... cuz my PC is extremly quiet and fuking GPU making noises .... hate it so much. 500 euro GPU

i upgraded my gpu from 1660 super to 4060ti and the sound started but the mind buggling thing is that the coil sound only occurs for a min or 2 on a cold start and only on no stress enviroment cuz when i start a game heavy one the sound completly goes away sooo idkkkkk

intro 🤣🤣🤣

Ray Tracing is Absolutely not worth ausing in gaming right now or the next 2-4 years

None of these really seemed like it would be worth the frame rate hit. It would be hard to tell the difference when actually running around.

My brain is so used to raster, I got all wrong

Still a gimmic

The only and I do mean the only game where I have seen Raytracing completely transform a game is Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition and that came like at the start of this trend. For most games you need like side by side or very close attention to notice anything at all.

i didnt used to have coil whine on my rx 6650 XT for a 4 months, sadly forgot what driver version i had, but as soon as i updated the adrenaline driver, BOOM, COIL WHINE. limiting fps didnt work, undervolting didnt work, all of this was on adrenaline 24.9. Updated to 24.10 it still makes some coil whine, but it goes away after like 20s, its quiet on idle. perhaps i should stop updating e.e

What's the fucking point of getting a 4090 if i have to limit my FPS under my own target?

we dont need 32gb but the new AAA games needs 32gb

Fantastic video. Thanks you.

I just wanna say this. Is very easy to decide if you wanna care about ray tracing with the consequences of wallet. And that is by thinking which games you usually play, starting by that at least, because games that really benefit from this are things like cyberpunk. And even so, the benefit is very small for most persons, and that is where I'm going. If you emulate, if you play old games, if you care about other aspects like frame rate, etc... then is not important. But you could even be in the range of people that only plays blockbusters and graphical marvels and EVEN SO leave aside rt. Because even some in that perspective prefer a other aspects that makes the image beautiful and the fps to make it smooth than the drop for a tiny bit more of beauty. Is too demanding and for very specific people.

Ray tracing is the same as fixing the little strands of hair on your head in the mirror thinking it’s making you look so much more different.

Ray tracing is a scam

stop buying cards with coil whine

What if you have a high pitched tinnitus sound that is like permanent and that is like the same beep tinnitus sound that gets louder if you start game. It's also slightly there if its in the menu and if the fan rotates more starting a game the same tinnitus sound gets louder. Is it just a whiny whistling fan? 🤕

RTX is noticeable on darker areas. The way light "spreads" makes them brighter than pure raster. When you light a dark room with your phone screen, it "spreads"... It doesn't shine

Latley Ive been playing Control maxed out 1440p with all Ray Tracing effects on. With my 7900xt Im getting above 60 fps and with afmf2 on its a buttery smooth 120 plus.

I just thinked about to buy a gtx 1080ti... but i just thinked about... what about ray tracing... i miss out rt if i buy the 1080ti what looks like the best option for me... because i can afford it.. xD but i see fcking no difference... WTF thanks the video... its help me to to give another + why i choose the 1080ti and not a rtx3060

you mixed up the rtx off and on images for elden ring the second time. on shows a lack of ambient occlusion whereas the right image has softer dark shadows from the ray tracing...

I think ray tracing is not worth the power it needs

Thanks for this video, now I understand for sure that tracing is not worth a single cent spent on it. The difference is so insignificant that you have to zoom in at 200% to see any difference, and it’s funny, for 6 years this is all they could do, but I don’t understand whether it looks better or worse? if there is any difference at all. At the same time, productivity costs are simply colossal, 50-70%.

Its been 5 years and its still a con...

4K RT OFF looks better and have better FPS than 2K RT ON.

Cyberpunk looks stunning without but next world with it on.

Why did I prefer how the games looks with RTX off? Each of the games comparissons I prefered the RTX off version before know it... No matter, I guess I found my answer. Thanks for the video.

why didnt you see sun rise in withcer 3.there was barely any rays

Yup, I literally couldn't tell. Often preferred one without Ray Tracing.
