RTX sucks and isn't worth your $ (prove me wrong!)
207Ray tracing is amazing! In theory... It's the future, and we have hardware that can do it NOW. But RTX cards are expensive. Even NOT considering the inflation and supply issues and scalpers and miners and predatory marketplace practices, even if we consider these new 20 and 30 series RTX graphics cards at their elusive MSRP, any way you look at it, RTX tech is EXPENSIVE. Not just in terms of actual dollars, but in terms of performance. There is a huge trade off that you're paying to click that little RTX enabled box in your game's settings.
Which begs the question - is it worth it? Well let's answer that together, shall we?
