Raytracing overblown? (lemm.ee)

Much as I love the look of Quake RTX, it feels like it’s a barely there performance hog in modern games. You look at the benchmarks on the newer cards and so much is focused on ray tracing performance but I just don’t see that big a difference in Cyberpunk on an 3080 Ti unless I look really hard for it.

Am I alone in this? I’d much rather have 100+ non generated FPS at 4k over what raytracing is delivering in major titles. And by 4k I really mean my super modded Skyrim VR :)

Unfortunately I avoid epic games mostly because it's just easier to use steam on Linux but I'm super looking forward to control 2, I'm sure it's going to look amazing.

Well it's one of, if not the best looking game I think I have ever played. Also control 2 will probably also be on Epic. I understand the hesitation but you should find a way to make Epic work on Linux, or play it on a windows partition because it's really good and you'll miss out.

It works fine I just need to use another launcher to manage it. If control 2 is epic exclusive then c'est la vie, there's plenty of other games.

Control 2 will not be an epic exclusive. AW2 was published by Epic, hence the exclusivity. Control 2 (and all future remedy games, I believe) will be self published by Remedy. FBC: Firebreak, their next game, and set in the Oldest House from Control, already has a Steam page and will release there day 1.
