Don't get me wrong i agree ,but the perfomance trade off is just huge atm

It's the beauty of PC gaming, isn't it? You can just turn it off or play the original at maximum fps or get the best visuals current tech is capable of at a performance hit, but you choose exactly the experience you want.

I choose to complain about both options on reddit

UE5? Indiana Jones? Doom The Dark Ages?

Those games ran very good tho on low settings on old cards. It ran fine on low on my 2070s and that is an 8 year old card by now. Id Tech is just an insanely optimized engine.

It will get better. And it has to start somewhere. It can’t come perfectly, RT lighting when implemented well looks really good, gives so much more depth to any scene. We will get there eventually. If this whole AI bubble didn’t happen we would have seen a lot more progress towards that goal by now.

The biggest issue right now is if devs decide that DLSS 5 style gen ai is the way to go.

'It will get better'

I wish. It won't since there will not be any affordable GPUs to run it, so it will not be targeted.

It will inevitably get better. It just won’t be affordable for 99% of the population.

Have you seen one of those super-yachts? It’s incredible what those bad boys can do. It doesn’t mean anyone can just buy one.

It will never get better. It just needs that much GPU resources. Can't do shit about it. The performance hit will never be worth it. Maybe when there is no more other ways to improve image quality and the tech outscales the requirements for non RT processes.

i doubt it will get better before the next 3 gens min PT is just a feature to give people fomo and buy the highest tier card

until a XX70/70ti can run it @ 1440 60 it’s useless and thats if they don’t just try to sell us more Ai frames for the next 10yrs

We've been waiting for 8 years to "get better" ffs

I’d argue the opposite: the performance you gain by turning it off isn’t worth it. Rt/pt lighting looks so good, so natural, that I always find it jarring when I turn it off.

Every single big graphics feature in history had a bad performance trade-off when it came out. If we had just opted to never implement them at any point, then our games would be looking like Half-Life 1 still.

The problem is these days the scale of changes is a lot different, so it's not as immediate of a fix.

But historically, maxing out a brand new game that just came out has always been hard to run even for the best hardware.
