AMD RX 6000 Ray Tracing is 25% SLOWER than RTX 3080!

[Jokester]

I'm probably buying a 3080 but I most likely wont turn on Ray tracing because it is just a gimmick in its infancy. One day it might matter or make games amazing. But right now to me it seems more like a shiny trinket you don't really need or care about.

Ray tracing is still 5+ years from mainstream. Nvidia banked on it early because their customers often don't care about their cards costing ridiculous prices for such a niche feature. AMD is still on the right track, and when or even IF ray tracing comes about to everything or is replaced by something better, AMD will have an answer.
