The problem with comparison videos is that most of them are focused on comparing games with RTX on/off. But this means that the game is developed with raytracing as an afterthought: it cannot depend on it for core features, because the majority of consumers don't have it yet. Imagine a shooter with, say, a subway entrance level. Initially the indoor part is lighted by overhead lamps. During a shootout, the defending team can destroy those to provide cover. while they can still see backlighted silhouettes of people walking in. The attackers might choose to park a semitruck at the entrance to provide some cover in shadow. Or imagine the end of an escalator. How do you look for people coming in? Obviously, looking directly into the shaft exposes you to anyone coming in, but perhaps you can use the slight reflectivity of the marble floor to look at it indirectly. Should you use the east of west side of a valley to go to a target? Well, that depends on the position of the sun, of course. You want to hide in the shadow. But what if a day only lasts 5 minutes on your world? Shadows are constantly changing, and so are the hiding places. Want to hide in a room? Turn off the lights to make the window into a one-way mirror. Be sure to turn off your laser pointer and flashlight, though! And have you seen the mirror scene in John Wick (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-TZCEyok_o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-TZCEyok_o) ? Try doing that with a rasterizer! So no, using it selectively isn't the way forward, if you ask me. We'll only see the full magic of it if we're able to use it fully in every scenario. We'll only figure out how to use it when we see how gamers interact with the effects of it. All the things I described above aren't something the developer explicitly programmed, they're just properties inherent to raytracing left for the player to discover. Only after a few years of that will developers be able to fully make use of the benefits it provides.
