Well the website is called logical increments, it's really hard to call ray tracing a logical increment. You are sacrificing too much to gain so little, at least for now.
- breckenedge 4y agoThis is how I see it now too. The manufacturers are capitalizing on people needing to have the best by making even more expensive top tier components. You don’t need 4K or ray tracing to enjoy a triple-A game. Last year, I got a 3070-equipped system, force feedback driving wheel, and a 4k TV as a monitor for under $2k. The games are still quite gorgeous, and I have no idea what I’m missing by not having something more expensive.

- waboremo 4y agoRay tracing IS the logical increment the industry has decided on though. So again, you're spending $2000 to miss out on what the industry has decided on is the next logical step, only to have to spend another ~$500 for whatever upgrade to actually play those games.
- hotstickyballs 4y agoAfaik the industry is only the supply side of the equation. If the market doesn’t think ray tracing isn’t worth it then it won’t happen.
- otikik 4y agoNot worth it
- mosquitobiten 4y ago>Ray tracing IS the logical increment the industry has decided on though. I disagree. Nvidia decided it didn't had enough exclusivity, if the industry decided it was a logical increment then it would've had to come as a request from video games and video games engine developers towards hardware companies. It would've been a more natural progression, we wouldn't have it now and also it wouldn't feel like it's in a perpetual beta phase.
