Not the lighting. Using it for reflections or shadows is bush league.

RT gets interesting the moment GI with a sufficient ray count and bounce depth is implemented and all available lightsources are considered.
Incidentally that`s also where it gets really expensive which is why we`ll probably not see it on consoles this gen.
I´m talking about metro exodus enhanced edition level RT and up, even though Control and CP2077 aren`t that bad either.
RT as it`s implemented in Tomb Raider is a nearly pointless waste of resources.

For lighting it can do incredible things, reflections benefit pretty greatly too, shadows have a less appreciable difference.
I wouldn't say it's a waste, but it's a hell of a premium.

Hardware isnt upto the task.
RTX has lot of potential from creating lighting systems to next gen textures/ skin tones etc.

When you get games like the enhanced edition of Metro Exodus with a dramatic difference in graphics rendering, then yeah.
Also, guys let's not forget tensor cores that's part of RTX which alone, imo, makes RTX GPUs worth it.
EDIT: almost all of you seem to forget that DLSS also comes under RTX umbrella, it's not just ray tracing = RTX.

Yes and dropping some cash on a RTX card to replace my GTX 1060 was a great decision. Just for DLSS alone.

I'll make my decision tomorrow when Metro Enhanced Edition comes out.
So Far, I believe RTX is not worth it. RTX combined with DLSS though...ooo baby.

Yeah, for me, RTX is worth it. RayTracing in general is worth it, once the cost becomes trivial (Hardware requirements wise) that's when we'll see the glory of it. Lighting/light baking is such a huge burden on dev teams.

I told you, graphics don´t need to be accurate because a decent approximation is generally good enough to fool your brains. And even though a few people seem to think that it is such a big leap in lighting, let´s remember that they are usually comparing the "look at me", sweetened lighting (paid by the nvidia marketing dept.), to lighting implementations meant to run on gtx 750ti like, base hardware as the basis (ps4); or java in the case of minecraft.

UE5 Demo's Lumens had everyone fooled at first glance, even the "experts," down to even the resolution.

Honestly still think Minecraft RTX is the best looking game yet.

Totally.
RT, 1 or 2?
There are differences but it’s not like it’s something I actually care about and is willing to trade framerate stability for. When it’s done well and maxed out it matters but for the most part I think they just add some minor thing for PR reasons.

I think Cyberpunk without Ray Tracing looks bad, with ray tracing it looks great. 2022+ video games will begin to sell on the ray tracing.

DLSS has to be supported by the game developers. It is not built into every game. For example RE8 doesnt support it.
I think DLSS is the most hyperbole term when it comes to nvidias cards.

I've only seen RTX in action on my mates PC that uses a 2070 Super, I couldn't tell too much of a difference so I'd say no.
Then again, my eyes are a tad buggered.

Watch the DF of Metro: Exodus enhanced edition, built ground up with RT required
Looks absolutely incredible
CP77 with RT maxed out is transformative
With DLSS, a 3060 Ti can get you smooth RT performance at 1440p ultra

The title of the video isn't really the same as his conclusion. He even shows the huge difference in Metro Exodus at the end. However, rasterized lighting is also incredibly advanced at this point, which is good as the new consoles won't be able to do advanced ray tracing.
And a major benefit is that ray tracing allows developers to spend less time setting up fake lighting and faking reflections, and to spend more time building the game instead.

The cliffs are that Linus thinks that the fakery that developers have used over the years has come so close to what RTX does, it's hard to tell the difference in a lot of games. As an example, devs can program water to have reflections and it looks nearly as good as what RTX does.
I still think RTX is superior and some games look mindblowing with it but to his point, there aren't a lot of games as of it yet that really take advantage of it. The ones that do though are pretty amazing. Here's a good video:
