 |  Is ray tracing really worth it? Adam Vjestica exposes the Emperor's new clothes Adam Vjestica at Tech Radar appears to have opened a can of worms by pointing out that despite the hype, ray tracing is really not worth bothering about and he has a point. At the moment all the big names are hyping up ray tracing as a cure for cancer, but while it does seem to have some advantages it comes with such a performance hit it makes it effectively useless. Vjestica cites Ninja Theory’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice received a surprise update for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on August 9, which introduced several next-gen optimisations for the game such as ray tracing, a higher resolution target and a 120fps mode. https://fudzilla.com/news/graphics/5...eally-worth-it |
