RT performance hit is too high and visual upgrade is very minor. Balanced and Performance modes are useless, both have high fps hit but fail in most scenes, so ignore both of these modes. RT Quality mode does provide better reflections but in outdoor sections of the game need more VRAM, most of the game is indoor though where it is playable with 8GB GPUs too. But even then you have to wonder if it's worth reducing half fps. To make matters worse RT Quality mode too fails to provide better reflections in some scenes. RT implementation is in beta though, so perhaps it will be improved with time but for the time being I would suggest to ignore it's existence.

So, judging from this comparison I can definitely say that, at least for now, the RT options are totally worthless. The performance is way worse and the image quality is identical to RT off if not even worse, because some reflections are completely missing with RT on.
There has not been a UE4 title that actually handles RT properly. It always hammers the CPU in a singlethreaded way and is also way heavier on the GPU than in many other titles. The only really good implementation so far is the one in Cyberpunk... Hitman's implementation is also not very good. Dying Light 2 is quite good, but has average quality. Alan Wake 2 is amazing but very demanding. SWJS is terrible and also looks worse in some areas. Hogwarts Legacy is also terrible, incredibly CPU limited. Callisto protocol which again runs on UE4 is incredibly CPU limited as well. And now we have Atomic Heart, another CPU limited game with RT on UE4. All UE4 RT implementations simply run like crap, so probably the engine is just not ready for it.
@@VittorioBaldini1997 RT is for lazy programmers not users. They can crank out RT faster than doing raster. I agree its not worth the cost. But its a win win for people selling cards + developers. Crank out games faster (yes slower performance) + fix it with new hardware = more video card Sales. They win consumer loses.
Lol. and Nvidia still wants to release a 12GB RTX 5070.... . Just to force ppl to upgrade next generation for more Vram. Unless ofc you want to spend 1000$+ on a 80 class GPU. Outside of that, I think that the game looks great even without RT. But yea, as always it's not worth the performance hit imo.
@@S2GamesBench Yea, a ton of old and new rumors all say the same thing. The 5090 will be the best of them all, just like we have with the 4090 now. And everything else will be gimped to make it look good. The standard 5060 won't even use GDDR 7, and it's gonna have a 128bit bus. Dunno about the Vram of it, but a 8GB variant will prob be released. So i am not sure if the standard RTX 5070 will even reach a 4080 in performance, especially after i saw the core count leak on it. The most recent one, from good sources. I expect it to cost 599$, and be a little faster than the 4070Ti Super, but still a little behind a 4080 Super. So in essence you are just gonna get a 12GB version of a 4070Ti Super +, for 600$ instead of 800$. I think i will just buy a 4070Ti Super, and call it a day for the next 3 years. Till the new console generation will start. It's 70%-75%(according to Hardware Unboxed Review) faster than my 3070, has enough Vram for all my 1440p needs. And if i buy a Gigabyte Gaming OC model, it's even 2-3 fps faster than other models, so it's another 1-2% performance gains. I pref to have 16GB of Vram, over a 5070 that's gonna be 10%-14% stronger in raster. You see it yourself, how some shitty PC ports eat Vram like it's nothing. Windows 10/11 alone eats about 500-900Vram in certain situations. But i am still considering it ofc.
I think we all have a love hate relationship with Nvidea/amd Can't quite stop playing games and hate to have to pay up the nose for new hardware to play slower yet same looking games.
Not only is it worthless, but it actually makes the game look worse in many situations (due to their poor implementation), and most importantly - it makes the game stutter. It rarely stutters without it. Cuts your FPS by more than half. Even on the 4090 I'm not using it. Another issue is that Frame Gen in this game feels worse than any other Frame Gen I've tried, even if your base FPS is 90+, which should never make frame gen feel bad. So both of their features are completely broken.
MF be like "See, that's why you buy Nvidia over AMD" Amazing Ray Tracing here folks, gonna put this next to Armored Core and Elden Ring as the benchmarks for rTx
The game has a bug, once you set the settings for RTX you have to exit the game delete the config file for caching shader to recompile again, then the perfomance is back with RTX on.
Devs did insane job with graphics fidelity without RT and mfs complain about not having RT, and now look at this... Probably waste more time for a few more months to optimize it and right after the worst DLC.
