Too little gained for too much lost basically.

In titles that lack environments with prominent reflective metallic surfaces you often don’t notice the ray-tracing very much. Most players are going to stare down at puddles and wet surfaces. Ray tracing doesn’t impact immersion as much as some other graphical effects.

Seriously, it's been such a thief of processing power that could've been used to add something of actual substance to the game. We got this sizeable leap in power from last gen, and a lot of it is being wasted on Ray tracing imo

Yep. Ray tracing kills the framerate for slightly better lighting and reflections. I have seen some impressive tech demos where it seems to make a meaningful difference, but in real games it is never worth it.

I honestly rarely notice it in some games. Like RE Village used it and I couldn’t tell you if any example I noticed. I only know because the trailer mentioned using it.

Frankly, RT reflections do not interest me much, on the other hand, RT lighting makes a huge difference.

Devs want it though because its a less time and labor intensive way of creating reflections.

It will be on the PS5 Pro when the RT is separated from the CU's and doesn't cause performance loss.
