5 Years in, and I Feel Ray Tracing Is Still a Letdown
View quick summary
Ray tracing has been a major innovation over the last five years. However, today's mid-range graphics cards while supporting RT sometimes aren't capable of running games with ray-tracing enabled in demanding titles like Hogwarts Legacy and Alan Wake 2. Plus, games look amazing without ray-tracing enabled. For console gamers, choosing the performance mode with 60FPS is the preferred choice of many including myself given the smoother gaming experience albeit without ray tracing. After more than 5 years, I expected more out of this so-called "biggest advancement" in graphics!

DirectX 12 is a lower-level API compared to DirectX 11. It is more complicated for developers but gives them more precision on how to use hardware resources such as the CPU and GPU. There are lots of new features supported on DirectX 12 such as Variable Rate Shading (VRS) for improved performance, Ray Tracing for better graphics fidelity, and DirectML for machine-learning centric features in games. Speaking of performance, DirectX 12 is better in Fortnite as I tested. But in Path of Exile better performance is observed with DX11.
