Now will ray tracing be just a gimmick for games now and disappear in a few years? Well unfortunately I level my crystal ball in my pants which are now at the cleaners so can't help there
I want games to look good, that's the most important thing to me, if a game looks really good at 80fps versus mediocre at 200fps, I'll take the good looking game every time. Now that's the great thing about games, you can often customize them to fit YOUR needs. If playing at 300fps is important to you then turn settings down to potato and you're good to go, me I didn't buy a monitor larger than 1080 resolution because frame rates was my #1 goal.

Thing is that RT has been around for a quite a few years. I still don't see a really overwhelmingly compelling game for it. Cyberpunk was supposed to be it, but you know how that went.
For example, Witcher III was overwhelmingly compelling for a high end card. But since then?
I guess this question is more for the people who already have RT. Has the experience been life changing for you?

PC parts prices at spring/summer 2023 drops slowly and looks as at autumn will be economic recession, so, I suppose, gaming GPU at the end of 2023 will drops more. Especially AMD.
RTX 3070's are still going for over $600 new retail. The RTX 4070 (non-Ti) is rumored to have an MSRP at $750 next month.
The RX 6800 also have a TBP around 250w, which is roughly the same as the RX 6750 XT.
I don't think the RX 7800 is scheduled to release until June. So, I think there will be more downward price movement, but not until then.
Just kidding of course but why would any one waste money on last gen stuff during a glut.
Resale value aside, for those who can wait a few months and if we don't get EMP'ed by Russian hypersonics will be the fps kings.
