What's it got over the 20X? Is ray tracing that big a deal?

I've been thinking about that a lot too. Graphics card have been getting better and better, but hardly anything has been coming out that really takes advantage of them. I mean, for as revolutionary as real-time raytracing is, it's just not that important or dramatically better in visual presentation than the lighting methods that have existed for the past some decades. Graphics in general for the past 5-10 years in general have really plateaued.

20X was the one that invested everything into raytracing. Supposedly this series has raytracing and also performance.

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

These cards draw too much power for me, and really all I use my graphics card for is aggressive madVR settings which my 1080 does fine with. Also I think they're too expensive. Maybe in a couple years if prices for the next gen drop I'll upgrade. I don't expect it to with Nvidia though.

Arguably, these cards can help emulation of more recent console generations; but otherwise, yeah, the most advancement software-wise I've seen is crypto. May as well stop calling these graphics cards and start calling them what they are more like nowadays: secondary computers cards.

Kinda funny how the newest console generation was parading itself as the best thing ever, and then comes this...

AMD's responded to the latest reveal

There's nothing to use it, though. RTX is available for... Minecraft and recently Fortnite. PC is unfortunately largely defined by ports, and while Japanese companies are getting better at it I don't expect them to start using cutting-edge technology that's not possible on consoles.
GPUs are really not worth upgrading any time soon unless you an old one

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

Apparently not that soon.
