You want us to yell out our credit card details over the phone like the good old days?

HardwareUnboxed did a with/without ray tracing comparison. TL;DR in most games it’s not worth the performance hit. Don’t bother with ray tracing for now, especially on low or mid-range hardware. https://youtu.be/DBNH0NyN8K8
