Intel Arc support has officially arrived on SteamOS, and we are testing the brand new Intel Arc B580 to see if it can power the ultimate budget Steam Machine...
It creates beautiful videos in satisfactory and other slow games. If AI never happened i bet cards would have been cheap enough for most games to afford ray tracing by default but alas
Regardless of cost, not even the mightiest gpu can play a 1440p game with path tracing for example at high refresh rates, without dlss. So no, the cost isn’t the only issue.
This is a minor cosmetic feature used to entice fools to depart with their money.
Raytracing has never been worth the performance penalty imo.

In a very limited list of games on a very few expensive GPU it is worth. 90% of time on 90% of the hardware it is not worth indeed.
