Yeah NVIDIA is a bullshit company and has been for a while. AMD and Intel need to get their raytracing game up so they become a real competitor for NVIDIA especially now when there are more games that require raytracing.
No games "require" raytracing and the ones that support it may look better when you turn it on but it's not worth the performance cost.
Not true anymore.
The Indiana Jones game that just came out does require ray tracing. There are a few others coming out that do as well.
Fortunately, they will be crippling themselves in the console market doing shit like this, so there should still be plenty of choice left. I wouldn't be surprised if Bethesda eventually released a non-ray tracing version of the game after whatever deal they signed with NVIDIA expires and they consider porting the game to platforms without RT support.
