So now we're being forced to have poorer performance and locked into buying more expensive hardware.

I'll have to pass on this type of crap and vote with my wallet when ray tracing still isn't there for the majority of pc gamers.

I don't care much about RT but the reason they've decided to do RT implementation mandatory is quite good and revolutionary and I can't wait to see it in action. Using RT for pixel perfect hitboxes? Sign me in!

"And now, it has been revealed that the game will use ray tracing (RT) not only to enhance visuals but also to offer key gameplay improvements, such as better hit detection and the ability to distinguish materials in a bid to make the game more immersive."
