tl;dr big performance improvement in ray tracing on AMD cards coming, with the dev claiming a 3x performance boost in Hitman 3.

Wait, AMD can raytrace on Linux? All the games I play on my 6800xt have the raytracing graphics options disabled.

Edit: I'm an idiot, I forgot the 7xxx series has actual RT cores.

I think you have to start the game with some arguments to enable ray tracing. Atleast that's what i had to do to enable ray tracing in cyberpunk. Game crashed instantly after i turned it on though lol.
