    Two problems, they are big ones:

    1. The hardware is expensive for a marginal improvement
    2. The games coming out that best leverage the features like Ray tracing are also expensive and not good

      Nvidia claims the 5070 will give 4090 performance. That’s a huge generation uplift if it’s true. Of course, we’ll have to wait for independent benchmarks to confirm that.

      The best ray tracing games I’ve seen are applying it to older games, like Quake II or Minecraft.
