    Step 1. Turn on ray tracing

    Step 2. Check some forum or protondb and discover that the ray tracing/DX12 is garbage and gets like 10 frames

    Step 3. Switch back to DX11, disable ray tracing

    Step 4. Play the game

      Best use of ray tracing I’ve seen is to make old games look good, like Quake II or Portal or Minecraft. Newer games are “I see the reflection in the puddle just under the car when I put them side by side” and I just can’t bring myself to care.

      If I know a game I’m about to play runs on Unreal Engine, I’m passing a -dx11 flag immediately. It removes a lot of useless Unreal features like Nanite
