Due to the lack of a RTX card on my desktop I installed the update on the Series X and, again, ray tracing just does nothing for me. You have to look very hard to spot the differences.

Yeah, the advantage of RTX in modern games is that it will take a lot less work to make it look nice, not that it will make it look a lot better.

That's not even remotely true - though to be fair, it depends on the implementation and which RT features are used. For example, a game with just RT shadows looks nicer, but won't be as noticeable as say, CP2077, which is a night and day difference due to also including RT reflections, global illumination, ambient occlusion, etc.

Read the comments, most people below agree with me.
