just look at the steam statisics
barley any users have a RTX cards and who knows how this game runs with an 2060 RTX ON? 1080 with 30FPS?
new consoles? i dont know if they can handle AAA games with RT well....
fabian döhla (CDPR PR-GUY) was in her stream https://www.twitch.tv/laraloft/ and he said no linux version, because not profitable
i wonder how this can be, when feral makes money with less popular games

Is an Nvidia sponsorship probably. They did the same with physx in the past.

i think physx didnt mess up your FPS after all. RTX ON = half FPS. i am not sure if its worth for AAA games.
maybe it changes with the new gpu generation, but even then not everyone will buy these expensive cards
anyways. i dont think ray tracing is a selling point for today, or near future

It's like "hey, it's a cyberpunk game created with corrupt corpo behind it pushing their lock-in". How ironic.

I expressed myself badly. What I meant was that it is yet again the Nvidia strategy of pushing their proprietary APIs in order to justify their selling "feature" of the RTX GPUs. As you said, even the majority of Nvidia market will not be able to run the game with RT enable (at least if at high settings or with good FPS) but when the time to buy a new GPUs comes many will end up choosing Nvidia because "it allows me to play that little bunch of game with their proprietary API", even if they have to pay slightly more for it.

Yeah, but it came one year later than DXR. In fact, I think that the only game that implements RT with Vulkan is Quake II.

3D rendering can also be implemented on your CPU. That doesn't mean it's efficient.
