The Troll demo is very impressive, even more so when you consider it's running on a single 2080Ti. Cudos to NVIDIA for pushing DXR to the forefront.

I enjoy playing Killing Floor 2 from time to time. Maybe if it gets DXR support, I might consider getting RTX card. Not sure if devs will bother to upgrade from version 3 to 4.

Terrible FPS, coming to a game engine near you soon.

Tried the Tomb Raider update yesterday, without using DLSS I got pretty much 50% drop in frame rates.

It's like a fusion of beautiful and mundane.

Ironically, not different from the narrative of the setting.
