To be fair I think a lot of it could be replicated with traditional AO effects. The advantage with RT (and the entire point behind Jen's "It just works" is that simply turning DXR/RTX on should give you a fairly realistic result without having to tweak objects, move lights around, fix weird z-culling issues, create all those other edge-case scenario effects in engine, etc.
Now those pictures are wow.

Metro series is there for only one thing... To make you buy top GPUs, and make some companies more happy. Thats all. How fast you all forgot 1st metro release? I am out of here... Tired of this.

980Ti is performing surprisingly modestly in my opinion. It's trading blows with 590.
It's kind of strange the RTX is supposed to be an entirely separate section of the GPU die, meaning in RTX OFF, all those transistors will do absolutely nothing. Yet when you turn RTX ON, it still has a major impact on fps. Honestly, that sounds more like a software implementation, not hardware. If it's dedicated hardware, shouldn't it only have like a 5% max impact? Right now the huge fps drop must mean that the rest of the GPU is actually waiting for the RTX to finish its work, every frame, dropping the overall framerate insufferably. That's just stupid. The RTX should only do as much work as it can in the time granted by the traditional part of the GPU (plus any v-sync option possibly granting extra time).

Well, let me know when it reaches a Price tag of 5,99 and is available on Steam!
On the other Hand, RTX ON/OFF is not worth the Trouble with nvidia! Maybe you have time to admire that small "eye candy" in a rpg or a strategy game. In a 3D shooter you need to stay sharp on where the bullet is comming from instead of stearing at the water or the floor to see a reflexion more shiny or not!

I think the locations Hilbert chose were more nuanced. Seems to make a bigger difference indoors.
Now those pictures are wow.
