If you have a lot of addons that aren’t optimised or out of date, they will wreck your FPS with ray tracing enabled. If you have a character with long hair, you’ll see it.įor people saying that it’s tanking their framerate, obviously it can but I found out that it’s CPU intensive. It casts shadows on itself now whereas before it didn’t. If you want to be sure it’s working, look at your character model. Raytraced lighting casts more accurate shadows because it takes into account secondary light sources, reflected light etc. It isn’t like turning on SSAO and suddenly everything has mode depth and shadow.
