I am well aware of what ray tracing is. Which is why I know RTX is not simply ray tracing and I can refer to it. I am specifically referring to RTX technology and not ray tracing in general. And heck throw DLSS in there too fucking love that shit. Is it wrong to be impressed with the game I have been playing for ten years because they not only gave us a graphics improvement but also a noticeable performance boost?

There is nothing specifically "RTX" about the reflections in GTAVE.

It still it is using RTX tech even if it isn't advertising it. Because RTX is the marketing term of the underlying technology for that ray tracing on Nvidia GPUs. So I am still right to be impressed by its performance. I probably didn't need to bring it up in my post and left it at the stuff titled RTX. RTX. (and I cannot speak to AMD or Intel GPU technologies, and I don't see anyone else either)
