4080 and 13600k here.

Only turn on if i can left the important things on ultra and still get at least 4k60 fps.

The moment i have to bring down stuff like resolution or textures, rtx can fuck off.

Sometimes it's even hard to sacrifice 100+ frames to get rtx so it usually stay off most of times, my brain is wired in a way that give very little fucks about accurate lights and shadows and reflections, i'm more of a pristine iq\high raw details type of guy when it comes to graphic priorities.

I want frames, I don't care about perfect lighting.

I bought an RTX card so I could specifically take advantage of said RT cores. Whenever I can, I turn ray tracing on. If a game doesn't have it, it doesn't bother me though.

This right here. I don't worship at the altar of RTX, but I don't have a 4080 to not see the shiny silky when it's offered.

 

[Hohenheim]

Always on.

 

[Jakk]

5800X3D + 4070Ti, it depends on the game, but I mostly keep it on in some capacity for singleplayer games.

 

[Kenpachii]

Shooters off, everything else on.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Usually off since it's heavy on my 3080. I usually cap frames at 90 too since for me it's a sweet spot between performance and not having my PC sweat to much, especially in summer.

 

[Newari]

Trace all the rays.

 

[Lorianus]

Only reflections and GI, raytraced shadows looked horrible in every game i saw them thus far.

 

[Rockondevil]

So far my 4070 Ti has been fine and had no noticeable impact having it on.
I'm sure the day will come when that won't be the case and when that happens I'll just turn it off.

If a game can run at 1080p, High-Very high/Ultra settings, with ray tracing enabled, and maintain 60 FPS or higher, then I keep ray tracing ON. If not, I turn it OFF.
My PC has a 5700X3D and an RTX 4070 Ti Super, but I'm only using a 1080p 60Hz display (Sony KDL-50W805B), so it's probably easier to keep ray tracing on.

What are the specs of your rig? I'm still hesitating and allergic to melting plastic and silicon bs, heck, I wouldn't even mind building a reliable $10K rig.

5700X3D and RX6800 ... I generally buy 2nd hand parts

 

[Hyet]

3080 here
Leave it off unless it really adds to the game (Cyberpunk, Control) leave it off in all other cases since it's diminishing returns everywhere.

I usually turn it on along with DLSS.
I think I turned it off in Elden Ring cause it's only ray traced shadows and they absolutely tank the performance, even at the lowest setting. From didn't even add DLSS to the game to compensate the frame rate hit. So it's definitely not viable in every single game.

Games with path tracing or very heavy usage of ray tracing need frame gen too if I want to keep the frame rate at 90+
