So now we're being forced to have poorer performance and locked into buying more expensive hardware.

I'll have to pass on this type of crap and vote with my wallet when ray tracing still isn't there for the majority of pc gamers.

It's cute you think a 4060 can handle ray tracing.

It's cute that you think that was a good counter argument

You know what, you're right:

https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/intel-arc-b580-battlemage-gpu-review-benchmarks-vs-nvidia-rtx-4060-amd-rx-7600-more

Let's take a look at the number for the vaulted 4060.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 - 1080p - 54.3 average with 44.4 at 1% lows

Dragon’s Dogma 2 - 1440p - 39.5 average with 32.5 at 1% lows

CyberPunk 2027 - 1080p Medium - 38.9 with 24.4 at 1% lows

and https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Indiana-Jones-und-der-Grosse-Kreis-Spiel-74506/Specials/Pathtracing-vs-Raytracing-Benchmarks-Test-Release-1461366/

Let's take a look at the 4060 with the mandatory ray tracing game Indian Jones.

Indian Jones and the Great Circle 1080p - 25.2 average with 18 at 1% lows.

Yeah, the 4060 is going to provide such a great ray tracing experience to the average gamer....

Edit: Because I can't be bothered with a proper reply, It's amazing that pointing out a 2060 running on low is being used as a justification that ray tracing is ready for prime time.

did you read the testing setups? dragon's dogma 2 is running at maxed out settings on the raytracing profile. Expecting a 4060 to run at max settings is ridiculous. If you drop it to medium you should easily be able to hit decent framerates.
