But why? Why would people not want RTX features? I can understand for the low to mid end (like the 1660) but if you are going to even spend 600 on a card wouldn't you want that capability?
I've been playing Metro Exodus and I love the benefits it brings to lighting. BFV reflections are pretty good too (and performance is decent with the latest patch).
What you suggest is like buying a fancy high end car but with no options/crank windows.
For some people, high FPS at high resolution is king.
I almost always turn shadows down to medium because the performance hit is not worth it. Until the FPS cost of ray tracing is negligible I don't think I will turn it on while playing a game.
