I don't get much time to play games anymore but I'm very interested to see this in action.

Oh, now that is an interesting development! I wonder what the performance hit will be like on a popular card like the 1060.

There are a few ray tracing software demos on this page, which may be fun to try:

I'm only rocking a 960, so can't test it myself .

I can see a big difference in the Battlefield and Metro demos but I can hardly see any difference in the Tomb Raider one. In fact Tomb Raider looks better with the RTX OFF to me. Darn good upgrade overall.
