I don't have time to watch this video right now, but as someone who's uses an Intel Arc A770 for two years, there are certain aspects which are no end of trouble.

Namely anything that has to do with raytracing, and especially Unreal Engine 5 for some reason.

Raytracing has never been worth the performance penalty imo.

It creates beautiful videos in satisfactory and other slow games. If AI never happened i bet cards would have been cheap enough for most games to afford ray tracing by default but alas

Regardless of cost, not even the mightiest gpu can play a 1440p game with path tracing for example at high refresh rates, without dlss. So no, the cost isn't the only issue.

This is a minor cosmetic feature used to entice fools to depart with their money.

In a very limited list of games on a very few expensive GPU it is worth. 90% of time on 90% of the hardware it is not worth indeed.
