Real-time ray tracing is incredibly demanding. The latest graphics cards have dedicated hardware that’s optimised for ray-tracing. The 3DMark DirectX Raytracing feature test measures the performance of this dedicated hardware. Instead of using traditional rendering techniques, the whole scene is ray-traced and drawn in one pass. The result of the test depends entirely on ray-tracing performance. (UL).
Ray tracing performance in the DXR feature test is very punishing, but the RX 7600 shows a significant 54% uplift versus the RX 6600, indicating a hefty increase in ray tracing performance.
