Stop Doing Raytracing

STOP DOING RAYTRACING • LIGHT RAYS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SIMULATED • YEARS OF GAMING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for bouncing light more than ONCE • Wanted to go higher anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “BAKED LIGHTING” • “Yes please give me SLIGHTLY better visuals. Give me those slightly better visuals at a cost of HALF my frame rate” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what Big Graphics Card have been demanding your money for all this time, with all the decades worth of beautiful non-RT games in your backlog. (This is REAL Raytracing, done by REAL $1600 graphics cards) RTX OFF RTX ON RTX OFF RTX ON RTX OFF RTX ON ???? ?????? ?????????? “Hello I would like to run my games poorly please” They have played us for absolute fools

The meme criticizes modern real-time ray tracing in video games by comparing expensive RTX graphics cards with older baked lighting techniques. The joke is that ray tracing provides only slightly better visuals while dramatically reducing frame rates and costing around $1600. It is shared as a sarcastic reaction to graphics-card marketing and the pressure to enable demanding visual features.
