Here we revisit Control, this time testing with the in-game ray tracing effects set to their highest values.

Looking at Control, cranking the RT settings to High in this game reduces frame rates to just over 30FPS at 4K. However, it is the margins we are interested in, and these don't change here, as the RTX 3090 Eagle is still 13% faster than the RTX 3080 Founders Edition. I had wondered if the 3090's extra RT cores would give it a bigger boost, relatively speaking, but that is not the case for Control.
