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

Of course, being an RTX GPU, we also have ray tracing to cover.

Starting with Control, this game is very heavy with its RT effects, and we can see a 41% performance hit when enabling that extra eye candy. The 3060 Ti is still ahead of the 2080 Super however, by 9%, and it’s actually only a single frame slower than AMD’s RX 6800 XT, which clearly shows how much further ahead Nvidia GPUs are.
