Real-time ray tracing is incredibly demanding. The latest graphics cards have dedicated hardware that’s optimized 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).

Looking at pure ray tracing-only performance – with no rasterisation – sees the RTX 3060 Ti outpace even AMD's RX 6800 XT, which is impressive. The Ampere GPU is also 23% faster than the RTX 2080 Super here, and a whopping 77% faster than the RTX 2060 Super.
