Why is ray tracing so hard?

Ray tracing requires more processing power, and therefore decreases FPS. There are some notions that ray tracing improves image quality, but that's not completely true. I've seen some games that actually look worse with ray tracing turned on.

Does ray tracing hurt gpu?
Does ray tracing hurt performance? Ray tracing has a huge impact on performance, as it requires more processing power from your system. You'll definitely see those frame rates plummet, which is a real bummer. This will happen even with the most powerful GPUs.

Can a 3080 ti run ray tracing?
Ray tracing performance
The RTX 3080 Ti comes with dedicated ray tracing cores, while the RX 6900 XT packs a “ray accelerator” into each compute unit. The result is much lower ray tracing performance on AMD's RX 6000 graphics cards.
