question about interaction between ray tracing options and general options.

[kin9834]

Hello. I have question.


Does the ray tracing option work by overwriting other options?


General shadow option, screen space reflection quality, ambient occlusion, general reflection quality. These options are related to light and shadow.


When ray tracing is turned on, how do each of these options work?

It's a different technique altogether. If using ray tracing, things like reflection quality or ambient occlusion will happen more or less as part of the ray tracing...but there might still be options (like reflection quality) which can be scaled up or down using ray tracing mode. Basically, if the options appear active (they're not greyed out) then yes, they will still affect the image quality and performance.

By how much all depends on your hardware and settings.
