Okay so ill take 5 min to write what i think every pragmatic person would say:
Evidence points out to not a great performance in games taking advantage of ray-tracing. For two reasons; one is that everything you've seen up till now was rushed through for gamescom, they are not built from the ground up for it (cyberpunk is rasterized as well for now at least). Second is even with the 2080ti power Tomb Raider for example was running 40fps 1080p (granted not optimized), the technology is in its infancy and the first gen rtx is obv not gonna perform as gpus could later.
That being said i believe you could build a case to see it in cyberpunk in some way :
1) relationship between CDPR and nvidia: when the witcher 3 got released it had all the nvidia bells and whitles. Not a lot of games in this generation shipped supporting hairworks, in fact just a handful. So i think you could believe them continuing this relationship, cyberpunk is gonna be one of the last big games of this gen of consoles and, one of the first of the next, and it'll do very very well on pc. nvidia needs games to showcase this technology.
2) building a game for the future: even if the technology is not up to par when the game is released, cdpr can implement it so cyberpunk stands the test of time. A bit like the Crysis IP who were really taxing on hardware on max settings but still look good years after. If ray tracing really is the future the industry be it nvidia, amd or intel (2020 onwards) will be producing gpus with ray tracing capabilities. The tech is gonna come down to the masses being more affordable and the majority will be able to enable it.
3) you can implement ray tracing in many ways. Tomb Raider has raytraced shadows, Battlefield V chose to go another route.
So there is a lot of things that are possible.
That being said, the rtx suite is not only raytracing. There's also the new DLSS antialiasing (ty
@sv3672 ). Maybe other things i dont remember. And do not forget that raytracing although nvidia is pushing for it, the markets decide ultimately. Many new technologies didnt stand the test of time. Maybe this is too early for ppl to accept it. Maybe also it would take cdpr too much work to make their game fully ready for it and prefer to invest their resources towards a more efficient direction.
Lol it took me longer than 5 mins but i hope it was worth it.
edit: i agree with the other posts before i just wanted to include all that came to mind and articulate it the best i could.
