Is RTX 3090 Worth It?
Officially, the RTX 3090 costs $800 more than the RTX 3080; nearly $300 more than the RTX 3080 Ti (which is also more available thanks to a reduced mining hashrate); and $500 more than the AMD RX 6900 XT.

Does RTX 2060 Have Ray Tracing?
RTX 2060 has ray tracing. It’s hardware-accelerated ray tracing (vs. software-based ray tracing you’d find in cards such as the AMD RX 5700 XT). It beats its competitors right out of the water with the only trade-off being a higher power consumption.
Does AMD RX 5700 XT Have Ray Tracing?
AMD RX 5700 XT doesn’t have hardware-accelerated ray tracing. It has software-based ray tracing. Both are two very different things and depending on your usage, AMD RX 5700 XT’s ray tracing might do the job for you or might be completely worthless.

VSync: What is it? When do you Need It?
