I have bought a radeon RX 6800 recently to avoid dealing with NVIDIA headaches (especially since i daily drive hyprland) and so far it has been going pretty good. But i heard that raytracing still performs way lower then on windows which would be very bothering since i really like raytracing in games. Can anyone enlighten me if this fact is still true or is the performance difference became negligable

I managed to get Quake II RTX to run at a barely playable framerate on my RX 6700 XT. I never bothered with anything else since it performed so poorly.

Quake II RTX is fully raytraced though. I’m not sure how well performance measurements done with it apply to other games that do a mix of raytracing and rasterizing.

Have you tried it with Mesa 24.1? Apparently some decent improvements were made earlier this month. Also, these ray-tracing benchmarks on Mesa 24.0 posted last month also seems pretty promising.
