In this video, we break down the hardware, test mandatory and optional Ray Tracing across multiple modern titles, and address the misinformation surrounding the Steam Machine GPU
Games Tested:
Star Wars Outlaws (1440p, High Settings, FSR3 Balanced) – Testing mandatory Ray-Traced Global Illumination and Reflections.
Monster Hunter Wilds (Linux/Proton command line fix included) – Testing RT reflections and environmental immersion.
Cyberpunk 2077 – Full breakdown with Ray-Traced Reflections, Shadows, and Global Illumination in dense, heavy areas.
Let's look at the actual numbers, clear up the confusion, and wonder why so many people got this wrong.
