Diablo fans are in a heated debate over ray-tracing performance on the AMD 6700XT compared to other GPUs. Reddit user Aker_svk sparked the discussion with a comparison of 140fps on the AMD 6700XT versus around 10fps on alternate GPUs. The thread quickly gained traction.

Summary

  • AMD 6700XT struggles with ray tracing due to the lack of RT cores.
  • Nvidia cards, like the RTX 4070, offer better performance in ray tracing.
  • Issues like flickering lighting have been reported with the RTX series.

A Struggle for AMD Cards

One user pointed out that AMD cards lack RT cores, causing them to have difficulties with ray tracing. This limitation means that even lower-end Nvidia cards can outperform AMD’s offerings in this area.

Nvidia’s Performance

On the other hand, Nvidia cards like the RTX 4070 exhibit good performance in ray tracing. However, some users have reported problems like flickering lighting, raising concerns about the overall experience.

Community Preference

Many users seem to lean towards Nvidia cards for ray tracing due to their better performance and smoother experience. Some have even switched from AMD to Nvidia to enjoy enhanced visuals and smoother gameplay.

The debate continues as fans weigh the pros and cons of different GPU options for the best Diablo 4 experience.
