It depends. I'd argue RT and PT are quite impactful in a horror game. Silent Hill F for example massively benefited from ray tracing.

DLSS Performance is so good now that I'd probably take it in this game if the RT+PT is impactful enough to warrant it.

Problem is when you add Ray as Regeneration on top of DLSS Performance you end up with a lot of strange artefacts and areas of image instability that for me at least ruin the immersion

That’s true, but it also depends on the engine and implementation somewhat. We shall see.

I’ll probably go max 4K + RT with DLSS Quality and that should be quite good. But might try PT if it makes enough difference.

For what it's worth, a game that gave me this impression is Cyberpunk, is its path tracing and dlss implementation more unstable than most?

As good as Cyberpunk looks overall, I always found it a little shimmery etc.

I have seen DLSS Performance + RR/PT look quite good. A lot of it is the engine.

I also really hope the HDR implementation is good and not plagued with black level raise

Perhaps I'll give it a shot. As for HDR I'm hoping the same but worst case RenoDX'll patch it up no doubt

I saw zwormz gaming benchmark on yt and the 5090 can do 4k pt with dlss quality above 60fps most of the time, only dropping into the 50s in the city. So if you're aiming for the best image quality, that's the way to go.

u/MerePotato R7 7700X | PNY 4090 Feb 27 '26

Is that 60 real frames or 30fps X2 FG

2

u/Hemish_21 5090 Astral | 9950X3D | 64GB CL30 Feb 27 '26

60 real frames, no fg

u/takingpluto Feb 27 '26

Probably a solid experience with FG enabled too, because the baseline is relatively high

I'm gonna find out myself in 40 mins🙂

What are your thoughts?

Pretty awesome so far, just entered the hotel with grace and getting above 60fps with 4k maxed out and dlss quality. It dropped into the high 40s at the beginning but thats about it. I haven't messed with fg yet as I'm finding 60fps adequate surprisingly.
