Warzone Should I enable DirectX Raytracing when I have Radeon GPU XFX RX 6700 XT SWFT 309?

Or is it only for RTX card?

Thank you!

"Like the rest of the RX 6000-series, the RX 6700 XT supports hardware-level ray tracing. At 1440p and 1080p, it can deliver playable frame rates on many games that offer ray tracing, but since many of those titles also support Nvidia's DLSS, the 6700 XT feels handicapped in comparison."

Based on what IGN have said, yes can use it, but it looks like using it would come at a heavy performance penalty and you might see you frame rates plummet. This is something that will be worse for you on nVidia titles like Call of Duty as these have been optimised for RTX cards. nVidia have a history of adding code to games that make non-nVidia GPUs produce lower frame rates,

Ray Tracing works better on games where the coding is DX12 based and not tied to RTX Tensor cores.

I'm using an RTX 2070 and prefer to keep RTX off so I can enjoy the higher frame rates.

So i should just leave it disabled to have best performance?

Yes, leave it disabled for best performance.

Yes, I agree with this, but I also recommend experimenting with running the game in Ray Tracing mode, just to experience it over a few different maps and then turning it off, you have that feature, so you should try it out at least, right?
