So now we're being forced to have poorer performance and locked into buying more expensive hardware.

I'll have to pass on this type of crap and vote with my wallet when ray tracing still isn't there for the majority of pc gamers.

It's to make development easier.

With ray-tracing it becomes much easier to light environments in game. You don't have to have devs adding artificial light sources or painting environments as of they're lit.

unfortunately most developers can't make a game with raytraced lighting
