Am I the only one that doesn't really give a shit about ray tracing? For mediocre gains, you get a punch in the face on performance. I'll take 144Hz on a game over ray tracing any day.

if I can get a solid 60fps with ray-traced reflections, I'll take that over 144. Reflections and shadows do a lot for me

Same. It depends on the game though, obviously. If I'm playing Deadlock or something similar (fast paced and competitive) I'm not going to go for graphics fidelity. But anything single player? 60 FPS is perfectly fine and ray traced lighting can make a huge visual impact. Both Alan Wake 2 and Cyberpunk looked great with RT and well worth forgoing 100+ FPS.
