Linus did a video where he has people play a few games and see if they could tell the difference between which games has Ray Tracing and which games don't.
The conclusion is, the technical people were able to tell but the more casual ones weren't. Of course the problem with the entire comparison is that he mainly used games that has very light uses of Ray Tracing instead of something modern like Cyberpunk. He did use Minecraft RTX as well but he also left it at a base map instead of creating something that could showcase Ray Tracing.
So while the video could have been interesting, I think that was poor execution.
Also GN made a video where it shows off the price creep of GPUs at MSRP:
Gone are the good old days of $200 GPUs
