Hitman's well above 30fps for the majority of gameplay though, and IOI have stated that performance improvements are coming.

Ports early in a system's life not having ideal performance is pretty common.

Sure.  My 4090 can't do high RT without massive fps hits... but the S2 can!  Dude, be reasonable.  RT is EASILY  the biggest fps killer when it comes to graphics.  High RT with spider 1, which is a ps4 game, drops my 4090 to below 60 fps.  I really don't think you understand how much RT kills performance.

The RT that's stressing your 4090 will be a lot more demanding than the RT we see on current consoles though.

Agreed but when I said console and the S2 are doing soft RT I was challenged on that.  And even on low RT the 4090 takes a hit.  The S2 will take a hit with any meaningful RT, zero debate on this one.  

S2 ray tracing will be basic compared to a PC, absolutely, don't get me wrong.

It can be still be an improvement over 8th gen at the same time though.

This is one of those things where we're gonna have to wait a while and see what developers do with it; thus far we have precious few examples of Switch 2 games period, much less ones pushing specific kinds of rendering.

It would be interesting to see Nintendo have a crack at RT in a first party exclusive for instance, but given they tend to shy away from pushing fancy tech I'm not holding my breath.
