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.

Given Nintendo's art style in most games, I'm expecting Nintendo will use NS2's RT capabilities (as low as they are) quite successfully for some visuals aspects - they are not mad to go full RT and I think, just like Sony did with Ratchet and Clank, they will leverage tried and true "old" techniques with some RT sprinkled in where it matters the most.

Agreed, which is where I think the RT benefits will be small.  RT is super exciting, I just think we are a good generation out before we really see the massive impact it has.  Kind of reminds of the OG xbox when it had a few HD games at 720p.  We could all see the huge jump it offered, but took a generation before HD really become the norm.
