Do you honestly believe consoles will be able to run fully path tracing games next gen?
Its crazy demanding on the GPU.
Here is a overclocked 5080 on a tuned PC:

First area they show in Cyberpunk 2077, it goes from 115 fps down to 41 fps.
In Alan Wake 2, its the shadows only? and there the fps tanked from 90+ fps down to 58 fps.... just to have sharper looking shadows with path tracing.
In Indy it goes from 155fps down to 75fps, and the differences arn't as massive as in say Cyberpunk2077.
Again this is with a geforce 5080 that's overclocked.
even next gen, I doubt consoles get close that performance.
We don't want 1100$+ consoles do we ? just so we can path trace games?
