Of course, it hasn't been reviewed before, because it was not a challenge for even an IGP. Useless for GPU benchmarking.Standard or not, beta game reviews are exception to the norm and RTX is the only reason Minecraft beta got to reviews. The game has gone through many other big updates and changes in beta builds before too, none of which have been reviewed.
However, Minecraft RTX changed everything as the first fully path traced game that was not a demo developed by Nvidia (ie Quake RTX). Being so popular and technically advanced, it's the perfect case to measure RT performance across different GPUs
