Are these “all Internet forums” in the room with us now?
I don't think the average consumer would even know. They don't have specific expectations of performance and wouldn't know if their card was or wasn't underperforming, nor what the reasons are. You'd need a marketing campaign to inform though, so, say, Intel or AMD coming out the gates with a real push for RAM and driving that as a USP with lots of flashy charts and lifestyle images.
My understading is that consoles are fine if you only do 1 raytracing effect ingame, the problems comes when you try to do 2 or more effects at the same time on the consoles.
Indy looks 2 gens ahead of Doom Eternal. DE doesn't even have proper PBR materials let alone the complicated aspects of Ray-traced lighting. In Indy, the PT mode is computing ray-tracing for the primary and secondary lighting aspects.
Agreed. Basically take the entire pipeline and run it through a full path-traced mode without deviating into screen-space rasterization routes.

Doom Eternal had that exact problem as well. IDTech quirks..There is still a known issue that the developers pointed out to the community. Sometimes, when starting the game with DLSS enabled, the game will run slower than intended. When this happens, until a final fix is released, you should switch from DLSS to TAA and then back to resolve the problem.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Update Enables Path Tracing on NVIDIA RTX GPUs; AMD FSR to Be Added Later
MachineGames has released the first update for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, enabling path tracing for NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards
there is more info in the official thread of the game with extra links and details and stuff, but here is a solution that seems to work.It looks like a 2060 is no longer be able to run the game smoothly in the Vatican city.

I tried it in 2060 6gb. It does not run after Vatican.app.bsky.cz
So suddenly, all these 6 GB GPUs like 3060 laptops, 2060, 3050 laptops become obsolete as they are not even able to keep up with the Series S, which just has a total of 8 GB available to games.
Great job, just great job to Nvidia for stinging and the developers for not exposing these console settings to their PC ports. @Dictator like you have said, the absence of said console settings are a huge problem.
each time I see that screengrab comparison it always gets me. The floor looks like real life, and some other details, I am outta words to say it.
Really? I think if anything the term PT has lost most of its meaning over the past year as well. There's very little similarity between what a classic offline path tracer does and - say - what Alan Wake or Wukong or now potentially Indy are doing. To be clear, I don't think gate-keeping the term path tracing is necessary, but if you've got versions of something called "full path tracing" that are mixed with primary raster, baked lighting, various screen space effects and now shadow maps as well, I think I'm going to have to get someone else to describe to me what it means beyond a marketing term at this point.
You certainly don't need any fancy light sampling algorithm for ray traced local lights; we've done those since the start of HWRT. Particularly in Indy which doesn't look to be super heavy local light sources from the shots I've seen, I can't think of a good reason why you wouldn't also use RT shadows for the local lights to be honest. Indeed RT shadows are generally a larger win for local lights than directional lights (although in this case obviously the directional light shadow maps are very poor, so good to have an alternative).
Would be more fair to call 'PT' in this case as 'pleb trasher' settings.
