To your claim that the numbers aren't "personal views" but the settings are. As I've said benchmarking and reviews are not "personal views".Yes, what is this even an answer to?
Once you start doing them going off your "personal views" on what should be benchmarked and what not the results loose any value very fast.
You can provide a limited number of results because you didn't have time to do more but then you don't have enough data to make blanket claims about things which you *didn't benchmark*.
They have a couple of "special" videos instead of providing the results in all videos and give viewers an option of thinking for themselves.They did have special videos focusing only on raytracing too, but do consider that their viewers aren't robots either, if they were convinced on what they saw of raytracing, either from HU or other sites, they are free to voice their own opinion that raytracing should have a bigger part in their future tests. Worst case for HU, they could even lose viewers.
Note that Metro Exodus which was present in their 2020 results is absent from 2021 suite. Gee I wonder why.
You can have RT on 2060S or better performance with it being off. You can't have RT on 5700XT.It would be interesting however if eg Sony or Microft could show us the numbers whether most of their userbase decide to play with raytracing on or turning it off for better performance.
You can have better performance through DLSS on 2060S or better IQ with it being off. You can't have that on 5700XT.
The point of a review / benchmark isn't to show how people prefer to play games. It is to provide information which will allow people to decide for themselves how they would like to play games. And this particular review doesn't provide such information.
HUB is trapped in their confirmation bias for some time now. They've made claims which they don't want to admit were wrong and this is the sole reason for such benchmarking.
