Curious as to how good the brand new RTX raytracing is in World of Warcraft Shadowlands?
In this video I’ll do side by side comparisons throughout each of the new zones in Shadowlands to try and give you all a better understanding of RTX in World of Warcraft. Ray Tracing effects the shadows in World of Warcraft by allowing them to be rendered from multiple directional light sources.
If there is anything else you’d like to see just let me know in the comments below!

Arthas died trying to save us from this joke
3:50 with RTX on… and here with RTX on. Yeah, it looks exactly the same xD
Here's a TV that looks like an apple.
What a joke of a video, barely any change for a waste of performance, DOA.
This is pretty much what 'false advertising' looks like.
why y'all giving this men a dislike, he is not responsible for the rtx off and rtx on quality lmao
I really need the rtx 3090 for this :O
Let's be real here. There is no difference whatsoever. "The difference is quite extreme". That's a no.
RTX ON
FPS OFF
Blizz should focus their efforts on raid performances, fps when fighting bosses (even in old raids) is most of the time a fps killer. I play on at 3400×1440 120hz with a 2080TI and I get 50 fps in Antorus in a 10 man group…and we're in 2020. To me that says it all. Before implementing new fps sucking features they should improve what we already have.
Might ray tracing is not ready and we will see how really looks like when shadowlands came out
This is piss poor RTX implementation.
wow graphics suck the game is just for turdboiz who can’t afford real rigs
Lmao 😂
lol thats bad. i expected them to improve that a lot more in shadowlands :O
I just wanted to say – I've just logged in to the prepatch and the performance hit seems to be much much better. I'm now dropping around 8% when I enable RTX, much better than on the beta!
Shadows with RTX looks like low/medium-preset shadows.
Difficult to notice the difference when youtube encoding is shit.
lawl performance hit on beta? Anyone who has rtx is a beta tester. What a scam.
This is easily the worst implementation of RTX I have ever seen.
Could you do a comparison around the campfire in Warspear? It seems to be only spot where point lighting has been utilised, not sure why it doesn't show anywhere else.
This guy is paid by blizzard, or maybe he's joking.
This is one of the best comparision videos. Thank you for that.
I think value of the effect of raytraced shadows is entirely subjective though.
Is it worth it for the casual gamer? Hell no!
Is it worth it for the graphics connoisseur who enjoys the small details? I do think so.
Would love Blizzard to expand this feature to full global illumination. It'd really make WoW look great.
I have a 3080 I can get my monitors max refresh rate at 144 fps at 4k. If I enable RTX high I can only get 60 fps. Its a really bad hit to frames.
I don’t see a difference at all
the rtx off looks better
Human eye can only see difference in upper left corner.
I think that's easily the poorest choice of examples to showcase what RTX is meant to do, that I've ever seen… The first scene is even worse! I'm not sure you know exactly what RTX is meant to do?
The examples showed literally NOTHING of the things you would look for in raytracing… Like how your armor looks close up, illuminated by light sources and itself (glowing armor…). How your red-glowing daggers throw a glow onto the Wall you're running next to, how a fire throws your shadow onto the wall when running past and so on. I couldn't have chosen worse scenes if I tried. And just to make it COMPLETELY pointless: Zoom out the camera all the way….
