The new saying in 2021 will be … ‘but can it run Cyberpunk 2077’. It’s disappointing news for AMD owners, but I’m sure the guys at both CD Projekt Red and AMD are working on it.
Taken from PCGamer … Cyberpunk 2077 got some updated system requirements recently, and under the RT section listed only Nvidia RTX cards. But we know that it’s using Microsoft’s DirectX Raytracing API, so it should be able to support raytracing for any of the lucky people who managed to snag themselves, say, an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, right? Well, no, as it turns out.
Not for the release but we are working together with AMD to introduce this feature as soon as we can.

Responding to a question on Twitter, CD Projekt Red’s global community lead Marcin Momot said that raytracing on AMD cards would not feature at release, “but we are working together with AMD to introduce this feature as soon as we can.”
