It is a typical midrange configuration for a gaming machine nowadays. This is naturally expected, especially when compared to other games using many ray tracing effects at once. For instance, for game scenarios with ray traced shadows and ray traced ambient occlusion only, an NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super could be an acceptable solution.
