On the GPU but PhysC is basically dead so it doesn't matter

It was a huge gaming gimmick. You had to buy more expensive Nvidia GPUs just to see some sparks fly differently in Borderlands or Snow on Batman's cape.

3600X and RTX 2070 with too many storage drives to count.

It may not be the case, but I think the same of ray tracing. It's not as much a gimmick but I'm still in the I want more resolution/framerate idc about gimmicks camp.

I think ray tracing might be legit... 3 years from now. Right now it's so new and I've not seen a game implement it well enough to justify the RTX.

 

And I think right now is a bad time to buy RTX for ray tracing because by the time games really start to use it, 2 more generations of RTX will be out and current RTX cards will be obsolete. So I think right now ray tracing is very gimmicky, yes

Also, it's not really an RTX exclusive feature... The SEUS PTGI shaders for Minecraft do raytracing on AMD cards just fine right now. Can even do raytracing on an RX 580 if you lower the settings a little and are content with 30FPS at 1080p.
