Integrated RTX graphics?

[SimplyGameDev]

I was just thinking if it is possible for manufacturers to create an integrated graphics that supports ray-tracing...

Yes. It's just slow to the point of being unusable.

 

Here, current AMD iGPUs ("APUs") actually support ray tracing already: https://www.hwcooling.net/en/amd-unveils-ryzen-6000-6nm-zen-3-with-superfast-rdna-2-igpu/

 

iGPUs are of limited use for gaming because of their lack of performance. If you think about how much ray tracing tanks the performance of a dedicated card, imagine what it does to the already very limited performance of an iGPU.

Comparable car example would be trying to tow a camper uphill with a 1.6L 99 Honda Civic vs F150 twin turbo Ecoboost 3.5L v6 or tuned LQ9 small block Chevy truck motor.
