Path tracing looks incredible, but it can kill PC performance, and I can't stop using it anyway

I’ve long been a cynic regarding cutting-edge PC tech. Though I was instantly convinced by 4K gaming, it took me years to accept High Dynamic Range content (mainly because HDR on Windows 11 often sucks). I was also resistant to ray tracing during its early incarnations. So it’s no surprise I have complicated feelings when it comes to path tracing.
