given how well this game is already optimised, I forsee some outstanding reflections. However we still need to remember that this is Wow level graphics, so dont expect much realism in the slightest.

Might be the first game using RT that can actually do more than 60fps consistently

Well, unless you’re in a raid or an area with more than 50 people.

I don't expect blizz will be using it for a "realism" thing, more of a gob-smacking beautification enhancement.

WoW's art style isn't meant to look realistic - just beautiful in it's own right.

It is the easiest way to massively update game graphics.

This is "ray tracing" with reshade. The proper one should look even better.
