007 First Light's path tracing update is here, and unsurprisingly, the update massively improves the game's shadows, ambient occlusion, reflections, and other lighting properties at a massive cost to performance. MxBenchmarkPC on YouTube provided a side-by-side comparison showing how the game looks and runs on an RTX 5080 with path tracing on and off. On average, the RTX 5080 lost 62% of its performance turning on path tracing at 4K upscaled using DLSS 4 balanced upscaling.
