Probably due to it being older source and limited multi threading use, but man anytime there was a lot of fire, input latency went so high even with 2x FG at 1440p with a 5080. Nearly 100ms, made it feel like a rubber band.

It was probably ray tracing through transparent geometry. This is a known performance-sink for ray tracing.

Yeah, not a bad start though. I was expecting worse.

Also kinda handy if you have an AMD GPU, There is a Portal RTX AMD mod that works with this...

Kinda hope they come back and make one specifically for HL2 RTX (there are quirks). As having access to FSR 3.x makes a massive difference vs the craptacular upscaling nVidia includes for non-DLSS upscaling.
