I used this example bro and there will be otehr examples. Sometimes graphics aren't just here to look pretty but also to be part of the gameplay. For example this game requires RTX cards only because the whole concept of the game is based on offscreen indirect shadows and reflections thus requring RTX. Read my posts here:

RT focuses on displaying indirect shadows and refelctions of things not displayed on screen. Imagine a stealth game like MGS where the core mechanic of the game is that you spot enemies that are hiding behind obstacles by only seeing their offscreen reflectiosn or shadows and vice versa they can detect you that way so you have to avoid exposing your shadows and reflections to them, this implying the ray-traced AI too and also ray-traced sounds that bounce everywhere.
You can not shape such gameplays based on low specced hardwares or missing the hardware parts to allow it.
That is what I meany by such hardwares, new horizons of gameplay are opened and not just eye candy results that you can turn off.
