seeing much of a difference.

I tend to agree, yes there is a difference but I don't look at it and think wow that will make a real difference to my gaming experience. As I've said a few times before I'm in the camp that graphics have to be good enough and that's about it and for good enough think of Crysis:Warhead as an example.
The same goes with the likes of ray tracing, I've seen a few side-by-side demonstrations of it and the only way I could reliably tell the difference is when it's pointed out what to look for! Indeed I saw an 'experiment' with people having to say which one had ray tracing on and the only person who did better than flipping a coin was the person who knew what to look for.
The other part for me is that I've kinda lost interest in the type of games that require a good graphics card. Off the top of my head I can only think of Stalker 2 that I want to play. For now I'll stick with my little old 1050 OC which at £150 was less half the price of my previous 560.
