Can ray traced effects be seen? uhh yeah dude, some of them are more subtle, like global illumination in Metro Exodus EE, it's so natural that it might be hard to notice, but it's extremely realistic which plays into why some clearly wouldn't 'notice'. Control's suite of RT effects are also excellent, more prominent being reflections but the indirect diffused lighting and contact shadows are also top notch. DOOM Eternals reflections are also very obvious in certain levels, but admittedly not in some others due to material types (like a hell level vs a man made structure level). Just a few examples from the small set of RT games I've played.Can it even bee seen?
If you, or the other chap I quoted, or the person(s) that like your post don't find the effects noticeable (if you/they even have an RT capable card and have tried for them/yourselves), I can't change what you notice or your visual preferences, and I don't intend to, but there are two sides to the coin. There is a group of us who are into it, who notice it, who enjoy the best of the best in graphical fidelity, and to my eyes the differences can range from natural and subtle realism, to prominent and transformative to the visual experience.
An obvious caveat would be the steeper hardware requirement, and sure, if you don't have high end hardware (or better yet if you want to play with RT, an RTX 2080TI or above) you might also not find the performance-to-visual trade-off worthwhile. For me @ 3440x1440 @144hz with an undervolted 3080, I have 0 performance issues in those games with everything maxed and DLSS quality (whole other kettle of fish if people are 'unwilling' to use it).
