And how small is the niche for RTX? It would be insane to adapt the game engine to accommodate less than 1% of the market.
“Between December 2018 and January 2019, the RTX 2070 jumped about .16 percent in usage, bringing the total reported number of systems with that GPU to .33 percent. The RTX 2070 is the most popular out of the three RTX cards; the 2080's usage was reported at .31 percent, and the 2080 Ti at just .15 percent.”

4k only requires user to toggle their resolution. it doesn’t require a change to thegame that hasn’t already been made.
Before anyone says it doesn’t make a difference, I guarantee you on a good 50” display it does. And a larger screen makes everything more cinematic and clear. I’ve been playing Crusader Kings iii on a 49” @4k and the text and smallest details on characters faces are crystal clear. It doesn’t just look better, it is functionally better. The game plays better at 4K because I can be zoomed out and, for exampleThat wouldn’t be possible otherwise.
Total War would similarly benefit from 4K because of the many, many small units on a large scale map.
In Bannerlord, the difference 4K @ 60 makes is being able to see each blade of grass an arrows flying. Each troop from a far distance would be clear.
I think the goal for Bannerlord be 60fps @4k before they add or remake the game engine they haven’t finished. Let’s see that 4K usage rise to 10% before they even consider RTX. Let’s wait for more than 5% of gamers to have a PC capable of ray tracing.
