tl;dr big performance improvement in ray tracing on AMD cards coming, with the dev claiming a 3x performance boost in Hitman 3.

Hopefully for Steam Deck too

It probably will, but I doubt you can do any serious raytracing workloads on the Deck without sacrificing performance and battery life.

You'd expect so, but I wouldn't expect miracles. It will vary game by game as well, as only certain types of RT implementations will benefit from this boost.
