Hi Pickle!
Of course real-time ray-tracing has always been possible - however, it just depends on how complex you want your scene - or what type of 'effects' (refraction/reflection/sub-surface scattering...).

Lots of factors that can impact using ray tracing for games - however, in recent years, with advancements in hardware - ray-tracing has come out of the shadows! What might take days or hours is not coming to real-time (30+ fps)
