RTX memes are a form of resolution comparison memes, which put side by side an image and an enhanced version of it. RTX is s reference to ray tracing technology which is supposed to make video game graphics sharper.

Variations of this meme often juxtapose an animated image with a real-life photograph to make the joke that RXT is so high-quality that it renders images impossibly lifelike.
