Ray tracing looks possibly doable at 1080p but forget it at higher resolutions. Maybe for your favorite RPG though. I saw a video and it does make some objects look very realistic, like glass and the reflections, some lighting, shadows etc. I guess it needs more power yet...

Ya it looks like performance takes a big hit when Ray tracing is turned on, according to the article.

Not to mention the game has to support it.

Good link @CountMike, thanks for that

Posted ....read it again...lol

I don`t want the software, just wish you`d post the link when you post new software updates.

If you already have it....it updates itself.....I do most of the time, takes about 3 sec's to lookup thou.

BFV is the only game for ray tracing support. You have to lower video settings to make it even playable. That to me is a gimmick.

I thought there were a few more than just BFV? I saw this a little while back: Nvidia: These 11 Titles First to Support RTX Ray Tracing

Did no one notice it in Shadow of the tomb Raider?
