Latest News on Games Launching with NVIDIA DLSS and Advanced Ray Tracing
Every week, we bring you the latest news on games launching with NVIDIA DLSS and advanced ray tracing. Last week, Sackboy: A Big Adventure used DLSS 3 to multiply performance, and this week we're celebrating the launch of the technology preview of Cyberpunk 2077's Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode. High On Life and Like a Dragon: Ishin! have recently added DLSS 2 support, and there are even more games on the horizon with support for RTX technologies. Read on for all the details.
The Gaming Revolution with GeForce RTX Graphics Cards
In 2018, we launched the 1st generation GeForce RTX graphics cards, which began a gaming revolution. Since the release of the very first games decades ago, lighting had been faked, and various hacks employed to approximate shadows, reflections, and other real-world properties. GeForce RTX made real-time ray tracing a reality, enabling developers to realistically render reflections and lighting, making their games more immersive and enjoyable. And with DLSS 1.0, we invented a game-changing way for players to accelerate frame rates. Now, we're at the 3rd generation of RTX with the release of GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards. DLSS 3 multiplies performance with AI-accelerated Frame Generation in 30 games, DLSS 2 accelerates frame rates in over 280 games and apps, and NVIDIA Reflex reduces system latency for a more responsive and enjoyable experience in over 70 games. New technologies such as Shader Execution Reordering (SER), Opacity Micromaps (OMM), NVIDIA RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI), and RTX Global Illumination (RTXGI) enable developers to create incredible ray-traced effects with performant frame rates and far less effort.
Among gamers, the massive strides RTX has made are well known, and the latest integrations are used by the majority of RTX owners. Of the millions of GeForce RTX desktop GPU owners, 83% of 40 Series gamers enabled ray tracing, and 79% of 40 Series gamers accelerated performance with DLSS in RTX capable games. The popularity and adoption of ray tracing and DLSS has outpaced other advancements and technologies, such as 4K and 144 Hz+ high refresh rate gaming monitors.
