With the announcements from Nvidia’s most recent conference, featuring the RTX 3080 graphics card, even more games have been shown off harnessing the power of Nvidia’s implementation of real time Ray Tracing (RTX) and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). For those unfamiliar with these increasingly popular buzzwords, ray tracing refers to the technology to render light, shadows, and reflections in more vibrant and realistic ways – much like you would see in movie CGI – that’s fast becoming available for more and more games as next gen approaches. DLSS refers to an aspect of GPU technology that harnesses machine learning artificial intelligence (AI) to increase frame rates in highly demanding graphical situations – and more importantly, without sacrificing the graphical output, instead of having to choose between better quality or better frame rate.
In short, ray tracing-enabled graphics cards from Nvidia (and eventually from AMD as well) are slowly building up a library of games to take advantage of these new features, with even more coming thanks to the capabilities of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles. In the meantime, we’ve got a list of every known PC game that currently supports RTX and DLSS, and which games that will support it on release, or plan to release an update to support these features.
