NVIDIA is bringing new DLSS 3 tech alongside RTX 40-series GPUs, and a lot of games will be able to take benefit of this while enjoying the immense increase in performance.
With a GeForce RTX 4090 or GeForce RTX 4080 in your system, your games will run far faster, and you’ll have the power to experience richer, more immersive ray-traced experiences, such as NVIDIA Racer RTX, Cyberpunk 2077’s new Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode, and Portal with RTX
New Ray-Tracing Tech for Even More Immersive Games
For decades, rendering ray-traced scenes with physically correct lighting in real-time has been considered the holy grail of graphics. At the same time, the geometric complexity of environments and objects has continued to increase as 3D games and graphics strive to provide the most accurate representations of the real world.
Achieving physically accurate graphics requires tremendous computational horsepower. Modern ray-traced games like Cyberpunk 2077 run over 600 ray-tracing calculations for each pixel just to determine to light — a 16x increase from the first ray-traced games introduced four years ago.
The new third-generation RT Cores have been enhanced to deliver 2x faster ray-triangle intersection testing and include two important new hardware units. An Opacity Micro map Engine speeds up ray tracing of alpha-test geometry by a factor of 2x, and a Micro-Mesh Engine generates micro-meshes on the fly to generate additional geometry. The Micro-Mesh Engine provides the benefits of increased geometric complexity without the traditional performance and storage costs of complex geometries.
Creativity Redefined with RTX Remix, New AV1 Encoders
The RTX 40 Series GPUs and DLSS 3 deliver advancements for NVIDIA Studio creators. 3D artists can render fully ray-traced environments with accurate physics and realistic materials, and view the changes in real time, without proxies.
Video editing and live streaming also get a boost from improved GPU performance and the inclusion of new dual, eighth generation AV1 encoders. The NVIDIA Broadcast software development kit has three updates, now available for partners, including Face Expression Estimation, Eye Contact and quality improvements to Virtual Background.
NVIDIA Omniverse™ — included in the NVIDIA Studio suite of software — will soon add NVIDIA RTX Remix, a modding platform to create stunning RTX remasters of classic games. RTX Remix allows modders to easily capture game assets, automatically enhance materials with powerful AI tools, and quickly enable RTX with ray tracing and DLSS.
