That Atomic Heart game has some jaw dropping visuals!

It was also revealed today that Metro Exodus will be supporting NVIDIA RTX ray tracing technology.

elenarie, Developer at DICE:

I think people will be surprised at how well this will run in their respective final releases.

That's usually the case with every new technology. Seen as something situational at first, then when implemented across many different titles, it turns into something that people simply expect to have.

Sorry, can't speak about specifics yet. A bit too early.

According to Dark1x from DF there is also a playable Resident Evil 2 demo with RTX

Dark1x from DF also said:

Anyone saying BF5 doesn’t hit 60fps at 1080p is flat out wrong. That’s a lie or an incorrect understanding of what was being seen. It’s much higher.

Also, expect huge gains. This was less than two weeks of work by DICE. They barely had access to these cards prior to this event.

Let’s not judge so quickly here. BFV is much faster and we know the team had very little access to this hardware. I suspect TR is the same.
Also, TR is perhaps the least impressive playable game of the bunch in terms of how RTX is used. Resident Evil 2 and Metro look dramatically more impressive and ran like butter.

Dark1x said: from DF:

In this case, saying that it's "much faster" is as hyperbolic as saying that it runs like crap given that Nate at AnandTech has reported exactly the same thing as the blokes at pcgameshardware.de which is that both TR and BFV where struggling to hit a constant 60fps @ 1080P on the 2080Ti (obviously on pre-release drivers and games).

Thanks. Had not seen those links.

Some ideas on the way ray tracing will be used in the immediate and near future:

Different session/narrator w/ Gameplay.

@pharma I like this Battlefield V RTX gameplay in this video even better than the trailer because it showes very fast and visible to everyone how fake screen space reflections are. It's not just trifles, either. And this is just the beginning.

The on/off comparison in the first video (Atomic Heart) alone is "brutal". Multiple reflections would have to be expensive, I think. RTX is the right direction to close the gap between movies and games instead of 8K etc.

In racing games Raytracing reflections can be presented very well too.

Now they say it's fake.

woah, that Atomic Heart is spectacular, specially after the 6 minutes mark. Asseto Corsa shows how beneficial raytracing is for racing games too.

that being said, my body wants another racing game, but one with motorbikes instead of cars.

The self reflections in BFV are really cool but I’m pretty sure those puddles are overly shiny.

Soo when is there going to be an executable demo we can run on our own hardware?

BFV open beta starts really soon, but I don't think ray tracing will even be included immediately at retail launch. Have a feeling it'll be part of an update.
