Just like you can with FSR or RSR if you have Radeon. Pretty sure Intel will want to join the party too eventually and include similar options.

The mentioning of NVIDIA is not due to their upscaling tech, but their vastly superior RT performance, pretty sure none of the AMD cards will provide palyable fps even with FSR in this title.
I might try it tomorrow on 6800 XT.
Cool, I didn't realise FSR/RSR was now a driver feature. Great news for all PC gamers.
FSR can be applied to anything with 3rd party tools, but yea RSR should be the same and is driver feature.

Really promising stuff. Though we’re probably 2 more console generations away from the first AAA path traced game. And that initial rasterization / depth pass is probably going to stick around for a while as it’s useful for post processing.

The path traced spatio-temporal resampling stuff coming out now is getting into 30-60 fps territory on current hardware.
I wonder if 4A games is going to do anything like that for PC in the next Metro. They seem to be the only devs willing to embrace RT full on. If I’m not mistaken Exodus is still the only game using RT probe GI.

CP2077 and Dying Light 2 do as well. There's also some RT GI in RE8 but I don't know how it's implemented.
I can’t find any hard info on CP2077s GI implementation. My understanding is that the RT GI is per-pixel and only for the sun light.

CP2077 uses non-RT probe GI.

Nice. There is some RT GI too but it’s limited to a single bounce at 0.5 rpp for the sun.

So, Hitman 1 (2016) and Hitman 2 (2018) all received ray tracing updates alongside Hitman 3's recent update, and after revisiting some of the old missions I can't even fathom how people considered the planar reflections in the game as a suitable replacement to ray traced ones!
The Planar reflections were limited to very few surfaces, had lower quality shading (lighting/shadows) for reflections, discarded a lot of objects/animations from reflections, draw distance inside those reflections was very limited too! On the other hand, Ray Traced reflections had none of those limitations, they extended to all surfaces, curved or otherwise, covered all objects, and had crazy draw distance. There is simply no comparison whatsoever quality wise.

Now or in 2016 ?
