The Complete List of PC Ray Traced Titles with Classification

[DegustatoR]

While we're on that topic:
Starship Troopers: Extermination Update 0.6.2 Patch Notes

Global Illumination

• We have added two new settings in Global Illumination
  • Lumen HWRT
    is hardware ray tracing, it uses the physical GPU hardware.
  • Lumen SWRT
    is a compute shader (software only) and does the ray tracing internally

Please make sure your hardware supports these settings, as performance may be impacted.

UE5 titles with Software Lumen are present since 2020, I didn't add them because it was implied that UE5 titles with Lumen already support software RT, even if they had hardware RT. It's a known quantity. Instead, I only add UE5 titles with hardware Lumen, RT shadows, or Path Tracing.

Don't you mean software not hardware?


Oh they are relevant, which is why they are included in the first category, it's just that UE5 games with Lumen are known to operate as compute ray tracing.

Sorry, yes i meant harDware

But ok, thank for your answer i understand better. I may should dig into the different methods of applying RT XD

When Skull and Bones launches on February 16th, PC gamers can activate Ray-Traced Global Illumination lighting to enhance image quality, and can accelerate performance with DLSS 2.

Three New Games Get DLSS Upgrades, Including Skull and Bones, and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Also, Smalland: Survive the Wilds launches this week with DLSS 2.

Added Synced, released in 2023, and supports RT reflections.

Added Retreat to Enen, released in 2022, supports RT reflections.

Added Soulmate, released in 2021 and supports RT reflections.

Steam :: Soulmate :: Patch V0.1 (Training Mode)

Hi Everyone, I have updated Soulmate to include a training mode. This is necessary for those of you who are unfamiliar with the game, and just need to get a grip on how the combat works. In the Main Menu, you will see a new tab titled "Training". When clicked, you will be taken to a flat map...

Added The Isles Evrima, supporting Hardware Lumen for RT global illumination and reflections.

Added Voxlands, supports compute Path Tracing, on all OpenGL class GPUs.

Diablo 4 gets the Raytracing update on march 26th and Star Wars Outlaw will support RTXDI: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/gdc-2024-dlss-rtx-full-ray-tracing-game-announcements/

 

[trinibwoy]

RTXDI in Outlaws is huge. Wonder if they added it to core Snowdrop or was it a custom thing for this game. Wukong could be big too.

 

[DavidGraham]

Also Black Myth: Wukong and NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will support full path tracing along side DLSS3.5.

Black Myth is particularly important as it's a UE5 game.

DLSS 3.5 and Full Ray Tracing Coming To Black Myth: Wukong, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT and Portal with RTX; Star Wars™ Outlaws Launching With DLSS 3 and Ray Tracing

Plus, Diablo IV’s ray tracing update arrives March 26, Sengoku Dynasty is available now with DLSS 3, and The First Berserker: Khazan will launch with day-one DLSS 3 support.<br/>

Star Wars Outlaws is launching with DLSS 3, Ray Tracing & Reflex delivering the ultimate PC experience.

Nvidia’s marketing in so confusing.

What’s the difference between “full raytracing” in Wukong and RTXDI + raytraced GI in Outlaws? Is that per-pixel GI or probe based?

My understanding is that Cp2077 is doing RTXDI (shadows) + RestirGI + RT reflections.

 

[DegustatoR]

What’s the difference between “full raytracing” in Wukong and RTXDI + raytraced GI in Outlaws?

Presumably the difference is that Outlaws will do GI with Snowdrop's own RTGI solution whil Wukong will use RTXGI for that.

 

[techuse]

Isn't RTXGI just probe GI with RT used to improve precision a bit? Seems like some top notch marketing to refer to that as full RT. Seems like whatever they are using is lacking in effectiveness though.

 

[trinibwoy]

The Wukong blurb doesn’t mention RTXGI. That’s the old probe based setup.

This is “Fully ray-traced Global Illumination” whatever that means.

 

[davis.anthony]

Full ray tracing is what Nvidia calls path tracing.

 

[pharma]

Full raytracing might refer to the more taxing, broad effects RT implementations found in games as opposed to weak RT implementations.
This phrase has also been extended to refer to path tracing games.

Outlaws won't have RT reflections. The GI is an in house GI system + the RTXDI from NVIDIA.

Full Ray Tracing in NVIDIA's term is Path Tracing. Cyberpunk uses ReSTIR GI + RTXDI + Reflections. Same thing for Portal RTX.

Black Myth won't be using RTXGI, they will use ReSTIR GI + RTXDI + Reflections as well as Caustics. Just like the UE5 game Desordre.

It doesn't look like it from the footage. GI looks quite limited.

What about the Wukong footage makes you say that? It’s outdoors with 1-2 light sources. The GI will be most noticeable in the subtlety and resolution of shadows. You’re probably not going to see light bouncing everywhere.

Exactly, it’s unclear what they mean. What if a developer (like 4A) develops their own path tracing solution? Does that count too?

Various areas are too dark. They would be receiving much more light with full GI as seen in Cyberpunk.

 

[DegustatoR]

Right, I confused ReSTIR with RTXGI.

Wukong looks really well. Naraka is the one which looks a bit weird.

It should. It was the case with CP2077 before they've switched to ReSTIR.
