At the GeForce Special Event today, Nvidia announced that Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War will be among the first wave of games to support RTX after the RTX 3070, 3080 and 3090 are announced. That's right, not only is Epic Games jumping on the bandwagon, but Activision is also trying to get "RTX on" for the latest installment in the Black Ops series. Nvidia also released a new trailer for Cyberpunk 2077:
Raytracing computes lighting in real time with incredible precision. This means more accurate reflections of glossy and metallic surfaces, better shadows, intense ambient occlusion, and more profound texture detail.
Fortnite is about to take advantage of it:
Soon, you will be able to experience Fortnite's Battle Royale, Creative, and Save the World modes in ray-traced, intense real-time, with AI accelerated frame rates and and a new low-latency esports technology suite-NVIDIA Reflex-you can no longer blame poor response times on the GPU.
Fortnite is set up to use Nvidia's AI-powered Deep Learning Supersampling (DLSS) to get the highest graphics fidelity with ray tracing and still not lose performance. At least, that may not be the case with the new RTX 30 series cards. [And with the RTX 3070 starting at just $499 and RTX 2080 Ti-level gaming performance, ray tracing may become more affordable.
