Last year, the first wave of ray-traced effects games hit the market, bringing environments to life with beautiful and realistic reflections, shadows, and lighting. NVIDIA and developers are constantly working on improving RTX and have now announced that an update dedicated to tracing will appear in Wolfenstein: Youngblood one of these days.
Effects based on reflections of light rays have been added to the game. Any surface will have accurate, high-quality, and detailed reflections that enhance image fidelity. The effects in dynamics look especially good, reacting to the work of weapons, enemies, and so on:
To enable RTX reflections, you need to install , have an updated version of Windows 10 and download an update for the game. After that, in the advanced options in the shooter menu, you need to enable ray-traced reflections and restart the game. To mitigate some of the performance impact of ray tracing, NVIDIA offers intelligent DLSS scaling, constantly improving the quality of the latter through machine learning.
With DLSS enabled, the company recommends the GeForce RTX 2060 for 1920x1080, the GeForce RTX 2070 for 2560x1440, and the GeForce RTX 2080 for 3840x2160 (in 4K, the DLSS algorithm defaults to "performance" instead of "quality"). At these resolutions, thanks to DLSS, GeForce RTX accelerators should provide a comfortable game in Wolfenstein: Youngblood with a frequency of more than 60 frames / s with active ray tracing and maximum graphics settings (users with 6 GB of video memory will also have to reduce texture detail by one level). Also, ray tracing in the game is not currently supported on graphics cards other than GeForce RTX due to bugs and performance issues.
NVIDIA, using Wolfenstein: Youngblood as an example, demonstrates a very significant improvement in the quality and speed of DLSS compared to games in 2019. But the work of NVIDIA specialists will not end there, and the owners of RTX accelerators have the right to expect further significant improvements in this direction.
Also, by installing the latest version of GeForce Experience, players in Wolfenstein: Youngblood will get support for Highlights - automatic capture of the best and most spectacular moments of the gameplay, which can be later edited and uploaded to YouTube and social networks.
