Recently, we reported that the developers of Shadow of the Tomb Raider released a long-promised update that introduced support for detailed ray-traced shadows using RTX and intelligent DLSS upscaling. You can see how this new shadow rendering method enhances the game's visual quality in the trailer released for this occasion and in the accompanying screenshots.<\/p>\n

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the developers report that ray tracing is used solely for shadow calculation, producing five new types of shadows. These include shadows from point light sources like candles and light bulbs; shadows from more directed rectangular light sources like neon signs; shadows from cone-shaped lights like flashlights or street lamps; shadows from sunlight; and finally, shadows from translucent objects like foliage, glass, and more.<\/p>\n

The screenshots clearly show that shadows in the game have indeed become much more realistic: there are now soft and semi-transparent shadows. Those interested can check out the dynamic screenshots from NVIDIA, which compare the game in RTX mode and without it: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.<\/p>\n

Ray tracing can be enabled in the graphics settings. There are three detail levels to choose from: «Medium», «High», and «Ultra», with the latter designed for enthusiasts who want to push beyond the capabilities of modern hardware (only here are semi-transparent shadows supported). Developers and NVIDIA recommend the «High» level for the best compromise between image quality and performance. The «Medium» level only supports light shadows from point sources, which are noticeable only in some early urban locations of the game.<\/p>\n

Shadow of the Tomb Raider also supports DLSS — according to developers, this technology allows for a performance boost of 50 % at 4K, 20 % at 1440p, and 10 % at 1080p. For various NVIDIA graphics cards, the following RTX and DLSS combinations are recommended:<\/p>\n
