If you're on Pascal, you won't have that performance-enhancing mode available, and will have to slog it through software computations. If you have a Turing graphics card, you can test these demos in their full glory, with added DLSS for improved performance. Atomic Heart ( download) is another one that makes use of RTX for reflections and shadows, while Justice ( download) adds caustics to that equation. The Star Wars tech demo ( download) is the most well known, certainly, with its studies on reflections on Captain Phasma's breastplate. Three of them, in fact, in the form of three previously-shown tech demos. Whatever your side of the fence on that issue, however, NVIDIA has provided users with one more raytraced joy today. The move from NVIDIA could be framed as a way to democratize access to RTX effects via Windows DXR, enabling users of its GTX 16 series of GPUs to take a look at the benefits of raytracing but also as an upgrade incentive for those that now see how their performance is lacking without the new specialized Turing cores to handle the added burden. We've seen NVIDIA's move to provide RTX effects on older, non-RT capable hardware today being met with what the company was certainly expecting: a cry of dismay from users that now get to see exactly what their non-Turing NVIDIA hardware is capable of.
