DLSS 3 and Raytracing - Experience Next-Generation Gaming

You've always wanted to know what the future of gaming looks like? Then you've come to the right place. Today, we'll take a closer look at DLSS 3 and ray tracing - two technologies that take the gaming experience to a whole new level. NVIDIA made some exciting announcements at GDC 2023, which we'll explore together. Let's get started!

DLSS 3: Multiply Your Gaming Performance

DLSS 3 stands for Deep Learning Super Sampling 3 and is based on modern AI technology. It is based on GPU-accelerated deep learning and allows games to be rendered with fewer pixels without sacrificing image quality. This means that you can enjoy your games in crisp quality without your computer breaking a sweat. A real game changer!

Raytracing: Realistic Graphics and Immersive Experiences

Raytracing is a technology that has long been used by filmmakers and is now making its way into the gaming industry. It enables more realistic lighting effects, shadows, and reflections, resulting in even more immersion in your favorite games. When combined with DLSS 3, Raytracing becomes the new standard in gaming graphics.

Cyberpunk 2077: The Technology in Action

A prime example of the use of DLSS 3 and Raytracing is the game Cyberpunk 2077. Here, the so-called full Raytracing (also known as Path Tracing) is activated to create an even more immersive gaming experience. The best part? You can try out the Raytracing Overdrive mode for yourself starting on April 11!

AAA Games Supporting DLSS 3 and Raytracing

Several exciting AAA games were announced at GDC 2023 that will utilize DLSS 3 and Raytracing. Here are some highlights:

  1. Diablo IV: The latest installment in the legendary Diablo series will support DLSS 3 at launch on June 6, with Raytracing following after.
  2. Forza Horizon 5: The best open-world racing game of all time will receive an update for DLSS 3 on March 28.
  3. Redfall: The highly anticipated open-world shooter from Bethesda and Arkane Austin will launch with DLSS 3 on May 2, with Raytracing also coming later.

Developer-friendly tools for even more games with DLSS 3 and ray tracing

NVIDIA has given developers an easy way to integrate the new technologies into their games and applications with the release of DLSS Frame Generation and integration into Unreal Engine 5.2. This means for us gamers: we can look forward to even more top games with DLSS 3 and ray tracing!

Conclusion: The future of gaming is already here
