Ray Tracing Continues to Change the Game this Holiday Season!

Today there are over 100 games and over 70 applications available with ray tracing support. The most anticipated games this holiday season include ray-traced lighting, including:
- A Plague Tale: Requiem
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Dying Light 2 Stay Human
- Resident Evil Village
- F1 22
- Fortnite
- Forza Horizon 5
- ICARUS
- Jurassic World Evolution 2
- Marvel’s Midnight Suns

- Saints Row (2022)
- The Callisto Protocol
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (12/14)

Gamers should make sure their next GPU is ready for today’s best games and ‘future-proofed’ — that GPU must have ALL three components:

- an AI-powered performance multiplier, such as NVIDIA DLSS
- a ton of rasterization horsepower
