The latest Nvidia drivers have added support for DirectX Raytracing to 10 series cards. You need a 1060 or higher or a 16 series GPU to support this feature.

Just buy an RTX. It just works

I'm waiting for the 2180Ti before upgrading my GPU.

Are there more than like 3 games out now that utilise it?

As a 2080ti owner I can answer that with a big fat no. Well if you want anything over 60fps that is.

A cool sentiment but I'd rather not have my 1070 turn Coventry into Chernobyl.

At least you would get a 'tan'

This actually runs decently. At 1080p the Star Wars demo runs at 20-25fps. I was expecting much worse from two-year-old hardware running ray-tracing.

and we wont get space invaders on screen either !

Double07 · 12 Apr 2019 at 16:37

Sweet, now we can play at frame rates that make old PAL consoles look buttery smooth

Isn't that only 5fps short of the 20 series ?

Does anyone have a list of games that support DirectX raytracing? I'm curious to try one out just to see how it performs? I know about Battlefield 5 but was wondering if there was a comprehensive list anywhere?

Thanks. Shadow of the Tomb Raider seems like the best option for me to try out.

Ray tracing in Tomb Raider only affects the shadows, which isn't really something I ever pay much notice to.
