Doom Eternal will be getting the most attention, with the RTX update bringing Vulkan Ray Tracing, which more accurately simulates the way that light works in real-time.

This is utilised to deliver increased graphical fidelity and improved reflections especially on metallics and polished service. A video comparison is available below:

iD Software‘s studio director Matt Stratton said of the update: “With the addition of ray tracing to idTech and support for Nvidia DLSS, we’re pushing the engine in exciting new ways and we can’t wait for GeForce RTX gamers to experience it.

DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is a method of rendering graphics by using an AI to improve the Tensor Core AI processes on GeForce RTX GPUs. It allows for improved performance without costing much in the way of extra hardware drain, which makes it perfect for eking performance boosts out of older hardware.
