DOOM Eternal is set to be one of the games that will support both DLSS and Ray Tracing technologies. While it has already been quite spectacular, these updates will take it to the next level. The addition of ray-traced reflection and new physical effects with this patch will transform the DOOM Eternal RTX experience into something truly amazing. The patch is expected to be released in June 2021, as announced by NVIDIA at the beginning of the month.
This patch is currently in development by NVIDIA, and a special gameplay video showcases what it will bring. The footage was captured using the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti, with DLSS enabled, running in 4K at 75 to 110 FPS. The video provides a side-by-side comparison of gameplay with RTX on and off, featuring combat scenes and slow walks to demonstrate the effects in both fast and slow motion. While the video is only 3 minutes and 32 seconds long, it offers a glimpse of various scenes from the game.
Some players may express disappointment at the absence of certain expected ray-traced effects such as illumination, shadows, or ambient occlusion. Nevertheless, the overall visual impact is significant and may inspire PC players to consider upgrading their hardware to fully immerse themselves in the RTX-enhanced DOOM Eternal experience. Ultimately, isn't that what both NVIDIA and gamers desire?
