“Cyberpunk 2077 is an incredibly ambitious game that combines first-person perspective and deep role-playing while creating a complex and immersive world where you can create your story,” said Matt Wuebbling, GeForce Marketing Director at NVIDIA. “We believe that the cyberpunk world will benefit greatly from the realistic lighting provided by raytracing.
NVIDIA ray tracing supported for Cyberpunk 2077
Ray tracing is the advanced graphics technology that empowers movies with their ultra-realistic visual effects. NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs contain special processor cores designed specifically to accelerate raytracing so that visual effects of games can be displayed in real time.
“Ray tracing allows us to realistically show how light behaves in a crowded urban environment,” said Adam Badowski, studio manager at CD PROJEKT RED. “Thanks to this technology, we can add another layer of depth and verticality to the already impressive megacity where the game is played.
