Cyberpunk 2077 To Showcase Truly Next-Gen RTX Path Tracing as part of RT: Overdrive Mode in GDC Presentation

How will RTX Path Tracing enhance the realism of Cyberpunk 2077?

With the much-awaited release of Cyberpunk 2077 fast approaching, developer CD Projekt Red is sure to make the most of the upcoming Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. The company’s presso announced earlier this week that the team will showcase the game’s next-gen RTX Path Tracing as part of their “RT: Overdrive Mode” presentation.

It’s nearly impossible to ignore how revolutionary RTX Path Tracing technology is. Starting its journey four years ago, RTX Path Tracing has become an intrinsic part of next-gen games. Simply put, RTX Path Tracing is a ray-tracing based rendering technique that dramatically improves the visual quality of games by adding realistic reflection, refraction and even global illumination. Developed by NVIDIA, the RTX Path Tracing can provide the most accurate and lifelike visuals that have ever been seen in video games.

It’s going to be interesting to see how Cyberpunk 2077 will take advantage of this revolutionary technology. According to CD Projekt Red’s press release, the game’s RT: Overdrive Mode will be used to showcase the game’s RTX Path Tracing-based effects to the fullest. This mode will allow gamers to experience ray-traced lighting and shadowing, as well as global illumination in real time. Gamers who have the unfortunate task of testing Cyberpunk 2077’s RT: Overdrive Mode have commented that the visuals in this new mode are astounding and even surprising.

At the GDC presentation, CD Projekt Red will show how remarkably immersive and lifelike Cyberpunk 2077 looks with the help of RTX Path Tracing. We’ll also get to check out how the developers have employed this revolutionary tech in various aspects of the game. The combination of RTX Path Tracing and RT: Overdrive Mode will bring more vibrant colors, more realistic materials and more detailed shadows that make sense within the game’s world.

What’s more, the game’s GDC presentation is also expected to reveal details about the game’s ultra-wide monitor support capabilities. With the help of these capabilities, gamers will be able to enjoy an immersive and genuine experience while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on an ultra-wide monitor.

It’s no secret that Cyberpunk 2077 will be one of the greatest visual achievements ever seen in gaming. With the aid of NVIDIA’s RTX Path Tracing and RT: Overdrive Mode, the game’s visuals are sure to blow us all away. The only thing left now is to wait until GDC to get a glimpse of Cyberpunk 2077’s upcoming RTX Path Tracing effects.
