NVIDIA and CD Projekt Red have released full path tracing or ray tracing on Cyberpunk 2077.
Path Tracing, like Ray Tracing, has been around for a long time in the visual effects industry. But never used to do it in real time in games like Ray Tracing, but it will give the whole scene and the scene, which requires additional technology to use, namely
- DLSS 3.0
- Shader Execution Reordering (SER)
- RTX Direct Lighting (RTXDI)
- NVIDIA Real Time Denoisers (NRD)
Other game developers can also use the Path Tracing SDK to develop their own path tracking, with support for Minecraft and Quake II.
