During the Nvidia RTX 30 series announcement in September 2020, Nvidia showcased the ray-tracing capabilities of its newly announced graphics cards using the Marbles at Night demo. Now, the demanding demo is freely available for all to test out first hand. 

Marbles at Night is a physics-based, playable demo that uses the RTX 30 series' ray-tracing capabilities to render a photo-realistic scene. The demo also uses DLSS to optimise performance and visual sharpness.

When Nvidia showed the Marbles at Night demo running for the first time, the system was equipped with an RTX 3090. To give you an idea of how demanding this demo is, this GPU is capable of running it at 1440p and 30 frames per second.
