Nvidia RTX features coming to Doom Eternal, Red Dead Redemption 2 and more

Today at Computex, Nvidia announced the RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti graphics cards. Alongside these new GPUs, the company also announced a number of games getting RTX feature support, including the likes of Doom Eternal, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Rainbow Six Siege. 

This follows on from rumours that ray-tracing would be announced for Doom Eternal. Sure enough, id Software has brought ray-traced reflections to the game, as well as Nvidia DLSS to save on performance. In a gameplay video, we can see the RTX 3080 Ti averaging over 60 frames per second with ray-tracing on and DLSS off at 4K resolution, switching DLSS on will enable even higher performance.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is also getting an RTX update this year, with the PC version soon getting DLSS. Rockstar's western epic is a demanding game on PC systems, so the inclusion of DLSS will allow RTX GPU owners to crank settings up further and play at higher frame rates. Ubisoft's popular shooter, Rainbow Six Siege, is also getting DLSS soon.

Other games getting ray-tracing and DLSS include Icarus, DYING: 1983, The Ascent and The Persistence.

KitGuru Says: There are now over 130 games and applications supporting Nvidia's RTX features, a list that should continue to grow in the second half of 2021.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
