Ray tracing in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring is finally here, but prepare to be underwhelmed.

Yesterday, March 23, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware released Elden Ring patch 1.09, which along with some balance changes and bug fixes, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:added the long-awaited ray tr𝕴acing capabilities on new-gen consoles🐓 as well as PC. Sadly, it seems that the wait has not been worth it.

, the latest update enables ray tracing for ambient occlusion and shadows but no ray traced reflections. As such, you'll see better shadowing on foliage and added depth to some textures, but sadly, it's far from the striking visual upgrade that players were hoping for.

Modder Lance McDonald noted on Twitter that "indoor shadows see basically no improvement" and that it "mostly adds vegetation shadows in the overworld". The modder shared images of the game running on their Geforce RTX 2070 Super, both꧑ with and without ray tracing, and as you can see below, the difference is negligible. 

To make matters worse, the update doesn't offer upscaling support, such as Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR, and Lance, as well꧟ as others, have noted that "performance takes a severe hit" when ray tracing is enabled. 

In the patch notes, FromSoftware warns players that "performance - such as frame rate and resolution - may be impacted while playing with Ray Tracing on" and advises PC players to keep the resolution at 1080p when using t🎉he feature. You'll find the minimum and recommended PC specs for ray tracing, as well as a full rundown of all the changes that patch 1.09 brings on .

FromSoftware is set to release 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon later this year, and that's seemingly not all it's working on. According to a staff member's LinkedIn profile, an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"unannounced project" has been in development at the stu♐dio since January 2022.
