Nvidia’s showcases Battlefield 2042 with RTX On – Ray Tracing, DLSS and More
Battlefield 2042 officially launches on November 19th, though easily access will start for the game’s premium editions on November 12th. Nvidia has already an optimised “Game Ready” driver for the game.
Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion will be available in Battlefield 2042, enhancing the game’s visuals. Strangely, Battlefield 2042 apparently lacks support for ray-traced reflections, a feature that was available in the PC version of Battlefield V. This change makes sense given the competitive advantage that players could get by utilising ray-traced reflections. Such reflections could allow some players to see other players in reflections while other players couldn’t.Â
DLSS will be a critical feature for Nvidia within Battlefield 2042, as it will give Geforce RTX users a major performance advantage over users of non-Nvidia graphics cards and non-RTX Nvidia Geforce GPUs. Assuming DLSS is implemented well, the feature can enable higher framerates with high fidelity visuals. That’s good news for anyone who’s targeting high framerates at high resolutions.Â
Below is what Nvidia had to say about their new Battlefield 2042 PC trailer with RTX.Â
