Elden Ring’s ray tracing announcement had me jumping up and down with excitement. While the game is already gorgeous without it, I was still curious what FromSoftware could do to make The Lands Between pop even more.
The answer? Elden Ring's ray tracing offers subtle but gorgeous improvements to what is already one of the best looking games ever made. But the performance hit is heavy, and unless you're packing serious hardware, you might not find the trade off to be worth it. I'm sitting here with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, yet certain areas had me down to 40 frames per second. It's mostly not this bad, but when it does drop, you will see it.
