Diablo 4 gets ray-tracing and other titles are getting Nvidia DLSS upgrades

Diablo 4's anticipated ray-tracing update arrives this week, bringing ray-traced shadows and reflections to the land of Sanctuary. This isn't the only game getting RTX feature support this week though, with DLSS also heading to several other major games. 

Diablo 4's ray-tracing update drops this week, adding to previously available features like DLSS 2 or DLSS 3 with Frame Generation and Nvidia Reflex. Alone in the Dark, a new reboot of the classic horror franchise, is also available this week with DLSS 2, allowing RTX graphics card users to save some performance without sacrificing much in the way of visual fidelity.

Here are the full bullet points from Nvidia, including performance details for new releases like Horizon Forbidden West and Outpost: Infinity Siege:

  • Diablo IV – new update is available now which adds ray-traced effects to Sanctuary. The game is already accelerated with DLSS 3 Frame Generation and Reflex. The update adds ray traced reflection and shadows. With a GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU, you can multiply performance by up to 3X thanks to DLSS 3.
  • Outpost: Infinity Siege – launches today with DLSS 3 Frame Generation , DLSS Super Resolution and Reflex. At 4K, with every setting maxed out, DLSS 3 will multiply performance by an average of 3.3X in Outpost: Infinity Siege. With this massive frame rate boost, GeForce RTX 4090 users can hit 160 FPS, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER exceeds 120 FPS, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER tops 110 FPS, and the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER surpasses 100 FPS, giving GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers the definitive experience at the highest resolution, with everything cranked.
  • Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition – available now with DLSS 3 Frame Generation, DLSS 2 Super Resolution, DLAA and Reflex. At 4K, with every setting maxed out, GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers are able to double their Horizon Forbidden West™ Complete Edition frame rates by enabling DLSS 3 with just a few clicks. On the GeForce RTX 4090, performance tops 180 FPS; the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER surpasses 144 FPS, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti speeds past 120 FPS, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER exceeds 110 FPS, and the GeForce RTX 4070 runs at over 90 FPS.
  • Alone in the Dark – available now with DLSS 2 Super Resolution.
  • Lightyear Frontier – available now with DLSS 2 Super Resolution and DLAA

There will no doubt be another RTX games update next week, as Nvidia continues to set new milestones for DLSS-supported titles.

KitGuru Says: Are you picking up any of this week's big releases? I've been diving into Horizon Forbidden West myself and so far, I've been very impressed with how it looks and runs on PC, even without any dedicated ray-tracing effects.
