DLSS has proven to be a critical factor in Nvidia's ray tracing push, as rendering at a lower resolution and then upscaling can result in far better framerates.

There are likely other pre-existing games that supported RTX cards back before AMD's RX 6000 series launched that don't properly work, but most of the games we've tried are now working okay.īesides DXR, eight of the games also support Nvidia's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology, which uses an AI trained network to upscale and anti-alias frames in order to boost performance while delivering similar image quality.

Maybe the game will get a patch to VulkanRT at some point, but probably not. Most will, but Wolfenstein Youngblood unfortunately uses pre-VulkanRT extensions to the Vulkan API and thus requires an Nvidia RTX card.

Things aren't quite so simple, however, as not every ray tracing enabled game will run on every GPU. The premise sounds simple enough: Run a bunch of ray tracing benchmarks on all the GPUs. All of the graphics cards are reference models from AMD and Nvidia, with the exception of the RTX 3060 12GB - Nvidia doesn't make a reference card, but the EVGA card we used does run reference clocks. You can see the complete list of GPUs we've benchmarked along with specs for our test PC, which uses a Core i9-9900K paired with 32GB of DDR4-3600 memory.

We've also included the fastest and slowest Nvidia Turing RTX GPUs from the previous generation, to show the full spectrum of performance. For the best reliability you'll want to either grab a Vega 10 series GPU(RX Vega 64)or wait for the issues with the MacPro7,1 to be ironed out.We've gathered all of the latest AMD RDNA2 and Nvidia Ampere GPUs into one place and commenced benchmarking.

While it may seem obvious that the most powerful GPU would be the Radeon VII, do keep in mind drivers aren't as mature as Vega 10's drivers.

Unfortunately the variety for fanless GPUs are quite small, while there are many GPUs with fan-stop these aren't perfect solutions. Here are the cards we recommend and do remember that reference cards are generally the safest solution. So you just want a GPU recommendation? Well honestly in the current situation the only cards we'd recommend would be from AMD that are either Polaris(Rx 4xx, 5xx) or newer as GCN 3 and older can lose support at any time.
