In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC with ray reconstruction enabled, we see extra detailed ray-traced reflections and better-defined ray-traced shadows, particularly when viewing raytracing results at steep angles. We additionally see enhancements within the ray-traced interiors and fewer ghosting and noise within the ray-traced ambient occlusion.
We’ve included two fashions of NVIDIA’s Ray Reconstruction, the unique mannequin launched in DLSS 3.5, and a newly improved mannequin designed for RTX 40 collection GPUs and newer. This new mannequin leads to an total extra temporally steady picture, additional enhancing the visible high quality of raytracing.”
