Analyst reports. Academic papers. Ph.D. programs. There are a lot of places you can go to get a glimpse of the future. But the best place might just be El Coyote Cojo, a whiskey-soaked dive bar that doesn\u2019t exist in real life.<\/p>\n

Fire up Cyberpunk 2077 <\/i>and you\u2019ll see much more than the watering hole\u2019s colorful clientele. You\u2019ll see refractions and reflections, shadows and smoke, all in the service of creating more than just eye candy \u2014 each element works in tandem with the game\u2019s expansive and engaging story.<\/p>\n

Patching In: Cyberpunk 2077<\/i>\u2019s DLSS 3 Upgrade<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a tale that gets more mesmerizing with every patch \u2014 the updates game developers periodically release to keep their games at the cutting edge. Today\u2019s addition brings NVIDIA DLSS 3<\/a>, the latest in neural graphics.<\/p>\n

DLSS 3 is a package that includes a number of sophisticated technologies. Combining DLSS Super Resolution<\/a>, all-new DLSS Frame Generation, and NVIDIA Reflex, running on the new hardware capabilities of GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, DLSS 3 multiplies performance while maintaining great image quality and responsiveness.<\/p>\n

The performance uplift this delivers lets PC gamers experience more of Cyberpunk 2077<\/i>\u2019s gritty glory. And it sets the stage for the pending Ray Tracing Overdrive Mode<\/a>, an update that will escalate the game\u2019s ray tracing<\/a>, a technique long used to create blockbuster films and enhance the game\u2019s already-incredible visuals.<\/p>\n

The gaming press \u2014 perhaps the most brutal critics of the visual arts \u2014 are already raving about DLSS 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m deeply in love with DLSS with Frame Generation,\u201d gushes PC Gamer<\/a>. \u201cDLSS 3 is incredible, and NVIDIA\u2019s tech is undeniably a selling point for the [GeForce RTX] 4080,\u201d asserts PCGamesN<\/a>. \u201c[I]t\u2019s a phenomenal achievement in graphics performance,\u201d states Digital Foundry<\/a>.

<\/i>Twenty-one <\/i>games now support DLSS 3, including Dying Light 2 Stay Human<\/i>, Hitman 3<\/i>, Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns<\/i>, Microsoft Flight Simulator<\/i>, Portal with RTX<\/i>, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/i> and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide<\/i>. More are coming, including Atomic Heart, ILL SPACE <\/i>and Warhaven<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Playing with the Future<\/h2>\n

There are many tales on the increasingly immersive streets of Cyberpunk 2077<\/i>\u2019s Night City, but the one even non-gamers should pay attention to the story behind these stories: gaming as a proving ground for the technologies that will shape the future Cyberpunk 2077 is simulating right before our eyes.<\/p>\n

This is the best of the best. CD PROJEKT RED is known for supporting its flagship titles like Cyberpunk 2077<\/i> and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/i> for extended periods of time with a variety of patches that take advantage of modern hardware. It has earned a reputation as a game development studio that embraces emerging technologies.<\/p>\n

That makes its games more than a cultural phenomenon<\/a>. They\u2019re a technology-proving ground, a position held over the past two decades by a string of titles revered by gamers, such as Crysis<\/i>, Metro<\/i> and Far Cry<\/i>.<\/p>\n

PC Games Unleash Global Innovation<\/h2>\n

Building digital worlds such as these is the hard computing problem \u2014 the meanest streets in our increasingly digital world \u2014 out of which the parallel computing engines that are GPUs emerged.<\/p>\n

A decade ago, GPUs sparked the deep-learning revolution that has upended trillion-dollar industries around the world, one that continues with the latest advancements in generative AI such as ChatGPT and Dall-E that have erupted over the past month into a global cultural sensation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a case study in the disruptive innovations Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen identified as lurking in unexpected places.<\/p>\n

DLSS brings that revolution full circle, using the same deep-learning techniques harnessed for everything from cutting-edge science to self-driving cars to advance the visual quality of games.<\/p>\n

Trained on NVIDIA\u2019s supercomputers<\/a>, DLSS enhances a new generation of games that demand ever more performance. And the use of DLSS 3 is just one example of this benchmark game\u2019s innovations \u2014 innovations woven into the texture of the game\u2019s storytelling.<\/p>\n

CD PROJEKT RED uses DirectX Ray Tracing, for example, a lighting technique that emulates the way light reflects and refracts in the real world to provide a more believable environment than what\u2019s typically seen using static lighting in more traditional games.<\/p>\n

The game uses several ray-tracing techniques to render a massive future city at incredible levels of detail. The current version of the game uses ray-traced shadows, reflections, diffuse illumination and ambient occlusion.<\/p>\n

And if you turn on \u201cPsycho mode\u201d in the game\u2019s ray-traced lighting settings, you\u2019ll even see ray-traced global illumination as sunlight bounces realistically around the scene.<\/p>\n

Cyberpunk 2077<\/i>\u2019s Visual Storytelling Packs a Punch\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The result of all these features is a visually stunning experience that complements the world\u2019s story and tone: sprawling cityscapes that use subtle shadows to define depth, districts are bathed in neon lights, and windows, mirrors and puddles glistening with accurate reflections.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With realistic shadows and lighting and the added performance of NVIDIA DLSS 3, no other platform will compare to the Cyberpunk 2077<\/i> experience on a GeForce RTX-powered PC.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s just part of the bigger story.<\/p>\n

Games like these offer a window into the kind of visual capabilities now at the fingertips of architects and designers. It\u2019s a taste of the simulation capabilities being put to work by engineers at NASA<\/a> and Lawrence Livermore Labs<\/a>. And it shows what\u2019s possible in the next-generation environments for digital collaboration and simulation now being harnessed at scale by manufacturers such as BMW<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So muscle the geek in your life aside from the PC for an evening, grab the latest patch for Cyberpunk 2077<\/i> and a GeForce 40 Series GPU and gawk at the game\u2019s abundance of power and potential, put on display right in front of your face.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s where we\u2019ll see the future first, and that future is looking better than ever.<\/p>\n
