Doom: The Dark Ages Gets Path Tracing Upgrade
In June, Doom: The Dark Ages will receive a major graphics upgrade. The game will move from ray tracing to Path Tracing, with support for DLSS 4 Ray Reconstruction. This will improve lighting, reflections, and overall image detail.
With DLSS 4 and Path Tracing turned on, the game is expected to deliver 7x more performance in 4K compared to traditional rendering. Nvidia says the experience will be smoother, more detailed, and visually stunning.
DLSS 4 Expands to More Games
DLSS 4 is quickly becoming one of the most widely adopted gaming technologies. It is now available in over 125 games and apps, with more titles joining soon, including:
- Crimson Desert
- FBC: Firebreak Inzoi
- Light of Motiram
- EA Sports F1 25
- Mindseye
- Portal with RTX
- Roadcraft
- Splitgate 2
- Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
Games like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 are seeing up to 4x FPS boost with the RTX 5060 compared to older RTX 3060 cards.
RTX Remix Will Revive Classic Games
Nvidia is also pushing forward with RTX Remix, a tool to remaster old games with ray tracing. Over 100 mods have already been released and 350 more are in development. Portal RTX has been enhanced with DLSS 4 and Neural Radiance Cache for even better visuals.
An RTX Remix Mod Contest has been announced on ModDB with $50,000 in prizes, showing Nvidia’s commitment to supporting the modding community. Over 2 million gamers have downloaded RTX Remix mods so far.
Good Availability Expected
Nvidia says it has prepared enough supply of the RTX 5060 chips to meet demand. However, availability may vary depending on regions and initial launch response.
With cutting-edge features, excellent gaming performance, and a competitive price, the GeForce RTX 5060 looks set to be a top choice for gamers looking to upgrade in 2025.
