NVIDIA has announced that ARC Raiders, the new PvPvE extraction shooter from Embark Studios, will support RTXGI. Thanks to RTXGI, lighting will be more realistic and responsive than before. And, in my opinion, this is great news as ARC Raiders felt really bland and flat in some of its early trailers.
RTXGI is NVIDIA’s real-time lighting technology that uses ray tracing to simulate realistic indirect lighting and reflections in games and 3D applications. For those wondering, yes. RTXGI is supported by non-NVIDIA GPUs. So, those with an AMD or an Intel GPU will be able to enable it.
ARC Raiders will be powered by Unreal Engine 5. So, the implementation of RTXGI is a pleasant surprise. Normally, I’d expect the devs to simply invest in using Lumen. However, the PC version will support RTXGI. Alongside RTXGI, ARC Raiders will also support NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Gen.
ARC Raiders will be released on October 31st. Embark Studios will hold a Server Slam Open Test between October 17th and October 19th. This Test will be available to everyone. From what I know, it will support DLSS 4. It should also have support for RTXGI. As such, you will most likely be able to test those features before purchasing it.
Finally, Embark Studios has shared the final PC requirements for ARC Raiders. PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen R5 1600 with 12GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, an AMD Radeon RX 580, or an Intel Arc A380. The devs recommend using an Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, or an Intel Arc B570.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
