'Minecraft' looks like a whole new game with NVIDIA's RTX ray tracing

It didn't matter if I was underwater or just looking up at trees, the diffuse light looked so good I almost didn’t believe it was being rendered in real time.It might sound like I'm just gushing over pretty graphics, but after spending hours in this Minecraft beta, I'm more excited than ever about how ray tracing will change the way we experience games. Going full tilt in ray tracing is something we've only seen demoed so far with this Minecraft beta and NVIDIA's RTX enabled Quake 2 demo.Ray tracing feels similar to HDR in that it’s a new way to add depth and texture, no matter if it’s rendered in 1080p or 4K. NVIDIA claims an RTX 2080 Max-Q machine, like Acer's Triton 500, will hit 57 FPS in Minecraft with ray tracing and DLSS enabled.
