While Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 did launch with help for upscalers like DLSS 3 and XeSS, it doesn’t function ray-tracing. That will change with a patch this week, bringing ray-traced graphics to the sport, however there is a catch – ray-tracing will solely be proven within the pre-game foyer and never throughout precise gameplay.
Nvidia acknowledged that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone will obtain an choice to allow ray tracing and Nvidia DLSS 3.5 with ray reconstruction within the pre-game foyer. So, until Nvidia miswrote the announcement, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III will not have DLSS 3 (campaign-only) or ray tracing help throughout precise multiplayer gameplay.
Unfortunately, the announcement would not clarify the rationale behind this choice, in spite of everything, who would trouble switching on ray tracing only for the pre-game foyer? However, it’s price noting that by doing it this manner, Activision can keep away from complaints about RT efficiency points throughout matches and likewise proceed to make use of the pre-game foyer as a automobile for promoting in-game skins. In all, not a terrific use or implementation of the expertise.
Something comparable occurred with Armoured Core 6, which additionally obtained ray tracing help however just for the sport’s storage. There have been no ray tracing results throughout precise gameplay, rendering them primarily meaningless. We additionally noticed this with Forza Horizon 5, which solely had ray-tracing results within the automotive viewer.
KitGuru says: It appears odd to me that Call of Duty video games are taking steps again with their PC graphics choices. Modern Warfare 2019 provided RT Shadows through the marketing campaign, just for RT results to be eliminated in MW2. Now, RT is again in MW3, however given the restrictions on when RT may be enabled, it feels fairly pointless.
