Well, actually they always stated the implemented version was 2.X... With 3.5 comes frame generation and ray reconstruction, which were never mentionned AFAIK "An optimist is a guy who plants two seeds and runs to buy a hammock" Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi | MSI RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio | 32Go Corsair Vengeance 32Go DDR5 6000Mt/s CL30 | MasterLiquid ML360R | Corsair NVMe M.2 1To x2 | Seagate 2To SATA III | TM Warthog stick base w/ F/A-18C grip + WW Orion 2 throttle w/ F/A-18C grips | FSSB R3 L w/ TM F-16C grip + TM Viper TQS | MFG Crosswind V3 w/ damper kit | Meta Quest 3 128Go | Dell S2722DGM Mirage 2000C | F/A-18C | F-16C | Su-33 | Mig 29 | Supercarrier | Nevada | Persian Gulf | Normandie 2.0 | Syria | South Atlantic | Sinai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 3.5 comes frame generation and ray reconstruction, which were never mentionned AFAIK i don't know, but i assume that they have mentioned 2.x, since at that point 3.5 wasn't out yet. I further assume that switching to a newer DLSS version is not that big of a deal, so it would make sense that we have 3.5 now. FG and RR are optional and are not required for the DLSS upscaler and DLAA...

ebabil Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 After 2.9 I cranked almost all the settings up especially the shadows. Buildings without shadows always looked very annoying to me and now I am very happy.
