However, the future integration of this new CRYENGINE technology will be optimized to benefit from performance enhancements delivered by the latest generation of graphics cards and supported APIs like Vulkan and DX12.<\/pre>\n<p>This means that a GPU without any dedicated ray tracing hardware will be able to make use of Cryengine&#8217;s own real-time ray-tracing. You don&#8217;t need the RTX specific cards anymore to make use of this technology.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re excited to see what Crytek has in store for us, and we&#8217;re sure more information about their upcoming ray tracing technology will be detailed during GDC.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in downloading Cryengine, you can head over to this <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?redir_token=ZvQ038O2mh7au9zlK68nUFWGp6B8MTU1Mjc1MTAxOEAxNTUyNjY0NjE4&amp;q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryengine.com&amp;v=1nqhkDm2_Tw&amp;event=video_description\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>CRYENGINE is one of the most demanding game engines currently available and the games developed by CRYTEK have always pushed the barriers of what PC games are capable of.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about this real-time ray tracing technology showcased by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cryengine 5.5 is available and will now have support for non-RTX Real-Time Ray Tracing technology.
