How to get Ray trace at 60 fps?

[Mooseface66]

I am trying to get my game to run ray tracing at 60fps consistently but fail to do so. Does some have the sauce to do it?
My Specs :
Ryzen 5 5600x
EVGA 2070 super RTX 8GB
32 GB RAM @ 3200 MHZ

I don't know the answer of whether it's possible as I have a more powerful card, but for people to be able to help you it's vital you state what resolution you're running the game at.

[Mooseface66]

I currently use 1920x1080p

simply put, it is not possible. a 4070 can't w/o DLSS3, and your 2070 super can't maintain 30 with RT and no interframe generation or upsampling lower rendering resolution. You can't even maintain 60 with RT off, without FSR/DLSS, in what world would enabling RT make this easier?!

Sorry choom, it's just a beast of a game. If you like RT, deal with the variable framerate, if not, disable it. If neither of these appeal to you, I'm sure 4090s will go on sale when the new 50 series drop.

Maybe someone with a 2070 super can provide more accuracy here, but realistically you can't with those specs and with that framerate target consistently because of how the game has been restructured with 2.0, but you can fine-tune them to get something that's close. Forget about path-tracing (overdrive mode). We'll tackle the normal ray tracing options.

1. Don't use ultra settings, instead use high overall.
2. Use Balanced DLSS. It's not great at 1080p, but in your case it's important.
3. Tune RT lighting to either high or medium, not Ultra or Psycho.
4. RT reflections is something you may need to disable entirely because it's very demanding. If you want RT reflections though, don't enable ray reconstruction as it will reduce your performance due to the few active denoisers you have.
5. Turn down crowd density to medium.
6. You may need to choose between RT local shadows or sun shadows if it's still underperforming. Choose whatever you think looks best.

Not sure if these will be adequate for you, but you can try. You could also look into overclocking, but I don't really recommend it. If I were you though I would just use the Ultra or High preset + DLSS Quality without ray tracing. The game looks great even without it.

I upgraded from a 2070S recently and honestly I don't think you'll be getting stable 60 or above with RT on, unless you lower a lot of the settings but even then it's a 50/50 if you'll hit 60fp

I can do this with my i7 9700k, 16gb ram and regular RTX2070, 60+ fps (average seems to be around 80) at 1080p with DLSS quality and raytraced reflections - I even enabled raytraced local shadows earlier because I thought the maxed out regular ones looked a bit jaggy in some scenarios. But I am using the FSR3 mod. The fps boost is insane. There is also a mod that removes the ghosting from the third person driving when using said mod.

Worth a shot, surely?

Not enough vram, you can try lower quality textures and dlss balanced but game will look ugly and it’s not worth it

I had a 2070 (not Super) and Ryzen 2700X when the game was new, and although the system requirements was lower then, GeForce Experience automatically set up the game with 2 of the RTX settings enabled, at 1440p. Framerate was 45-55 with that, and I was relatively happy.

Have GeForce Experience suggest settings for you, unless you haven't tried that already, and tweak settings manually afterwards, if needed. You should be able to play at 60 fps in 1080p with some ray tracing enabled, I suspect.

I have the same CPU as you now, btw (R5 5600X) and a 3070 Ti (rest of specs in profile) and have no problems running at 60 fps (locked in Nvidia control panel) with all raytracing options enabled at ultra, also 1440p. DLSS balanced, ray reconstruction and most settings on high / ultra. In case you plan to upgrade to a relatively cheap new card (although a 4060 or something is probably both smarter and cheaper these days).

You have to get a more powerful gpu that doesn't exist yet.

Interesting.. My 2080S allows me to do ray tracing pretty well and I'm running 1920x1080p. 80-90fps.

Depends on each game really. Some implement things better. Other not so much. Sometimes something as stupid MSAA can even kill your performance no matter how much hardware you throw at it.

I'd say having played with both RT on and OFF in 2077. The only place where I feel like raytracing actually shines is in car interiors/3rd person driving. Everywhere else.. it doesn't really have the same.. 'impact' I personally think.

I have read all the replies and will be trying your guy's methods that have 2070's and 2080's. For the others, i do greatly appreciate your guys input, including those about getting a better graphics card with more VRAM. I have been looking at trying to save for a 3080/3090 EVGA since they do not make a 40 series card. I will come back to the post discussion in the next 24 hours with results from your guy's methods and hopefully shed more light on those with specs similar to ours

[Daemonjax]

Turn framegen on.
;)

4070 ti super's are "only" $800 msrp.

Hell I run a 4080 super and I can't even get 30 fps with Ray trace

use 1080p, RT ultra, DLSS = performance/ultra performance.

You need a new card, 4070Ti is minimum
And a better CPU, like 5800X3d or better
