"Cyberpunk 2077 to Introduce Path-Tracing Overdrive Mode for Stunning Visuals"

TL;DR Summary
Nvidia has announced a new technology preview for Cyberpunk 2077 called "Overdrive Mode" that supports path tracing, a more advanced graphics technology than ray tracing. Path tracing follows light as it bounces around an environment, producing physically accurate soft shadows that make graphics look more realistic. Nvidia also released a developer kit to pave the way for the next generation of graphics. However, the technology requires the most powerful Nvidia RTX 40-series GPUs, and performance issues may arise.
