Silent Hill 2 stutters all over the place and it really ruins the game's atmospheric ambitions. Why is it stuttering? Can it be fixed? In answering those questions I stumbled on something possibly more disturbing than spikes on a frame-time graph. Enjoy!

The AAA norm is to release half broken on PC. Dragon Age: The Veilguard bucks this trend offering a PC-tailored user experience that scales well above the consoles. You will spend your time staring at its slick hair rendering and not at a frame-time graph.

Avatar: Frontiers Pandora is a Tour de. Force. Pandora is lit with incredible ray traced lighting and is teeming with ultra detailed foliage and wild life everywhere you look. Ubisoft Massive's upgrades to the Snowdrop Engine set an incredibly high bar.

Star Wars Outlaws on PC is one of the best looking games this gen with a PC version that is not artificially held back by consoles. What does RTXDI do? How is perf? What about the hidden max settings or DLSS Ray Reconstruction? I cover that and more!

We all have our preferences, but one that I could never get over in VG graphics is thanks to Doom 3. When idtech4 was shown off at Macworld 2001 running on Geforce 3 I was struck by Carmack saying "..the final unification of lighting and shadowing across all surfaces in a game.."

Almost 5 years after DXR's release Cyberpunk 2077 is the first AAA game with a near fully path traced rendering mode, but how did we get here so quickly? In this vid I go over the confluence of technologies that make it happen and where tech might go next!

Tiny Glade is a gorgeous ray tracing infused PC game made by a two person team: Tom Stochastic | Making Tiny Glade 🏰🌿 and Ana | Making Tiny Glade 🏰🌿. Why does it look so good? What makes it tick? How does it run? All that and more in my video review!

Black Myth Wukong is a gorgeous (and fun) game that surpasses expectations. The PC version's "Full Ray Tracing" additionally adds in visual nuances rarely seen in real-time rendering. But is everything perfect? What about #StutterStruggle? Find out!
