Nvidia's most underrated feature is on full display in Doom: The Dark Ages

Plenty of ink has been spilled about Nvidia's DLSS, but one feature of the performance-enhancing suite doesn't get enough love: Ray Reconstruction. That's because it's only in a small number of games, despite the impressive results it can yield. It's arriving alongside the long-awaited path tracing update for Doom: The Dark Ages, which is available to download now for free. And I got my hands on the update early to see what path tracing does in the game, and more importantly, how Ray Reconstruction improves it.
