Minecraft RTX: All info on the beta

Minecraft RTX is a version that supports Nvidia's ray tracing technology. In Minecraft, this is even more surprising, since the game actually thrives on creative possibilities, but not on graphical splendor.

• The RTX version is thus a graphics update to the base game. The illumination of the blocks that signify the Minecraft world is done via pathtracing; the result is strong lighting effects and shadow casting.
• Every owner of the PC version has access to the RTX beta. However, a GeForce graphics card from RTX 2060 is required.
• In the game, you can deactivate RTX at any time, if desired.
• Thanks to six pre-made maps, you can directly get an impression of the effects.
• Die RTX-Beta kann sowohl im Survival- als auch im Kreativmodus gespielt werden.

Für Minecraft-Veteranen mit passender Hardware ist die RTX Beta somit einen Besuch wert, um das bekannte Spiel in einem Licht zu sehen – und das wortwörtlich.
