NVIDIA has announced that 500 RTX games and apps are now powered by DLSS, ray tracing, and AI-enhanced technologies, marking another major milestone for the platform that was originally launched alongside the GeForce RTX 2080, the world’s first RTX graphics card, on August 20, 2018.
As part of its celebrations, NVIDIA has shared an infographic that not only traces the history of RTX but also offers some impressive statistics for the technology, including how over 80 million hours of RTX games are being played each week:
NVIDIA goes on to thank both gamers, as well as publishers and developers, for supporting RTX and making it a success:
Thank you to the publishers and developers who brought RTX technologies to life. And thank you to all the RTX gamers who have grown to love RTX through each game, update and launch.
