CD Projekt Red and Nvidia have shared a preview of Cyberpunk 2077 running with an “Overdrive Mode” of ray tracing, though only high-end gaming PCs will be able to run it.Cyberpunk 2077‘s Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode will be released next Tuesday (April 11), and ahead of the launch, Nvidia has shared a brief clip highlighting how the upgraded ray tracing feature will affect Night City’s visuals.“This demo showcases path tracing, also known as full ray tracing, an advanced, GPU-intensive form of ray tracing that accurately simulates light throughout the entire scene,” reads a message in the video.You can watch Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode in action below.Nvidia has explained that while standard ray tracing methods enhance “shadows, reflections, and global illumination” from a smaller number of light sources, full ray tracing enhances “all properties of light from an unlimited number of emissive sources”.The demo includes shots of Night City with and without ray tracing enabled, showcasing a much more intricate lighting system for a number of the game’s scenes.Additionally, this blog post from Nvidia includes more examples of Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode in effect.However, the blog has also pointed out that this update is intended for Nvidia’s latest 40-series graphics cards, and is “extremely GPU intensive”.As a result, only fans with the best-performing gaming PCs should expect to make use of this update.
The 40-series GPUs are still particularly pricey, with the 4090 card used to film the above demo going for £1600.However, Nvidia’s GeForce Now subscription service will allow players to access the upgraded visuals without owning the correct hardware, as the company has confirmed full ray tracing will be enabled for Geforce

Emily Longeretta Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton and Bethany Joy Lenz are continuing to use their voices to spread awareness about the abuse they suffered throughout their television careers. During Monday’s episode of the “Drama Queens” podcast, the actors were joined by Danneel Ackles to recap the Season 4 finale of “One Tree Hill.” However, the discussion turned into a much more emotional one that explained why they keep speaking out about the behavior of creator Mark Schwahn and what they experienced on later jobs. First, Burton claims that Schwahn told everyone she was doing cocaine while filming the episode, during which she was taking caffeine pills to make it through the night shoots. Ackles and Burton also alleged that he then called their next employers to say they were problematic. Lenz added, “He was super happy to say anything that he could to keep people from hiring us at any moment.”

Cole Bennett’s media empire Lyrical Lemonade has revealed the lineup for the 2023 edition of the Summer Smash Festival in its home state of Illinois. The headliners are pretty familiar if you follow major North American rap festivals —Kid Cudi, Future, and Playboi Carti — though one of the fest’s marquee performers is a secret for now, billed only as “a very special Chicago guest.” Best case scenario it’s Chief Keef, who hasn’t returned to the state in years.
“Renfield,” an outrageous new take on Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” told from the point of view of the count’s perpetually put-upon manservant (played here by Nicholas Hoult), the notion of being too over-the-top is considered and then hastily breezed by. In the opening sequence alone, an ancient curse is placed on the dark prince (played, with much scenery-chewing, by Nicolas Cage); when Dracula is freed he turns into a vaporous mist and explodes a priest from the inside. Then Dracula catches on fire and is turned into a crispy skeleton.The sequence is telling both for its bold tonal shifts and for the manic approach to action.
