How Cyberpunk 2077 Achieved Photorealistic Graphics with NVIDIA’s Tools

Stunning path-traced rendering comes to Cyberpunk 2077 in the upcoming Ray Tracing: Overdrive mode. In this GDC demonstration, see how NVIDIA Nsight Graphics was used to optimize path tracing in Cyberpunk 2077 by identifying and resolving a shader inefficiency. Implementing Shader Execution Reordering (SER) greatly improved path tracing efficiency.
