What Are the Best Ray Tracing Games To Play on Nvidia RTX 5070?

1) Alan Wake 2

Alan Wake 2 features a dual protagonist and tells the story from both of their perspectives. Even though the game is mainly focused on Alan Wake, the titular character, you will also play heavily as Saga Anderson, since she becomes deeply connected to the story.

It’s a psychological horror title designed to scare and impress you, thanks to its enchanting visuals. Even without ray tracing, the game looks great, but it has some issues due to the apparent limitations of rasterization techniques. Enabling ray tracing fixes those limitations and makes the game truly photorealistic.

You will get close to 60 FPS with Path Tracing at 1440p in this game. Just make sure to enable DLSS Balanced upscaling.

2) Cyberpunk 2077

The game also received a DLC that greatly expanded the story. Players surely had a great time with this title and the expansion DLC. You will easily achieve 60 FPS at 1440p with Ultra ray tracing and DLSS Quality settings.
