Web-slingers, prepare for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC. Nixxes has announced the official PC system requirements and detailed the game's enhanced ray tracing features. Experience Marvel's New York with unprecedented visual fidelity.
Spider-Man 2 on PC: Ray Tracing Enhanced
For gamers prioritizing visual quality, Spider-Man 2 on PC delivers. Ray tracing is a central feature, offering numerous adjustable options to balance performance and visual appeal. Customizable ray tracing options include:
- Ray Traced Reflections: Enhances skyscraper reflections during city traversal.
- Ray Traced Interiors, Shadows, and Ambient Occlusion: Adds environmental depth and realism.
- Increased Ray Tracing Geometry Detail: For high-end systems, allows for more detailed reflections.
- Ray Tracing Object Range Slider: Controls the rendering distance of ray tracing effects.
NVIDIA RTX card users gain additional benefits.
NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction: A Visual Upgrade
Nixxes incorporates NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction to improve ray tracing quality. According to Menno Bil, Graphics Programmer at Nixxes, DLSS Ray Reconstruction aims to achieve more detailed ray tracing by combining denoising and upscaling. This preserves information across frames to add subtle details that might otherwise be lost.
Expect these improvements:
- More detailed ray-traced reflections.
- Sharper ray-traced shadows.
- Improved ray-traced interiors.
- Reduced ghosting and noise in ray-traced ambient occlusion.
Two Ray Reconstruction versions are included, with an enhanced model for RTX 40 series and newer GPUs.
Ultra-Wide Support and Performance Optimization
Spider-Man 2 on PC fully supports ultra-wide monitors, including 21:9, 32:9, and 48:9 aspect ratios for triple monitor setups. Cinematics are adapted for these wider formats, ensuring an immersive experience.
Performance optimization technologies include:
- NVIDIA DLSS 3 Upscaling and Frame Generation
- AMD FSR 3.1 Upscaling and Frame Generation
- Intel XeSS Upscaling
Scalability Across PC Hardware
Nixxes emphasizes scalability, ensuring the game performs well on both high-end and older PCs. A range of graphics settings, including options without ray tracing and dynamic resolution scaling, allows for smooth gameplay on various systems.
