Now that AMD has fixed up its drivers, Nixxes has flipped the RT switch on for Radeon GPUs in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
While AMD’s Radeon GPUs aren’t as renowned for their ray-tracing prowess as competitor NVIDIA’s, they’re fully capable of handling the effects, particularly when games are programmed to match the hardware—just take a look at how Metro: Exodus Enhanced Edition runs on red-team GPUs. In combination with the fact that PlayStation 5 systems are based on Ryzen and Radeon hardware, it was a real surprise when former PS5 exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apartlaunched on PC without RT support when running on AMD GPUs.It turned out that the issue was down, at least in part, to bugs in the Radeon graphics driver. AMD released a new driver on July 26th that fixed some bugs related to the game, but it took a second driver release, on the third of this month, before AMD was willing to mark down game-specific support for the new title.
