Nvidia showed off some amazing demos of real-time ray tracing graphics on its Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics chip at its press event at CES 2019, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas this week.

It showed new demos from Electronic Arts on its Battlefield V and Anthem games, where reflections show up in the environment naturally, so you can see amazing effects like fire reflected on the surface of a car as a flamethrower is going off nearby. The Anthem trailer also showed cool shadows and lighting based on sunlight coming through complex scenes.
