I can't believe how good Fortnite looks now.

Yesterday, I would have described Fortnite as a reasonably good-looking game that runs on anything. After today's massive Chapter 4 update, I'd describe Fortnite as a graphical showcase that demonstrates just how pretty the next generation of 3D games will look.

Trees reflected in ice and beautifully lit branches won't look new to PC gamers who've enjoyed ray tracing capable GPUs for the last handful of years, but the neat part of Lumen is that it's hardware agnostic. Those pretty reflections are with hardware ray tracing set to Off. Optionally, you can unleash your RTX card's tensor cores on Lumen to get higher quality results, but this is at risk of lower performance.

That TSR upscaling introduces some graphical weirdness to the first minute or so of a match, too. Characters in motion sometimes leave behind grainy blurs that can get distracting. I noticed this can look especially bad when looking close up at cel-shaded character skins, like this dancing. It's a ghosting effect similar to what used to happen a lot in older versions of DLSS .
