Players who like the game “Portal” probably shouldn’t miss “Portal with RTX”. Although the AMD Radeon graphics card can execute, the performance of Ray Tracing is not very good, and the Intel Arc cannot be executed, so in the end we have to choose NVIDIA GeForce RTX. As for experiencing DLSS 3, it must be a GeForce RTX 40 series graphics card up.
