📋 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Step 1: Enable Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode

In Graphics settings, set Ray Tracing to 'Ray Tracing: Overdrive'. This activates full bounce path tracing.

Step 2: Step 2: Turn ON 'DLSS Ray Reconstruction'

Enable Ray Reconstruction under the DLSS tab. This replaces 5 noisy denoisers with an AI model that clears ghosting on wet streets.

Step 3: Step 3: Enable DLSS Frame Generation & Reflex

Turn on DLSS Frame Generation. NVIDIA Reflex will automatically engage in 'On + Boost' mode to keep latency sub-25ms.

Step 4: Step 4: Lower Screen Space Reflections & Volumetric Fog

Since Path Tracing calculates true specular reflections, setting SSR to Off saves 8-12% GPU headroom.
