Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Is there Ray tracing?

Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, like many present-day games released on 9th-generation consoles and modern PCs, offers Ray Tracing features and options. On this page of our guide, we present and remind of the most important aspects of this technology that help attain real life-like graphics quality and bring it to the virtual worlds and in this case, to Pandora.

Ray Tracing options

Unlike many modern games, RT-related graphic options in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora are not grouped into one tab, but appear scattered all around the menus related to graphics. Below we present these options grouped into one list:

Sun Contact Shadows - this option affects the quality of dynamic shadows caused by rays of the sun.

Specular Reflections - determines the quality of reflections observed on wet surfaces, such as puddles.

Diffuse Reflections - determines the quality of subtle reflections generated on the surfaces of rough structures.

BVH Quality - this option influences the detail level of reflections on solids.

The impact of Ray Tracing on performance

Despite the increasing popularity of Ray Tracing in games, this technology still arouses a lot of emotions and discussion among PC and console gamers. The important aspect of Ray Tracing is that it is a resource-heavy option that can affect the performance of the game on the given hardware.

Therefore, if you want to achieve as much FPS as possible or improve the performance of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, we recommend limiting the scope or even completely disabling Ray Tracing. This advice will be especially important for owners of older graphics cards without hardware support for ray tracing, because these may have the most problems with generating these spectacular effects.
