So we don't have a catchy name for it. But I think it's a really cool, versatile system that allows us to basically take advantage of all of the different techniques that we've done so far. So, for The Division, we had the probe-based lighting, and this is continued now where we are using it as sort of a cache for the secondary bounces, screen-space GI and ray tracing. Of course we're also taking advantage of hardware ray tracing. But also one of the things that I think we should mention is that we also have a compute shader fallback for this, for graphics cards that don't support hardware-accelerated RT.}}</ref> |

- "I think one of the things that you will see with us is that - as we are all Swedes - we are pretty bad at naming things. So we don't have a catchy name for it. But I think it's a really cool, versatile system that allows us to basically take advantage of all of the different techniques that we've done so far. So, for The Division, we had the probe-based lighting, and this is continued now where we are using it as sort of a cache for the secondary bounces, screen-space GI and ray tracing. Of course we're also taking advantage of hardware ray tracing. But also one of the things that I think we should mention is that we also have a compute shader fallback for this, for graphics cards that don't support hardware-accelerated RT."
