  New 425.31 Nvidia Drivers Bring Ray Tracing to Older GTX Cards

  Remember about a month back when we told you that ray tracing was coming to those with non-RTX Nvidia cards? That day has finally arrived. With today's release of the 425.31 drivers, those on 1060 and higher cards can now give real-time ray tracing a spin.
