NVIDIA graphics cards, starting from the current generation GeForce RTX "Turing" lineup, will support the upcoming DirectX 12 Ultimate API. NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics card will support DirectX 12 Ultimate with ray tracing, variable-rate shading, mesh shader and sampler feedback. Ray tracing is currently only supported by NVIDIA Turing GPUs (Tier 1.1), while variable-rate shading is also supported by Intel HD Graphics Gen 11 (Tier 1). You can check the current state for DX12 tier support on this wiki page. The announcement of DirectX 12 Ultimate is possibly a way to provide clearer information, what features will be supported by existing and upcoming PC hardware and also gaming consoles (such as XBOX) as a leaked slide mentions.

    As I said many times,  better if raytracing went more standardized - instead of only locked down into proprietary
