On the surface, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is pretty much the exact same trilogy of games that you remember. Saving the galaxy, recommending products on the Citadel, and getting freaky with alien species (I’m looking at you, Morden Stans). Under the hood though? It’s a whole new game.

Facial animation technology captures every nuance of a performance, worlds look real enough to live in, and ray tracing is resulting in the lighting that gives life to these environments looking better than the real deal. There’s going to come a time when video games are indistinguishable from reality, and Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick believes that it’ll only be a mere decade to reach photorealistic visuals within video games.

After having experienced the graphical upgrade, do your tastes lean towards frame-rates uber alles? Or can you still handle a cinematic gaming experience if the visuals justify it?

Gears 5 was always a handsome-looking game, but its next update is going to increase the beefiness of its visuals to dangerously muscular levels. MUSCLES AND GUNS YO! Alongside new graphical bells and whistles, you’ll be able to start New Game+ Mode and…play as former WWE superstar Dave Bautista? Well alright then.

Silky smooth frame every second or a more cinematic quality mode in Demon's Souls. It's time to choose.

Devil May Cry V Special Edition not only makes Dante’s infinitely cooler and swifter brother Vergil playable, but you’ll be able to slay demons at lightning-fast frame-rate.

The whole point of a graphics card is to make games look shinier, smoother and prettier overall, which is exactly what DOOM Eternal is doing in the video below. It’s also using the new Ampere-powered technology to make textures pop better, demonic infestations ooze more than ever and paint the planet red in an ocean of blood.

Marvel's Avengers from Crystal Dynamics is a treat for the eyes when cranked up to maximum, but there's still a lot of work to be done of maintaining a smooth frame-rate.
