This uses hardware-accelerated raytracing on NVIDIA RTX graphics cards. It is still currently experimental. Most features are supported, but a few are still missing like baking, branched path tracing and using CPU memory. https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.81/Cycles#NVIDIA_RTX For building with Optix support, the Optix SDK must be installed.
