Minecraft, one of the biggest video games in the world, is getting a massive graphics overhaul - here's what it looks like

Here's a scene in "Minecraft" with RTX off, which is how the game normally looks.

Here's the same scene with Nvidia's RTX on, with the ray tracing enhancements.

Minecraft was originally released in 2011 by Mojang Studios, and it's immediately recognizable from its blocky graphics compared to other popular video games.

Minecraft's graphics haven't changed much in the last few years. Ray tracing marks one of biggest graphical changes to come to Minecraft.

Nvidia's ray tracing will even work with "Minecraft" mods, which plays a big role in the "Minecraft" community.

"Minecraft's" doesn't need a powerful machine to run.

But you'd need an Nvidia "RTX" graphics card to play the game with the biggest graphics overhaul in its history.

Nvidia RTX graphics cards on their own start at about $350. Meanwhile, Minecraft can typically be played on a laptop that costs $350.
