The 1.71 patch, which is also live on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, introduces an option to enable high resolution ray-traced reflections and another to have a second ray bounce for ray-traced global illumination. Of the two options, the high-resolution ray-traced reflections seem to be the most impactful, while the second seems to add more subtle changes that are easier to spot only in certain scenarios.
