Upscaling: Supports AMD FSR 2. NVIDIA DLSS support was not native at launch but may have been added via patches or is achievable via mods for some users. Ray tracing is available and very demanding.

Using upscaling is highly recommended for higher resolutions/settings, especially with ray tracing.
