Minimum Requirements for the Minecraft with RTX Beta: 

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit 
• GPU: Hardware ray-tracing capable GPU such as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or better 
• CPU: Intel Core i5 or equivalent 
• RAM: 8GB+ 
• Latest NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Driver

We are reviewing Minecraft with ray tracing on new graphics card hardware from AMD. Users on new graphics cards may experience some visual artifacts as we update. Please ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date to ensure the best performance.

Please note that at this time ray tracing cannot be enabled for all world seeds. To experience ray tracing you can either (1) download a free RTX-enabled world from the Marketplace or (2) create your own textures that make us of the physically-based rendering system and sideload them into the game. You can find instructions for creating your own PBR content for Minecraft at http://aka.ms/raytracingdocs
