When atomic heart Arriving on the market on February 21, 2023, users of GeForce RTX graphics cards were able to benefit from the performance offered by DLSS 3, DLSS 2 and NVIDIA Reflex technologies. With the new drivers and DLSS 3 enabled, 4K performance on a GeForce RTX 4090 is improved by 90%, reaching 184 frames per second. In the case of the GeForce RTX 4080, it improves by 80%, reaching 146 FPS. Using a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti at 1440p, DLSS 3 improves performance by 62%, being able to run the game at maximum graphics settings at over 160 frames per second. DLSS is also capable of improving performance in CPU-driven cases.
The new NVIDIA driver is also optimized for the best performance of the closed beta of THE FINALS, the upcoming free-to-play shooter from Embark Studios, launching March 7. The game will feature the following NVIDIA technologies:
- NVIDIA Reflex: Activates with a single click in the menu and reduces system latency by 55%, making controls more responsive immediately. In competitive titles like THE FINALSReflex represents a competitive advantage that can mean the difference between victory and defeat.
- NVIDIA DLSS: Users of RTX graphics cards can experience a performance boost with this AI-powered technology.
- NVIDIA RTXGI – Used to accurately calculate light and shadow when in-game buildings collapse and walls open up to players. RTXGI uses hardware-accelerated ray tracing to render more complex and realistic lighting on the fly. Players can enable RTXGI’s Dynamic Mode for realistic lighting that bounces around the scene, reacts to destruction, and interacts with volumetric fog and smoke.
The new Game Ready driver also supports RTX Video Super Resolution, an AI that handles image scaling and allows GeForce graphics card users to display video on 1440p or 4K monitors in a more clear thanks to artificial intelligence.
Users with an RTX 30 and 40 series GPU will be able to render video at lower resolutions that they view through Chrome and Edge browsers to improve image quality.
Combining the power of Tensor Cores, dedicated AI tensor cores found in NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards, with cutting-edge AI image processing techniques, RTX VSR is capable of rendering the image sharper, while improving certain aspects of videos such as borders, while removing artifacts derived from compression. RTX VSR works on most videos played via the browser: from content on Twitch or YouTube, to movies and series on platforms like Netflix, Disney+ or Hulu.
The new drivers also add one-click optimization for 7 new titles:
The NVIDIA Game Ready Driver program was created from the ground up as a method to provide the best gaming experience possible. This program creates synergy with game developers by establishing a regular cadence for exchanging game drivers and builds prior to release. NVIDIA works closely with game developers to find optimizations, fix issues, and iterate builds accordingly to ensure the Game Ready driver and game deliver the highest quality and performance at launch.
