NVIDIA Announces DLSS 3 and Reflex Updates for Several Upcoming AAA Games

[btarunr]

NVIDIA provided a quick update in its Gamescom 2023 presentation on several upcoming AAA games. Before that, NVIDIA provided a brief overview on how the RTX ecosystem is shaping up. There are now over 450 games and apps accelerated by RTX today. On games that support RTX ray tracing and DLSS, NVIDIA measured that 79% of the gamers turn DLSS on, and 83% of them turn RT on. DLSS is a sought-after feature in the PC gaming space, as it unlocks higher levels of performance than what a given tier of gaming hardware is capable of.

On to the specific announcements, and NVIDIA revealed that the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III will come with support for DLSS 3 Frame Generation, and NVIDIA Reflex. Payday 3 is another hotly anticipated title, and it gets both DLSS 3 and Reflex support, when it launches this September. Another major announcement is that Fortnite gets DLSS 3 Frame Generation support. This should prove particularly useful for those on mid-range RTX 40-series GPUs such as the RTX 4060, as it would allow them upgrade headroom for higher resolution monitors, or room for more eye-candy as Epic Games adds them with future updates.

Frame generation for Fortnite? Very useful indeed

it might actually turn into an advantage if it makes you lag a little bit over enemies aiming at you... will be interesting to see. I don't play the game, but I fascinated by the technical stuff of it all

"NVIDIA measured that 79% of the gamers turn DLSS on"

I wish I had the capital to sue the leather jacket for spreading false information to the market. Not even 50% of gamers have a GPU capable of enabling DLSS.

Nvidia bought techpowerUp? it wouldn't it be more efficient to unify most of those thousands of articles about Nvidia?

Well I play the game a lot with my kid and I can tell you lag is horrible for you, what happens is that you shoot the other guy in the head and he takes no damage. Why? Because he's not where the screen it's showing him to be. Frame generation makes extremely little sense for Fortnite (I'm trying to be nice here), but I guess as a marketing prop it's still good to have it because the game has a lot of success.

Good thing that internet-lag and input-lag are 2 completely different things...

What? Obviously he is talking about gamers that have a DLSS capable card.

I guess you can't win with Radeon then, reflex reduce input latency by half in Fortnite

Ditto, it's very annoying whenever there's some tech event to get a barrage of posts with every announcement from that company, be it nvidia, intel, amd, apple, whatever.

TPU -- like most media sites online -- worships at the Temple of the Almighty Pageview.

Having ten articles with 30 comments apiece is better than one summarized post covering ten topics with a lot more posts.

Worse, the discussion gets messy. If you combined all of the press releases into one post, it would result in a cacophony of comments that would be hard. Imagine a press conference after a Yankees-Red Sox ballgame and people started yammering about the Women's World Cup, the Cincinnati Open tennis tournament, and Tiger Woods' new golf tour.

Nvidia has a number of business units that do different things, making different products, services, and solutions targeted at different audiences. Some are consumer facing like this one or a GeForce Game Ready driver release. Others are more interesting to CTOs, corporate IT managers, etc.

Others are more interesting to developers. But developers aren't just one type doing one thing. There are game developers. There are those writing software like Autodesk Maya. There are programmers for generative AI. There are people working on autonomous vehicles.

That's why posts are not dropped into some big Nvidia stew. We already have enough problems here getting people to stick with ONE topic if you haven't noticed by now.

Sure, it would be easier for a TPU staffer to just cut-and-paste ten press releases, hit Publish, and go out for beers. I'm sure that will solve everything.

Fortunately, the TPU staffers are competent enough to put descriptive titles in the subject line. If it says "Nvidia" the article is going be somehow related to Nvidia. If you want to read about Lian-Li, go find a post that includes "Lian-Li" in the title.

No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to read any news item on this site. When I'm on Yahoo Sports, I don't read articles about hockey. I know some people are thrilled to get news about the NHL and that's wonderful that they have a passion. Just not me. But I'm not going to whine at Yahoo Sports and tell them to put all the NHL articles under one post.

That's obvious to most poeple, but hey let them try anyway and waste a colossal amount of money?
