NVIDIA (CEO Jensen Huang), a leader in AI computing technology, unveiled the newly expanded NVIDIA Reflex ecosystem at CES 2023. Reflex has been further expanded with new supported games and 1440p 360Hz displays with Reflex Analyzer.
Nvidia Reflex reduces system latency to increase responsiveness. This improves competitiveness in multiplayer and responsiveness in singleplayer.
Nvidia Reflex now available in more games
NVIDIA Reflex supports over 50 games on the market, giving GeForce gamers the most responsive gaming experience on the platform with up to 50% lower system latency. Also, the highly anticipated Party Animals from Recreate Games and Source Technology is coming to NVIDIA Reflex. This allows players to compete with friends using fluffy animal characters like cats and dogs with better responsiveness.
Also, reflexes are supported in other hit games.
● Jurassic World Evolution 2: up to 28% reduction in system latency
● Portal with RTX: System latency reduced by up to 33%
● The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: system latency reduced by up to 43%
● Warhammer 40K: Darktide (Warhammer 40,000: Darktide): System latency reduced by up to 44%
You can reduce system latency by accessing video options in each title and enabling Nvidia Reflex. If you want even lower latency than this, select “On + Boost” to further reduce system latency by optimizing other parts of the system.
1440p, the new standard for competition
GeForce RTX 40-series GPUs support ultra-fast 1440p FPS gaming, providing the responsiveness and precision gamers demand. Gamers can enjoy 1440p gaming without sacrificing performance thanks to next-generation G-SYNC 1440p 360Hz with reflex display. Gaming at 1440p on the RTX 40 Series offers better image fidelity and motion sharpness without sacrificing playback speed or responsiveness.
At 1440p, you can enjoy competitive gaming at a much higher level than at 1080p.
Improved eSports image quality
The key to esports image quality is not simply lowering the resolution setting, but creating a clear image with minimal distractions. In a battle royale game like Apex Legends, 1080p has a lower resolution and smaller screen size, so it can be difficult to find distant targets. At 1080p, targets appear aliased or pixelated, making aiming difficult. By increasing the output resolution to 1440p, players can more easily identify and attack enemies with greater clarity and visibility.
More accurate aiming at 1440p
Earlier this year, scientists at Nvidia’s Esports Research lab studied the aiming performance of a 1080p 25″ versus a 1440p 27″ against small targets. As a result, aiming performance is improved by 3% at 1440p.
For a player, a 3% aim improvement can make a huge difference that could be the difference between winning and losing. You can see how significant this difference is when you consider that the difference in win rate between the highest win rate and lowest win rate of all agent characters in Valorant is approximately 4%.
Low latency equal to 1080p
GeForce RTX 40-series GPUs are often fast enough to hit the built-in FPS limits of competitive games, even at 1440p. In games like Overwatch 2, Rainbow Six Siege, and Valorant, the total end-to-end system latency of 1440p is equivalent to 1080p. As a result, gamers can enjoy 1440p image quality without the compromise of latency.
The display latency between 1440p and 1080p at 360Hz is the same. So, if your system can support high frame rates, you can enjoy 1440p at the same rate as 1080p.
Launch of the new 1440p 360Hz display
1440p 360Hz with eSports support has become the new standard for competitive gaming displays. This includes Nvidia Reflex, a dual-driver IPS panel, a basic G-sync module, eSports G-sync mode latency optimization, and an optional Ultra Low Motion Blur mode. The previously announced ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN has been released.
At CES, NVIDIA announced two new 1440p 360Hz eSports displays: the Acer Predator XB273U F and the upcoming AOC AGON PRO AG276QSG.
