Game Ready For The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti & GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, our new gaming flagship, is out now. Whatever the game, whatever the task, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers ultra performance. In rasterized and ray-traced games, performance is 1.5X faster, and when you’re rendering in Blender, V-Ray and other applications, performance is up to 2X faster than last gen.

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti turbocharges the GeForce RTX 3070, our most popular NVIDIA Ampere Architecture graphics card. It boosts performance with more CUDA Cores and our super speed GDDR6X memory, delivering a 1.5X performance improvement versus the previous-gen GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, and a 2X improvement over the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.

For further details, head over to the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti product page, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti product page, and our announcement article. And be sure to install our new driver to enable full support for their numerous experience-enhancing features.

Game Ready For New NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex Integrations

We’re continuously working to bring new implementations of our experience-enhancing technologies to games, and with our new Game Ready driver you’ll receive support for NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex in a new batch of titles.

No Man’s Sky: Hello Games’ popular game has been updated with NVIDIA DLSS, bringing the performance-accelerating technology to both desktop and virtual reality users. In VR, DLSS doubles performance at the Ultra graphics preset, maintaining 90 FPS on an Oculus Quest 2 with a GeForce RTX 3080.

Get the full lowdown in our announcement article.

The Persistence: On June 11th, Firesprite’s first-person sci-fi horror shooter roguelike is receiving a free “Enhanced” update that introduces real-time ray-traced reflections, shadows and global illumination, and NVIDIA DLSS to enhance performance. It also adds DLSS support to the VR version of the game.

Escape From Tarkov: NVIDIA Reflex is coming soon to the high-stakes first-person shooter, making players more competitive by reducing system latency. Learn more in our announcement article, and check in the near future for further details.

War Thunder: Having already introduced NVIDIA DLSS support, the free to play military multiplayer action game has added NVIDIA Reflex. When enabled, system latency is reduced by up to 43%, perceivably improving responsiveness. For more info and our system latency performance chart, check out our NVIDIA Reflex Computex 2021 article.

Over 130 games and applications already include ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and RTX AI technologies, and nearly 20 games feature NVIDIA Reflex support. To discover which games are adding these features next, stay tuned to GeForce.com.

Game Ready For CrossFire HD, Chivalry 2 and Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

Our new Game Ready Driver includes optimizations and enhancements for the newest releases. This time round, we’re supporting:

  • CrossFire HD: Tencent Games’ CrossFire franchise is one of the most popular multiplayer first-person shooters on the planet, with an especially large following in South Korea and China. CrossFire HD is the newest version of the game, bringing remastered graphics and updated gameplay to the title’s 560 million-plus registered gamers. This week, CrossFire HD exits beta for its official launch, and in the future Tencent will bring NVIDIA Reflex to the game.
  • Chivalry 2: The super fun Chivalry 2, a multiplayer medieval PvP action game, launched earlier this month. Take up swords, shields, battle axes, and other weaponry, and best foes in team death matches, objective modes, and 1v1 duels.
