Game Ready For EA SPORTSTM F1 24, Featuring DLSS 3, DLAA, Reflex & Ray Tracing

Race as one of the 20 real-life drivers in EA SPORTSTM F1 24, the official video game of the 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship™. Unleash your champion in pursuit of a legacy-defining F1® Career, the mode’s first major update since 2016. Drive like the greatest and feel at one with the car through the all-new EA SPORTS Dynamic Handling System, and experience the best F1 racing to date thanks to all of the game’s new additions and enhancements.

 

F1® 24 is available from May 28th for players of the Champions Edition and EA Play Pro subscribers, with the general release following on May 31st. When GeForce RTX gamers take to the track, they’ll discover day-one support for a massive range of experience-enhancing technology.

DLSS Super Resolution enables all GeForce RTX users to accelerate frame rates, DLSS 3’s Frame Generation technology gives GeForce RTX 40 Series users the power of frame rate multiplication for the fastest performance possible, and DLAA allows gamers with high-performing systems to use a native resolution image to maximize image quality. And you can combine DLAA and DLSS Frame Generation for excellent image quality and performance, for super fast, super detailed racing.

Additionally, GeForce gamers can activate NVIDIA Reflex in F1® 24. This game-changing technology reduces system latency on GeForce graphics cards and laptops so your actions occur quicker, giving you a competitive edge in multiplayer races, and making single-player races more responsive and enjoyable. 

Since its debut in September 2020, NVIDIA Reflex has reduced system latency in over 100 games, and over 90% of GeForce gamers have enabled Reflex. 9 of the top 10 competitive shooters feature Reflex support, along with critically acclaimed co-op and single-player games. In 2023 alone, GeForce gamers played over 10 billion hours of their favorite titles with increased responsiveness thanks to Reflex’s innovative system latency reducing technology.

 

GeForce RTX gamers can also leverage the power of their GPU’s dedicated Ray Tracing Cores to get the highest possible frame rates when activating F1® 24’s ray-traced effects. Ray-Traced Reflections enhance the realism and fidelity of cars, glass, water and other suitably reflective surfaces. Ray-traced shadows enable every winglet and flourish on an F1® car to be accurately shadowed and self-shadowed, further heightening realism and immersion. And the new Ray-Traced Dynamic Diffuse Global Illumination setting takes trackside lighting to the next level, and enhances the quality of ray-traced reflections and shadows.

Activating all three ray-traced effects tests the mettle of any system, but with DLSS you can race with both excellent frame rates and incredible image quality.

Game Ready For Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, Featuring DLSS 3 & Reflex

In the sequel to the award winning Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Senua returns for a brutal journey of survival through the myth and torment of Viking Iceland. Intent on saving those who have fallen victim to the horrors of tyranny, Senua faces a battle of overcoming the darkness within and without. Sink deep into the next chapter of Senua’s story, a crafted experience told through cinematic immersion, beautifully realized visuals and encapsulating sound.

 

Launching today, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II from Ninja Theory and Xbox Game Studios features day-one support for both DLSS and Reflex, giving GeForce RTX gamers the definitive experience. DLSS 2 enables all GeForce RTX users to accelerate frame rates, and DLSS 3 gives GeForce RTX 40 Series users the power of frame rate multiplication for the fastest performance possible in this stunning Unreal Engine 5 game.

With DLSS 3 activated, Frame Generation multiplies performance by 3X on average at 4K, with every Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II setting maxed out. GeForce RTX 4070 gamers can comfortably play at over 60 FPS, and frame rates only get faster as you progress up the stack of ever-faster GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards, culminating in nearly 150 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4090.

At 2560x1440, a 2.3X average boost to performance ensures users of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and up can enjoy a maxed out experience:

And at 1920x1080, an average 2.1X acceleration of frame rates enables every GeForce RTX 40 Series desktop GPU owner to play at over 60 FPS with maxed settings, and at up to 210 frames per second with the fastest hardware available:

On GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops, a 2.1X average boost to performance enables owners of many models to enjoy Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II with maxed out settings:

And at 2560x1440, a 2.3X average increase to performance enables max setting gameplay at up to 110 frames per second in thin and light GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops:

Additionally, GeForce gamers can activate NVIDIA Reflex in Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. This game changing technology reduces system latency on GeForce graphics cards and laptops so your actions occur quicker, giving you a competitive edge in multiplayer matches, and making single-player titles more responsive and enjoyable.

In Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, enabling Reflex with a few clicks sees system latency reduced by up to 57%, further improving the PC experience for GeForce gamers.

Since its debut in September 2020, NVIDIA Reflex has reduced system latency in over 100 games, and over 90% of GeForce gamers have enabled Reflex. 9 of the top 10 competitive shooters feature Reflex support, along with critically acclaimed co-op and single-player games. In 2023 alone, GeForce gamers played over 10 billion hours of their favorite titles with increased responsiveness thanks to Reflex’s innovative system latency reducing technology.

 

Game Ready For Serum, Featuring DLSS 3, DLAA & Reflex

With a thrilling narrative that drives the player forward under the pressure of time, Game Island and Toplitz Productions’ Serum will put players to the ultimate test as they seek out ways of surviving a brutal world and uncovering a deadly conspiracy. The titular Serum is the essential elixir that can prolong life in the game’s contaminated landscape, and amplify abilities associated with speed, sight and power.

Not only will players need to carefully manage their found resources as they explore the world, but they will also need to keep an eye on the passage of time as it continually ebbs away, lest they perish from a lack of Serum. Serum’s unique time mechanic, coupled with its crafting and serum brewing system, paves the way for experimentation and discovery as players harness the serum’s potent abilities across different locations. This is all driven by an exciting narrative of conspiracy, cover-up, and scientific negligence.

 

Entering Early Access on May 23rd, Serum features day-one support for DLSS, DLAA, and Reflex, giving GeForce RTX gamers the definitive experience. DLSS 2 enables all GeForce RTX users to accelerate frame rates, DLSS 3 gives GeForce RTX 40 Series users the power of frame rate multiplication for the fastest performance possible, and DLAA uses a native resolution image to maximize image quality, rather than boosting performance. You can even combine DLAA and DLSS Frame Generation for excellent image quality, and performance.

Using DLSS 3, GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers can multiply performance by an average of 2.6X at 4K, with every setting maxed out, for gameplay that runs up to 130 FPS:

At 2560x1440, a 2.2X multiplier ensures all GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers can play Serum with maxed out settings at over 60 frames per second. On faster GPUs, performance surpasses 120 FPS, and hits 160 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4090, the fastest gaming graphics card available:

And by enabling NVIDIA Reflex, players will decrease system latency by up to 48%, making gameplay in Serum even more responsive.
