Developed by 24 Entertainment and published by NetEase Games Global, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is a 60-player melee-focused Battle Royale in where players can experience a unique fighting gameplay, combining fast movements in a large environment and a deep and intense melee combat system based on combos, parries, and counters.

Each week, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is one of the top 10 most played games on Steam. Having previously given all GeForce RTX gamers access to DLSS 2 and Reflex, 24 Entertainment is now upgrading to DLSS 3.

Fatshark’s enormously-popular co-op action game, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, is introducing support for DLSS 3 on October 19th! Warhammer 40,000: Darktide launched with DLSS 3, and now our game-changing, performance multiplying AI-powered technology is coming to their critically acclaimed Warhammer Fantasy Battles melee-focused game.

RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR), launched at CES earlier this year, uses AI to enhance streaming video by removing compression artifacts, and sharpening edges when upscaling.

Our new version 1.5 update, included in today’s Game Ready Driver, further improves the quality of RTX VSR, increasing the level of detail and preserving image details during the upscaling process for a sharper and crisper image overall. Plus, with expanded RTX VSR support, owners of GeForce RTX 20 Series GPUs can benefit from the same AI-enhanced video as those on GeForce RTX 30 and 40 Series GPUs.

RTX Video Super Resolution 1.5 improves detail and sharpness compared to 1.0

RTX Video Super Resolution can now also enhance video when played back at native resolution. This means that you can enjoy the benefits of RTX VSR even on a 1080p display when watching 1080p streams. In these instances, RTX VSR will remove distracting compression artifacts and enhance the image.

RTX VSR 1.5 now de-artifacts video played at native resolution

To enable RTX Video Super Resolution on your GeForce RTX PC and laptops, open the NVIDIA control panel and under “Adjust Video Settings”, enable “Super resolution”.

Users can specify quality levels between 1 (lowest) to 4 (highest). Higher quality levels will result in sharper images and improved artifact reduction. Higher quality levels require additional GPU resources, so if users need more horsepower to run creative apps or games while playing video, the quality level can be adjusted. All GeForce RTX GPUs are able to comfortably upscale using quality level 1, and xx70 class or higher are able to play most content at quality level 4.

One of the most common ways to use Stable Diffusion, the popular Generative AI tool that allows users to produce images from simple text descriptions, is through the Stable Diffusion Web UI by Automatic1111. In today’s Game Ready Driver, we’ve added TensorRT acceleration for Stable Diffusion Web UI, which boosts GeForce RTX performance by up to 2X. 

Image generation: Stable Diffusion 1.5, 512 x 512, batch size 1, Stable Diffusion Web UI from Automatic1111 (for NVIDIA) and Mochi (for Apple).
Hardware: GeForce RTX 4090 with Intel i9 12900K; Apple M2 Ultra with 76 cores

This enhancement makes generating AI images faster than ever before, giving users the ability to iterate and save time.
