HITMAN III: HITMAN III Year 2 starts on January 20, 2022! Jump into new maps, storylines, and modes with the latest Game Ready Driver for the best possible experience.

The Anacrusis: Your starship has hit a snag at the edge of explored space; the first sentient extraterrestrials that humanity’s discovered want to tear you asunder. Four humans survive first contact, and must now fight back the hordes in The Anacrusis, a four-player, co-op first-person shooter designed by Stray Bombay.

If you play on a GeForce RTX GPU, PC or laptop, your battles against the alien menace can be accelerated using NVIDIA DLSS, which you can get a first look at in our NVIDIA DLSS The Anacrusis gameplay video:

Monster Hunter Rise: With over 7.5 million copies sold so far, Capcom’s Monster Hunter Rise is the ultimate action role-playing game. Explore new maps, monsters, and new hunting actions in this new storyline from the Monster Hunter franchise.

Our latest Game Ready Driver adds DLDSR (Deep Learning Dynamic Super Resolution), an AI-powered enhancement of NVIDIA DSR, which renders a game at higher, more detailed resolution before intelligently shrinking the result back down to the resolution of your monitor. This downsampling method improves image quality by enhancing detail, smoothing edges, and reducing shimmering.

DLDSR improves upon DSR by adding an AI network that requires fewer input pixels, making the image quality of DLDSR 2.25X comparable to that of DSR 4X, but with higher performance. DLDSR works in most games on GeForce RTX GPUs, thanks to their Tensor Cores. 

Check out the improvement in performance vs. the original below.  

To enable DLDSR, open the NVIDIA Control Panel, and navigate to Manage 3D Settings > DSR Factors, and select DLDSR. 

We've worked with the modding community and teamed up with Pascal Gilcher, a popular ReShade Author, to release three advanced, depth-based Freestyle filters, SSAO, Dynamic DOF, and SSRTGI, a modified version of his popular "Ray Tracing ReShade Filter". These depth-based filters are accessible by pressing Alt+F3 during gameplay when GeForce Experience’s in-game overlay is enabled in the app’s settings menu.

• SSRTGI (Screen Space Ray Traced Global Illumination), commonly known as the “Ray Tracing ReShade Filter” enhances lighting and shadows of your favorite titles to create a greater sense of depth and realism.
• SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion) emphasizes the appearance of shadows near the intersections of 3D objects, especially within dimly lit/indoor environments.
• Dynamic DOF (Depth of Field) applies bokeh-style blur based on the proximity of objects within the scene giving your game a more cinematic suspenseful feel.

With DLDSR and SSRTGI combined, you can enjoy a remastered experience in classic games like Prey.
