Game Ready For F1 22 And Its RTX Tech
F1Ⓡ 22 from Codemasters and Electronic Arts launches today for Champions Edition buyers, with the general release following on July 1st.
If you own a GeForce RTX graphics card, desktop, or laptop, you can get the definitive F1Ⓡ 22 experience thanks to the addition of NVIDIA DLSS and four high-fidelity ray tracing effects.
NVIDIA DLSS is our groundbreaking AI rendering technology that’s available in over 180 games, increasing graphics performance using dedicated Tensor Core AI processors on GeForce RTX GPUs. By tapping into the power of a deep learning neural network, we boost frame rates significantly, and generate beautiful, sharp images for your games.
With the performance provided by NVIDIA DLSS, GeForce RTX gamers will have the headroom to enable F1Ⓡ 22’s immersive ray-traced effects, which add high-fidelity opaque reflections, transparent reflections, ambient occlusion, and shadows. See the perfectly-buffed race cars of Formula 1® with pixel-perfect reflections, wander the paddock with realistic reflections on its many glass facades, race through a world with accurate occlusion shadows, and see everything shadowed with unparalleled detail. See ray tracing and DLSS in action in our new 4K comparison video:
At 4K, with max settings and every ray-traced effect enabled, NVIDIA DLSS accelerates performance with the power of a 1000 horsepower F1Ⓡ car, boosting frame rates by over 2X enabling users with GeForce RTX 3060 Tis, or higher, to charge through the pack in each race at 60 FPS or higher.
If you’re racing off to EA Play, Origin, or Steam to play F1Ⓡ 22, be sure to download and install our new F1Ⓡ 22 Game Ready Driver, which will optimize your GeForce RTX PC or laptop for peak performance.
Game Ready For New Game Launches
Game Ready Drivers include optimizations, enhancements, and more, to support the latest releases and newest title updates. This week, we’ve got launch support for additional titles, giving players the best possible experience when gaming on GeForce RTX graphics cards, desktops and laptops:
- Loopmancer: Playing as a detective in this roguelite-platformer action game, you’re caught in a death-loop and you’ll need to find answers as to why you wake back up in your apartment in Dragon City, in the year 2046, each time you die.
Using freely-available Unreal Engine 4 features, plugins and SDKs, eBrain Studio has rapidly and easily added NVIDIA DLSS and ray-traced reflections to Loopmancer, giving GeForce RTX gamers the best possible experience when it launches on July 13th. - Monster Hunter Rise & Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak: The Monster Hunter franchise needs little introduction, having entertained gamers with its unique blend of action, role-playing and big monster hunting since 2004. The latest mainline title, Monster Hunter Rise, receives the massive new Sunbreak expansion and game update on June 30th.
Over 250 games and applications already support RTX technologies, and adoption of RTX is getting ever-faster, so if you want the speediest performance, the smoothest gameplay, and the highest-fidelity ray-traced effects, ensure your system is powered by GeForce RTX, and optimized with the latest Game Ready Driver.
