NVIDIA Ansel e Highlights Chegarão ao Battlefield V, Metro: Exodus, Hitman 2, Assetto Corsa Competizione e Muitos Outros Games

GeForce Experience is the essential companion to your GeForce Graphics card, giving you tools that enhance your gaming experience and new ways to interact with your favorite titles. In the past, we’ve introduced great new features such as NVIDIA Ansel, Freestyle, Highlights. And now, we’re introducing Ansel RTX, which leverages the ray tracing and deep learning capabilities of our new GeForce RTX GPUs to create ultra-quality in-game photos.

For all the details, and to hear about new games adding Ansel and Highlights, read on.

Ansel RT: Take Ultra-Quality Ray Traced Photos

GeForce RTX graphics cards feature dedicated ray-tracing processors called RT Cores, which accelerate and deliver real-time ray tracing for games. Ansel RTX’s newest feature, Ansel RT, uses that tech to create ray traced Ansel photos with the highest-possible fidelity.

Here’s how it works: when you’re in Ansel mode in a supported ray-traced game and fly around using your free camera, the game engine uses your in-game graphics settings. The moment you pause movement, Ansel RT quickly cranks up the level of ray-tracing for the best possible in-game photo.

In Assetto Corsa Competizione, invoking Ansel RT dramatically increases the number of rays cast into a scene, increasing refractions per pixel by 10X, Ambient Occlusion samples by 12X, shadow samples by 32X, and reflection samples by 40X.

For an example of how this helps improve the quality of your captures, take a look below:

Activate Ansel Photo Mode In Almost Any Game

With Ansel RTX, we are expanding Ansel features to games that have not integrated the Ansel SDK. You’ll be able to snap screenshots, apply stackable filters, save in HDR, or take them in Super Resolution for hundreds of games.

AI Up-Res: Take 8K Screenshots Using AI

GeForce RTX graphics cards feature Tensor Cores, processors that power and accelerate AI features for gaming. Ansel RTX’s new feature, AI Up-Res, uses these Tensor Cores to apply AI-enhanced resolution scaling so you can save your NVIDIA Ansel in-game photos at up to 8K resolution.

Here’s how it works: use your GeForce RTX graphics card to activate Ansel, and select AI Up-Res under Super Resolution. When you hit capture, AI Up-Res will then take a 1X resolution screenshot, and with the help of AI image enhancements, intelligently up-res the photo to 8K with more detail than the original image.

Over 200 games support AI Up-Res, and more are added to our Supported Games list each month, so when AI Up-Res is released check to see which of your favorite games can benefit.

New Filters For Further Customization

We’re introducing three new filters for Ansel and Freestyle that’ll allow you to further customize your screenshots and in-game photos. Here’s a demo showing the fun possibilities of “Green Screen”, “Sticker” and “Letterbox”:

Starting with an in-game moment, we open Ansel to pause the action

By applying and customizing the Green Screen filter we remove the background

In the Green Screen filter we then select a new background for Agent 47

Next, we add Agent 47’s stealthy friend, who’s sporting the same sunglasses

Finally, we add a cinematic feel to the shot with the configurable Letterbox filter

These filters will be released right after Gamescom in our upcoming Game Ready driver, so stay tuned to GeForce.com and GeForce Experience’s Drivers tab.
