Gaming has definitely entered the era of ray tracing. A cutting-edge technology in which Nvidia was one of the pioneers with its RTX. As always, the graphics card giant has also launched a whole range of in-house technologies to make RTX usable on most platforms. If we add to this the firepower of ASUS components, we get the ultimate combination to run all current games in the best possible conditions.
Modern gaming requires cutting-edge technology to transform every session into an immersive experience. NVIDIA and ROG (Republic of Gamers) from ASUS understand this well. For several years now, on a beautiful day in November 2018, NVIDIA has been launching its own ray tracing technology with great fanfare with Battlefield 5: RTX, which is quickly establishing itself as a real revolution for PC gaming. Especially because it also gave us the right to a whole range of new technologies to support the integration while constantly improving your games to make them… amazing!
Revolutionary technologies made in NVIDIA
The most famous of these is undoubtedly Full Ray Tracing (RTX), which represents the quintessence of light simulation and offers unprecedented realism in games. In fact, Full Ray Tracing simulates the behavior of light in a virtual environment extremely precisely and realistically. It calculates the path of each light ray, allowing you to create scenes with precise shadows, realistic reflections and complex refractions, giving games unprecedented depth and realism. So much so that it can turn old gems like Portal (released in 2007, anyway) into real slaps with Portal RTX. Conclusion: A real facelift. Cyberpunk 2077 is certainly one of the most prominent examples among AAA games that use RTX. With this technology activated, every walk through Night City is a slap in the face.
But a nicer game often means a more challenging game. This is where DLSS 3.5 comes into play. Another proprietary technology from NVIDIA, it uses artificial intelligence to improve image quality while optimizing gaming performance. By generating additional pixels and improving image sharpness, DLSS 3.5 allows gamers to enjoy more beautiful graphics without sacrificing the smoothness of the gaming experience, even in the most demanding scenes. Pretty good, right? A glaring example is Alan Wake 2, which uses both technologies (RTX and DLSS 3.5) and can therefore significantly increase the frame rate. It’s simple: DLSS allows you to go from an average of 30 FPS to literally 100 FPS when running both technologies. The power of the AI is almost magical and the lights are magnificent…
Our games have recently also been able to benefit from NVIDIA DLAA. A major advancement in anti-aliasing technology that uses AI to eliminate jagged effects on the edges of objects in games. Based on the same technology as DLSS, DLAA significantly improves image sharpness, making game scenes sharper and more detailed even at high native resolutions. Finally, NVIDIA REFLEX reduces system latency, enabling faster response to player-inputted commands. This technology is crucial for competitive gaming where every millisecond counts. By minimizing the delay between player action and on-screen reaction, NVIDIA REFLEX significantly improves the responsiveness of games and gives gamers a competitive advantage. Especially perfect for FPS, but not only.
