## THE FINALS Is Out Now & Plays Best On GeForce RTX

Embark Studios’ [*THE FINALS*](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2073850/THE_FINALS/) is a free-to-play shooter set in a highly destructive world, making each match unique. Players form teams of three and enter tournaments that see the lowest-ranked teams dropped, concluding with a one-on-one grand finale for the title of champion. The goal is to collect, carry, and bank boxes of cash - the team with the most cash at the end of the round wins. But team wipes and steals see the pendulum of success swing widely from moment to moment, putting contestants on the edges of their seats each and every match.

Yesterday evening at The Game Awards, *THE FINALS* was launched on Steam in a surprise announcement, giving gamers instant access to environments that can be blown apart by explosives and an arsenal of weapons. As buildings are blown open, and walls come crashing down, the world’s lighting needs to react realistically as light is occluded or disoccluded. To make this a reality, [NVIDIA RTXGI](https://developer.nvidia.com/rtx/ray-tracing/rtxgi) is used to accurately calculate and update light and shadow in real-time on all platforms.

With a GeForce RTX GPU in your PC or laptop, RTXGI can leverage hardware-accelerated ray tracing to produce richer and more realistic global illumination effects. When enabled, you’ll experience light realistically bouncing around the environment, reacting to destruction, and interacting with volumetric fog and smoke. And light and shadow will look even better.

To ensure frame rates stay high in this fast-paced shooter, GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers can activate NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation, and all other GeForce RTX players can enable DLSS 2 Super Resolution.

Using DLSS 3, performance multiplies, with ray tracing and all other settings maxed out. To make gameplay even more responsive in *THE FINALS*, all GeForce gamers with GPUs dating back to the GTX 900 Series can enable NVIDIA Reflex, which reduces system latency by up to 57%.

With Reflex, DLSS, and hardware-accelerated ray tracing, GeForce RTX gamers will receive the definitive experience in *THE FINALS*. See for yourself in our new frag video, leveraging all three technologies to deliver the best gameplay possible:

[Download *THE FINALS* on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2073850/THE_FINALS/), and [install our new Game Ready Driver](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/game-ready-driver-cp2077-ultimate-edition-codmw3-season-1.md) to further optimize gameplay.

## **Call of Duty: Warzone Adds DLSS 3, Modern Warfare III Pre-Game Full Ray Tracing; Reflex Supported In All Modes**

On December 6th, Season 1 for *Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® III* and *Call of Duty®: Warzone™* went live. [Tons of new in-game content was introduced](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-season-1-warzone-dlss-3.md), *Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III* and *Warzone* lobbies added full ray tracing to enhance the appearance of your loadout, characters and vehicles, and *Call of Duty: Warzone* added support for DLSS 3, following its addition to all other modes and campaigns.

In [*Call of Duty: Warzone*](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1962663/Call_of_Duty_Warzone/), the free-to-play massive combat arena title, players can now deploy to Urzikstan, the game’s newest big map, which is sure to excite veterans and newcomers alike. This high-density urban layout has exciting points of interest, and players can move through this city landscape with the return of slide cancel, as well as more responsive movement allowing for faster-paced play. With exhilarating new features such as the Drivable Train, Horizontal Ziplines, new Gulag map, and gameplay features, it’s time to call up the squad and drop in.

For GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers, Season 1 sees the debut of [NVIDIA DLSS 3](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/dlss.md) in [*Call of Duty: Warzone*](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1962663/Call_of_Duty_Warzone/), multiplying performance. GeForce RTX 20 Series and 30 Series gamers can boost performance with DLSS 2 Super Resolution.

And if performance is high enough already in your opinion, you can instead enable NVIDIA DLAA, an AI-based anti-aliasing mode that utilizes the same technology developed for DLSS. DLAA uses a native resolution image to maximize image quality, rather than boosting performance, for an even richer, more detailed experience.

Additionally, all GeForce gamers, dating back to users of the GeForce GTX 900 Series, can activate NVIDIA Reflex.

In *Call of Duty: Warzone*, NVIDIA Reflex reduces system latency by up to 28%, and combined with the super fast frame rates delivered by DLSS, you can let your skill shine when competing on the battlefields of Urzikstan, Ashika Island and Vondel.

With the release of Season 1 for *Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III* and *Call of Duty: Warzone*, NVIDIA DLSS 3, NVIDIA DLSS 2, NVIDIA DLAA, NVIDIA Reflex, and NVIDIA Image Scaling are now supported in all modes, as well in every *Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II* mode, giving GeForce RTX gamers the definitive PC experience.

Additionally, pre-game full ray tracing has been added to *Modern Warfare III* and *Warzone* lobbies, and the Firing Range, enabling you to view your operators and loadouts in an entirely new light. All GeForce RTX gamers can activate full ray tracing via the Video options menu, and doing so will automatically enable NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with [DLSS Ray Reconstruction](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/nvidia-dlss-3-5-ray-reconstruction.md). Ray Reconstruction replaces hand-tuned ray tracing denoisers with a new unified AI model, elevating the image quality of ray-traced effects and full ray tracing to new heights, further enhancing detail, realism and immersion.

## Fortnite Chapter 5 Now Available, New Fortnite Experiences, Each Enhanced By Reflex, DLSS 2, & Ray Tracing

[*Fortnite*](https://www.fortnite.com/?lang=en-US)’s Unreal Engine 5 upgrade brought astonishing new visuals to the world’s most popular Battle Royale. On GeForce RTX PCs and laptops, *Fortnite* players can boost performance using DLSS 2, gameplay is even more responsive thanks to system latency reducing NVIDIA Reflex, and ray tracing performance is accelerated significantly using the dedicated RT Cores on each GeForce RTX GPU.

[Chapter 5 of *Fortnite* Battle Royale](https://www.fortnite.com/news/join-the-fight-in-fortnite-battle-royale-chapter-5-season-1-underground) brings a beautiful new Island, but not all is what it seems. “The Society” is pulling the strings in secret, and they’ve taken Peely in their spite.

## RoboCop: Rogue City Is Ready For Duty, Packing Reflex, DLSS 3 & DLAA

The city of Detroit has been hit by a series of crimes, and a new enemy is threatening the public order. Embody RoboCop in an all-new investigation that leads you right into the heart of a shadowy project that takes place between the *RoboCop 2* and *3* movies. Explore iconic locations and meet familiar faces from the world of *RoboCop*, with voice work by Peter Weller, the original *RoboCop* who’s returned to duty in [*RoboCop: Rogue City*](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1681430/RoboCop_Rogue_City/).

GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers can activate DLSS 3 Frame Generation in this Unreal Engine 5-powered shooter, all other GeForce RTX players can enable DLSS 2 Super Resolution, and players with performance to spare can max out image quality with DLAA.

On GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards, DLSS 3 multiplies performance by an average of 2.6X at 4K, enabling players with the GeForce RTX 4070 through 4090 to play at over 60 FPS, and up to 170 FPS, with every option cranked to the max. And by activating NVIDIA Reflex, system latency is reduced by up to 52%, further improving the responsiveness of gunplay.

## Diablo IV: Season of Blood Is Enhanced By Reflex

GeForce gamers can improve responsiveness in *Diablo® IV* by enabling [NVIDIA Reflex](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/reflex.md)*.* In the game’s latest season, *Season of Blood*, system latency is reduced by up to 55%—and GeForce gamers can now measure their PC Latency in *Diablo IV* using GeForce Experience’s Performance Overlay or FrameView.

Load your system with a GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU and you can play [at up to 390 FPS thanks to DLSS 3](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/diablo-iv-dlss-3-reflex-rtx.md) - together with Reflex’s improvements, you’ll have the definitive *Diablo IV* experience.

## Counter-Strike 2 Available Now For All, Featuring NVIDIA Reflex

In case you missed the news, [*Counter-Strike 2*](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/campaigns/frames-win-games/counter-strike-2.md) has been officially released, and we’ve worked closely with Valve to integrate NVIDIA Reflex for reduced system latency. If you’ve got a GeForce GTX 900 Series or newer GPU, you can reduce system latency by up to 35% by simply enabling NVIDIA Reflex. See for yourself in our *Counter-Strike 2* frag video, where frame rates exceed 400 FPS, and latency is as low as 5.5 milliseconds:

Coupled with a GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU, gamers can hit sub 15 ms latency, which is why *Counter-Strike 2* GeForce gamers have overwhelmingly adopted Reflex, with over 90% of them playing with Reflex enabled.

Activating Reflex lowers system latency, allowing you to acquire targets faster, react more quickly, and increase aim precision in *Counter-Strike 2*. 3kliksphilip and Shroud recently tried it out for themselves - watch their videos to hear their thoughts on how Reflex helps deliver a superior experience:

## **Overwatch 2 Season 8: Call of the Hunt Available Now & Enhanced By Reflex**

NVIDIA Reflex enables GeForce gamers to play with minimal system latency in *Overwatch 2*’s highly competitive multiplayer matches. *Overwatch 2 Season 8: Call of the Hunt* launched earlier this week, and headlining the season is the introduction of Mauga, a powerful, brawling Tank Hero who will tear through the competition with his incendiary and volatile chainguns.

Mauga features a kit that is designed to bash through the front lines and brawl with his opponents in close-quarter combat, by wielding two powerful chainguns that can either be fired individually or in unison. Ignite enemies with his Incendiary Chaingun “Gunny” to burn them when they take enough damage, then finish them with a critical hit from his Volatile Chaingun “Cha-Cha.” Paired with his Berserker Passive ability, which grants Mauga temporary health whenever he deals critical damage, he’s a mountain on the battlefield.

Mauga’s not just a leading star—he also brings a host of new abilities to support his team as well. Mauga can break his way through the front lines with Overrun, a charging ability that cannot be stopped by any crowd control abilities, and stomps into opponents dealing a powerful knockback. When the fight gets intense for his team, he has Cardiac Overdrive to engage both of his hearts and create an aura that reduces incoming damage and allies to heal themselves while dealing damage.

Finally, when he really wants to tango up close with his foes, Mauga can unleash Cage Fight, his Ultimate ability. Cage Fight traps nearby opponents in a cylindrical fighting ring. This barrier blocks enemy incoming damage or healing from the outside, forcing those trapped inside to face Mauga with Gunny, Cha Cha, and a barrage of infinite ammunition. If you can’t take him down quickly, the last thing you might see is his charming smile.

Using NVIDIA Reflex on a GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU, your actions have improved responsiveness in *Overwatch 2* Season 8, occurring virtually without delay, and performance is so high that you’ll see the action at its best with maximum clarity.

Activate NVIDIA Reflex now and in all future seasons of *Overwatch 2* to give yourself the best chance of success.
