Not solely do you get DLSS 2 upscaling for older GeForce RTX GPUs, however you additionally get DLSS 3 with Frame Generation for RTX 40 collection graphics playing cards. This will permit anybody with an RTX 4060 or as much as choose Frame Generation and get a major body charge increase, at the price of some added latency. In my private expertise taking part in the sport with a mouse and keyboard on a 144Hz show at QHD with an RTX 4080, the latency achieve is just not notably noticeable. Previous bother spots like Akila’s metropolis centre, now run a lot smoother with body charges effectively above 100FPS with Ultra settings and DLSS set to Quality mode.
While DLSS assist is the headlining characteristic, this patch additionally makes loads of different modifications. For occasion, there are a selection of bug fixes, and extra optimisations have been made which as DigitalFoundry factors out, carry a very noticeable increase for Nvidia GPUs, which have been performing uncharacteristically worse than their Radeon counterparts. Bug fixes and different characteristic enhancements are additionally heading to the Xbox model of the sport, aside from Nvidia-specific options like DLSS and Reflex.
