Nvidia vrss and more game ready drivers: ces 2020

What's new in the Nvidia Game Ready 2020 controller

We start this article by summarizing the best that this new update brings, which is available from this January 6, 2020 on the official Nvidia page:

Adds a new Frame Rate maximum speed setting from the Nvidia control panel to help save power and reduce latency. The VRSS feature that uses Turing technology with variable speed shading to improve image quality in gaming Virtual Reality Adds support for 8 new G-SYNC compatible monitors, plus 12 Asus LG OLED TVs and 360Hz monitor. In this way we will have 90 screens with G-SYNC certification compatible.Freestyle split-screen filter that will allow us to show screenshots or videos in combination or parallel on the same monitor.Other sharpness filter for the image that allows us to enable scaling GPU without complementing image quality even at custom resolutions, which comes in handy for program or game rescaling. Support for Ray Tracing and DLSS in Wolfenstein Youngblood and Deliver Us The Moon games.

These drivers are now in their final WHQL certified version for all supported Windows systems and versions. Games will need their corresponding patch to update to RTX ON.

New Nvidia VRSS technology for GeForce Turing

Focusing on one more thing in this technology, VRSS (Variable Rate Super Sampling or Super variable speed sampling) is a technology that is implemented in the new GPUs of Turing architecture, which means that it is not in the Nvidia Pascal. With it what is achieved is to improve the image quality in virtual reality games mainly.

What this function does is to use Turing's Variable Shading Technology (VRS) to improve graphics in the central area of the image, where a virtual reality user would instinctively look through his HMD. This translates to variable shading speed, up to 8x faster in the center frame area while the sides maintain normal speed shading.

According to Nvidia, image quality improvements have been obtained in more than 24 games under DX11 VR, improving performance over Super Sampling to 4x. This way the FPS rate with vertical sync disabled goes up to 100 and 120 FPS in most VR titles with a RTX 2080 Ti at 1440p.

13 applications for RTX Studio

Likewise, the graphics card manufacturer has also announced 13 new applications for the RTX Studio ecosystem that will include RTX support for both desktops and laptops for content creators.

Among these applications now compatible with RTX technology we have:

Adobe DimensionAdobe Premiere ProAutodesk ArnoldAdobe Substance AlchemistBlenderChaos V-Ray

In them we can take full advantage of ray tracing in our creations and renderings. RTX Studio includes 3 months of free Adobe Creative Cloud from January 13, it is not much but at least it will serve to test the news that these packages bring. It will also be compatible with more than 50 RTX laptops and desktops from America, China and Europe.

Launch of the first 14 ”notebooks with RTX

And finally we will have Nvidia's RTX technology in the new GPUs integrated in 14-inch laptops, not necessarily for gamers. With this, the ultrabook market with a thickness of 20 mm or even less is expanded with 60 new models, and a total of 140 laptops with Turing architecture inside.

Once again Asus is the first manufacturer to have presented a team of these characteristics at CES 2020 with the name of Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. You will all know the renowned Zephyrus family of which we did not yet have 14 ”equipment, much less with RTX in its bottom. This specific model has an Nvidia RTX 2060 Max-Q in its hardware to combine power with Ray Tracing in this type of equipment.

For more news of these Game Ready controllers, the best thing you can do is download it now and investigate. Do you use virtual reality games with RTX?
