NVIDIA Reflex Overwatch
Overwatch players who run NVIDIA graphics cards just got some good news today, as NVIDIA Reflex is now available for the game. For those who don’t know, this optimizes every aspect of the rendering pipeline for latency using a combination of SDKs and driver optimizations. For example, Multiplane Overlay allows for the GPU to composite the final image planes in hardware instead of the Desktop Windows Manager (DWM), thus allowing gamers to get low latency while playing in their preferred window mode. Read more for two videos and additional information.



To date, NVIDIA reported up to a 50-percent decrease in system latency with Reflex active in Overwatch, with the optical card being a mid-range GTX 1660 Super. Want to try it out yourself? Anyone with a 900 Series GPU and above can try out Reflex on the Overwatch PTR starting now. Just be sure to download the latest NVIDIA drivers before heading on over to the Display Options menu to activate Reflex Low Latency.
