Diablo IV & More Turn NVIDIA Reflex On For More Responsive Gameplay

By Andrew Burnes on May 28, 2023 | Featured Stories Computex GeForce RTX GPUs NVIDIA Reflex

NVIDIA Reflex is a must-have in games, reducing system latency so your actions occur quicker, giving you a competitive edge in multiplayer matches, and making single-player titles more responsive and enjoyable. NVIDIA Reflex is now used by over 50 million players each month, is available in 9 of the top 10 competitive shooters, including the Counter-Strike 2 beta, and is activated by 90% of GeForce gamers in 70+ supported titles.

 

Recent recipients of Reflex include Redfall, Returnal, and The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™. Next month, Reflex will be available at launch in Diablo IV, and is coming to Metal: Hellsinger by way of a game update.

NVIDIA Reflex also encompasses optimized mice and monitors, which contribute to your overall system latency. By working with manufacturers we have built reporting capabilities into products, enabling GeForce gamers to measure their end-to-end system latency, seeing where their system may be holding them back.

Today, we are launching NVIDIA G-SYNC Ultra Low Motion Blur 2 (ULMB 2). ULMB 2 delivers full refresh rate backlight strobing, nearly 2x higher brightness than the original ULMB, and nearly eliminates crosstalk. Together, these deliver incredible motion clarity for competitive gamers, helping them identify, track and target threats with greater ease, further increasing their competitiveness.

Additionally, four new GIGABYTE AORUS mice have added support for Reflex, along with a new LG UltraGear gaming monitor.

Diablo IV Launches June 6th With Reflex & DLSS 3

The demon Lilith and the angel Inarius united to create the world of Sanctuary in their desire to escape the Eternal Conflict between the High Heavens and Burning Hells. But now, decades after the events of Diablo® III: Reaper of Souls®, they are bitter enemies who have resorted to war against each other with their respective followers. The lands of Sanctuary have become plagued with ceaseless demons, and only the most steadfast of heroes will be able to hold strong in the face of darkness in Diablo® IV.

 

On June 6th, Diablo® IV launches on Battle.net, boasting support for NVIDIA Reflex and NVIDIA DLSS 3, giving GeForce RTX gamers a superior experience. Using Reflex, system latency is reduced by up to 67%, helping you vanquish the forces of evil, and providing you the ultimate experience against foes at the hardest difficulties and in Hardcore mode. And with DLSS 3, desktop performance is multiplied by an average of 2.5X at 4K, and by an average of 1.8X on GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops at 1440p.

To celebrate Diablo IV’s release, NVIDIA and Blizzard have launched the Diablo IV GeForce RTX 40 Series Bundle, available now until June 13th. Buyers of eligible GeForce RTX 4070, 4070 Ti, 4080 and 4090 graphics cards and desktop PCs from select retailers and etailers will receive a Battle.net copy of Diablo IV.

New Overwatch 2 Slow Motion Video Exemplifies The Benefits Of High Refresh Rate 1440p Gaming

High refresh rate gaming on a high refresh rate 1440p monitor gives you several advantages against opponents on lower refresh rate displays. Namely:

  • Improved clarity from a reduction in blurring
  • Enemies will be seen sooner, enabling you to target and attack them sooner
  • Enemy character models will update more smoothly and frequently on your display, enabling easier and more precise attacks while they’re moving
