Game Ready For The ARC Raiders Headwinds Update

Having sold over 12 million copies since its launch at the end of October, ARC Raiders, Embark Studios’ PvPvE extraction adventure, needs little introduction. Today, the Headwinds Update adds even more content, and new gameplay twists.

Players especially confident in their PvP skills and have advanced to level 40 can matchmake against full squads in Solo vs. Squads. The ‘Bird City’ map condition on Buried City adds potentially valuable items to rooftop bird nests, drawing players together in search of shiny trinkets. 7 new quests give players new goals. And challenge the toughest ARC in order to complete the new Display Case Project. Completing each of its five tiers unlocks new blueprints, Raider tokens and other rewards.

When you venture into ARC Raiders’ world to experience these new additions, enhance immersion, increase responsiveness and accelerate frame rates with a suite of NVIDIA technologies. DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, working in concert with DLSS Super Resolution, will multiply performance. NVIDIA Reflex will reduce PC latency, allowing your actions to occur faster in-game, making gameplay feel more responsive. And NVIDIA RTXGI uses the power of ray tracing to make lighting more realistic and responsive.

 

Additionally, NVIDIA app users can upgrade to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution by following the steps here, further enhancing image quality, most noticeably when using DLSS Performance and Ultra Performance modes.

Game Ready For Highguard

Highguard is a free-to-play PvP raid shooter where players will ride, fight, and raid as Wardens, arcane gunslingers sent to fight for control of a mythical continent. Team up, secure your base, then ride out across vast uncharted lands to loot, harvest resources, and upgrade your arsenal as you face off against a rival Warden crew looking to claim your territory as their own. Battle for possession of the legendary Shieldbreaker in the open field; fight to carry it to the enemy base to bring down their shields—then raid to destroy their base before they can destroy yours.

 

GeForce RTX gamers playing Highguard can accelerate frame rates with DLSS Super Resolution. And via the NVIDIA app, which can be upgraded to our new 2nd generation transformer AI models, further enhancing clarity and fidelity.

Game Ready For Arknights: Endfield

Developed by HYPERGRYPH, and published by GRYPHLINE in Europe and North America, Arknights: Endfield is a 3D real-time strategy RPG, set in the world of Arknights, the wildly successful mobile tower defense RPG hybrid.

Arknights: Endfield introduces Talos-II, a new frontier world filled with exploration, real-time combat, and base-building. Taking on the role of the Endministrator of Endfield Industries, you’ll set out across Talos-II to uncover its secrets, and defend and expand the frontiers of human civilization.

The earliest settlers of Talos-II braved wars and disasters, and through more than 150 years of relentless effort, they carved out a foothold and laid out a new foundation for humanity — the Civilization Band. Yet most of this world remains untamed. Vast wildlands and uninhabited territories stretching toward the horizon still await exploration. Every step forward is shadowed by threats — whether remnants of the past or dangers never before seen.

Expansion and exploration, as well as continuity and progression, are the eternal themes throughout the evolution of civilization, and the ultimate pursuit of every life that constitutes it.

As the Endministrator of Endfield Industries, you will lead your operators to defend and expand the frontiers. Your Originium engines rumble in the wildlands while production machinery works around the clock to deploy new AIC Factory production lines. Explore the world of Talos-II and gather various resources. Use the AIC Factory to overcome dangers and work with the operators to build a better homeland for humanity.

 

Endministrators with a GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU can activate DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and DLSS Super Resolution to multiply frame rates by an average of 3X at 4K, with all of Arknights: Endfield’s settings maxed out. At lower resolutions, this enables much of our GPU lineup to hit the maximum 480 frames per second permitted in-game when activating DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation.

For even higher fidelity when using DLSS Super Resolution’s Performance and Ultra Performance modes, all GeForce RTX gamers can now activate our new 2nd Generation Transformer DLSS models in the NVIDIA app. And native support is currently in development by HYPERGRYPH, making it even easier to get the best possible experience.

DLSS delivers the definitive Arknights: Endfield for PC players, with the fastest levels of performance, and NVIDIA Reflex support enables the most responsive controls. See for yourself in our DLSS 4 performance video below, and download the game today, for free, here.
