Mirror's Edge™ Catalyst from EA DICE is now available, offering gamers hours of fun in a massive city tailor-built for fast, fluid movement in first-person. For this latest release, DICE has taken PC visual fidelity to a new level, taking full advantage of the power of our new GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 graphics cards.

Making full use of their blistering performance, and 8GB framebuffer, DICE is able to dramatically increase environmental detail and shadow quality on the new 10 Series graphics cards, and further improve the quality of reflections, visual effects, environmental maps, image based lighting, motion blur, and Resolution Scale’s downsampling. Classed as “Hyper” settings, these enhancements enable users to explore a richer, more detailed city on the very best PCs and graphics cards, delivering the definitive Mirror's Edge™ Catalyst experience.

On the GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition graphics card, these Hyper settings run at over 60 frames per second at 2560x1440 in our testing, giving GTX 1080 gamers a highly detailed, highly responsive experience.
