By Andrew Burnes on December 12, 2023 | Featured Stories Drivers

Our latest Game Ready driver supports the launch of THE FINALS, featuring DLSS 3, DLAA, Reflex, and RTXGI Ray Tracing. Additionally, there’s support for Fortnite Chapter 5 and its 3 new modes, and Squad’s DLSS 3, DLAA and Reflex update.

To download and install, head to the Drivers tab of GeForce Experience or GeForce.com.

THE FINALS Is Available Now With DLSS 3, DLAA, Reflex & Ray Tracing

Embark Studios’ THE FINALS is a free-to-play shooter set in a highly destructive world, making each match unique. Players form teams of three and enter tournaments that see the lowest-ranked teams dropped, concluding with a one-on-one grand finale for the title of champion. The goal is to collect, carry, and bank boxes of cash - the team with the most cash at the end of the round wins. But team wipes and steals see the pendulum of success swing widely from moment to moment, putting contestants on the edges of their seats each and every match.

 

THE FINALS was recently shadow dropped on Steam in a surprise announcement, giving gamers instant access to environments that can be blown apart by explosives and an arsenal of weapons. As buildings are blown open, and walls come crashing down, the world’s lighting needs to react realistically as light is occluded or disoccluded. To make this a reality, NVIDIA RTX Global Illumination (RTXGI) is used to accurately calculate and update light and shadow in real-time on all platforms.

With a GeForce RTX GPU in your PC or laptop, RTXGI can leverage hardware-accelerated ray tracing to produce richer and more realistic global illumination effects. When enabled, you’ll experience light realistically bouncing around the environment, reacting to destruction, and interacting with volumetric fog and smoke. And light and shadow will look even better.

At 4K, DLSS 3 multiplies performance by 2X on average, when ray tracing and every other setting is maxed out, enabling smooth 100+ FPS gameplay on the GeForce RTX 4070 and up, and frame rates of up to 226 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4090, giving you the definitive experience in THE FINALS.

At 2560x1440, performance is boosted by 1.6X on average, enabling all GeForce RTX 40 Series desktop gamers to play THE FINALS at over 100 FPS with max settings:

At 1920x1080, a 1.6X average improvement enables flawless every GeForce RTX 40 Series gamer to play at over 144 FPS, with frame rates hitting an incredible 300-plus on the GeForce RTX 4080 and 4090:

If your performance in THE FINALS is high enough already, you can instead enable NVIDIA DLAA, an AI-based anti-aliasing mode that utilizes the same technology developed for DLSS. DLAA uses a native resolution image to maximize image quality, rather than boosting performance, for an even richer, more detailed experience.

And to make gameplay even more responsive in THE FINALS, all GeForce gamers with GPUs dating back to the GTX 900 Series can enable NVIDIA Reflex, which reduces system latency by up to 57%.

With Reflex, DLSS, and hardware-accelerated ray tracing, GeForce RTX gamers will receive the definitive experience in THE FINALS. See for yourself in our new frag video, leveraging all three technologies to deliver the best gameplay possible:
