NVIDIA just announced that CRSED, Enlisted, Mordhau and Warface have just been updated to support NVIDIA Reflex!
Find out what NVIDIA Reflex is all about, and how it improves responsiveness in those four games!
NVIDIA Reflex : What Is It?
NVIDIA describes Reflex as “a revolutionary suite of GPU, G-SYNC display and software technologies” that measure and reduce system latency.
The key to this technology is the NVIDIA Reflex SDK – a new set of APIs for game developers. Once integrated into a game, it adjusts the game engine work to eliminate the GPU render queue, and reduce CPU back pressure.
Like NVIDIA Ultra Low Latency (NULL) mode, Reflex prevents the CPU from processing faster than the GPU, eliminating extra frames from being queued up for rendering, which would normally increase render latency.
The difference really is this – by integrating with the game, the NVIDIA graphics driver can control the amount of back pressure the CPU receives from the render queue and other later stages of the pipeline.
This makes NVIDIA Reflex superior to NULL, but only with games that integrate the SDK.
CRSED, Enlisted, Mordhau + Warface Now Support NVIDIA Reflex!
NVIDIA announced that CRSED, Enlisted, Mordhau and Warface just added support for NVIDIA Reflex.
After you update those games, you will get to enjoy lower system latencies with your NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards.
CRSED, Enlisted, Mordhau + Warface : How Much Faster With NVIDIA Reflex?
CRSED is a free-to-play multiplayer last-man-standing shooter game, that was released in December 2019.

In the lead-up to their major GeForce reveal on 1 September 2020, NVIDIA shared how their team designs and creates the NVIDIA Founders Edition graphics cards!
NVIDIA Founders Edition : What Is It?
NVIDIA Founders Edition graphics cards are designed to be the ultimate expression of NVIDIA’s gaming vision.
They are crafted with premium materials and components, including a faceted die-cast aluminium-framed shroud for strength, rigidity and looks.
Aesthetics aside, they come with an improved cooler built around a radial fan and an improved aluminium heatsink with two copper heat pipes and over 50% more surface area.
They also come with dual FETs for both GPU and memory power supplies, coupled with a low-impedance power delivery network and custom voltage regulators for better power efficiency.
All the better to deliver better performance and higher overclocking headroom, at lower noise levels.
How An NVIDIA Founders Edition Graphics Card Is Designed!
But a lot has changed over the years, and it now takes a combination of expertise in architecture development, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and product design to make it all happen.
To lift the shroud on this process, some of NVIDIA’s best and brightest detailed the art and science behind graphics card design today, with a look towards the possibilities of the future.
In this video, NVIDIA offers a first glimpse at some of the strides they made in designing graphics cards, so that they can reach their maximum potential and remain cool and quiet.
The next-generation NVIDIA Founders Edition graphics cards will feature these improvements :
Thermal : An airflow-optimised cooling solution, redesigned to overcome existing constraints and move more air through the system for maximum cooling efficiency.
Mechanical : A stronger mechanical structure, including a new low profile leaf spring that leaves room for a back cover.
Electrical : A compact electrical design, with a new 12-pin power connector that allows more space for components and cooling, and is compatible with 8-pin connectors in existing power supplies with an included adapter.
Product Design : A no-compromise, cohesive design that embraces the revolutionary thermal solution while beautifully harmonising each element of the graphics card.
We can’t wait to see what the next-generation NVIDIA Founders Edition graphics card will deliver!

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX SUPER graphics cards are here, and here is everything you need to know about these new SUPER edition cards!
Find out if these are the graphics cards you are looking for!
NVIDIA SUPER Teasers + Briefing
The new SUPER graphics cards are designed to extend NVIDIA’s performance lead against the new AMD Navi-based graphics cards.
NVIDIA actually started teasing us about its impending launch with this video from 26 May 2019, before Computex 2019 :
That was followed up on 28 June 2019, with another teaser NVIDIA Super video called “The wait is almost over…” with the hashtag #RTXon
Finally, just hours before they unveiled the new SUPER graphics cards, they gave us a cursory briefing :
As you can tell – they were basically not telling us much. That’s partly because the new cards are basically cut-down versions of more powerful but existing GeForce RTX models.
It’s okay. We have everything you need to know about the new SUPER graphics cards!
The NVIDIA RTX SUPER Graphics Cards
NVIDIA announced just three models, two of which replaces existing GeForce RTX models :
The GeForce RTX 2060 survives to remain the cheapest RTX card you can buy, while the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti remains the top-of-the-line RTX graphics card that money can buy.
NVIDIA RTX SUPER Price + Availability
First, these were the official launch and availability dates :
2 July 2019 (6 AM PST) : Soft launch – the NVIDIA SUPER series announced.
9 July 2019 : The 2060 SUPER and 2070 SUPER available for sale. Custom cards revealed.
23 July 2019 : The 2080 SUPER and custom cards available for sale.
The new cards will cost the same, or a little more, than current RTX cards…
NVIDIA dropped the RTX 2080 and RTX 2070 because they were no longer competitive, so this is what the new GeForce RTX 20 line-up will look like :
It looks like everyone posted the wrong TMU count for the RTX 2070S graphics card, giving it an unfair performance lead over the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT on paper.
The GeForce RTX 2070S actually has a TMU count of 160, not 184. This makes it slightly slower than the Radeon RX 5700 XT on paper, instead of being significantly faster in texture fill rate.
The rumoured 2080 Ti SUPER card will use a brand new Turing GPU. However, with no AMD Navi graphics card posing a direct challenge, it’s possible this card may never see the light of day.
If NVIDIA eventually brings it out, it will definitely have more CUDA Cores, more TMUs and probably more ROPs than the current TU102 that the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti uses.
This new GPU will also be “unlocked”, so card manufacturers will have carte blanche to go crazy with it. It will be possible for them to design a card with a 300 watt TDP!
We also expect it to have faster GDDR6 memory, probably 16 Gbps. That would give it a memory bandwidth of 704 GB/s, assuming NVIDIA sticks with a 352-bit bus width.
Updated @ 2019-06-30 – Updated the specifications of the NVIDIA Super cards.
– Updated details of their availability and custom cards
– Added a new Increased TDP section.
Updated @ 2019-06-28 – Added details about ASUS and GIGABYTE Super cards.
– Added the CONFIRMED announcement date and time!
– Added a new NVIDIA Super video teaser!

Singapore, 20 May 2016 — NVIDIA today opened the path toward virtualising all enterprise applications with the introduction of NVIDIA GRID with the new NVIDIA Tesla M10 GPU. The offering provides the industry’s highest user density — supporting 64 users per board and 128 users per server — so businesses can deliver virtualised apps to all of their employees at an affordable cost.
The NVIDIA GRID software lets enterprises simplify deployments of virtual applications, desktops and workstations to meet all use cases and workloads. It provides a great user experience for every modern business application, such as Outlook, Office 2016, web browsers, Adobe Photoshop and the Windows 10 operating system.
In addition, the offering eases enterprise adoption through a flexible subscription model that allows organisations to balance capital and operating expenses while enjoying the lowest total cost of ownership.
Ongoing software updates provide the latest innovations to customers.
Exploding Growth of GPU-Accelerated Business Applications
The use of GPU-accelerated business applications by office workers is exploding. The percentage of accelerated apps has more than doubled in the past five years, with half that growth coming in the first months of 2016 alone, according to SysTrack Community data provided by Lakeside Software. To provide the best user experience, these applications increasingly use OpenGL and DirectX APIs, as well as graphics technology from the data center through to the device. To achieve the level of experience users require and have come to expect, virtual environments need access to the GPU.
“High-performing knowledge workers require high-performing business applications for maximum productivity. That requires GPU acceleration,” said Jim McHugh, vice president and general manager of the NVIDIA GRID business at NVIDIA. “With the highest user density in the industry, NVIDIA GRID with the Tesla M10 makes it easy and affordable for businesses to virtualise every application for knowledge workers with no compromise in erformance.”
“While the need for advanced GPU technology has commonly been associated with the usage of 3D applications, as enterprises make the move to software like Windows 10, Office 365, and other SaaS and web apps, IT departments will increasingly seek the benefits of GPU acceleration to provide everyday business tools to all of their users,” said Robert Young, research director, IT Service Management and Client Virtualisation Software at IDC.
NVIDIA GRID is the industry standard for graphics virtualisation, supported by every enterprise OEM with full compatibility with every PC application. By working with offerings from Citrix and VMware, the leading virtualisation vendors, it delivers amazing experience with virtual applications or remote desktop session host for less than US$2 a month per user and to virtual PCs for less than US$6 a month per user.
[adrotate group=”1″]
The Tesla M10 joins the Tesla M6 and M60 as options for NVIDIA GRID, making GRID the only solution on the market that meets the performance needs of all enterprise users — from the most demanding designers and engineers to knowledge workers.
Increased user density per server: The Tesla M10 delivers a superior experience at the highest user density on the market, allowing up to 64 users per board or up to 128 users per server with just two boards. This enables enterprises to expand service to more employees at a lower cost per user.
Expanded software offering: NVIDIA GRID comes in three software meditions to meet different user needs. For office workers, NVIDIA Virtual Applications (vApps) and NVIDIA VirtualPC (vPC) deliver Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 virtual desktops and PC applications with native user experience. NVIDIA Virtual Workstation (vWS) delivers the power of a workstation from the data center, so designers, engineers and architects are free to work on their professional graphics applications from anywhere.
Flexible subscription model, ongoing updates: With ongoing innovation and feature updates in the software and the data center GPUs that power NVIDIA GRID, customers benefit from increased value through the life of the deployment. To ease adoption, NVIDIA is offering a new annual subscription model that offers customers access to the latest upgrades along with enterprise-class support and maintenance. Customers can buy up to three years of annual subscription upfront. Alternatively, they can choose the perpetual license model.
Tesla M10 Availability
The latest NVIDIA GRID software is available worldwidet today. The Tesla M10 will be generally available starting August 2016.
