NVIDIA DLSS 3 Multiplying Performance In Even More Games (2024)

Each week, we’re bringing you news of the latest DLSS and ray tracing integrations in games and apps. Last week, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™ launched with DLSS 3 and ray tracing, and more DLSS 2 games were released.

This week, at COMPUTEX 2023, we’ve announced that Ash Echoes, Honor of Kings: World, and Legend of Ymir will all launch with DLSS 3, and Party Animals with DLSS 2. And we’re celebrating the release of Diablo IV with DLSS 3, and System Shock with DLSS 2.

Read on for all the details.

Diablo IV officially launches June 6th, though Digital Deluxe and Ultimate Edition buyers can begin playing up to four days early*. To give GeForce gamers the definitive PC experience, Blizzard and NVIDIA have partnered to bring our game-changing technologies to Diablo IV.

GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers can max out frame rates with NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation, and other GeForce RTX users can accelerate performance with DLSS 2’s critically acclaimed Super Resolution technology.

In Diablo IV, DLSS 3 helps GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers multiply performance at 4K by an average of 2.5X. In our action-filled benchmark, performance on the GeForce RTX 4090 increased by 2.4X, enabling us to play at 229 frames per second with every single setting maxed out. The GeForce RTX 4080 hit 177 FPS, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ran Diablo IV at 139 FPS, and the GeForce RTX 4070 113 FPS.

At 2560x1440, DLSS 3 enables the GeForce RTX 4070 to play Diablo IV at over 170 frames per second, with frame rates hitting 335 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4090. And at 1920x1080 all GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards can play at over 200 FPS.

GeForce gamers can improve responsiveness in Diablo IV by enabling NVIDIA Reflex. NVIDIA Reflex is a must-have in games, reducing system latency so your actions occur quicker, giving you a competitive edge. Reflex is available in many single-player games and 9 out of 10 of top competitive shooters, is used by over 50 million players each month, and is activated by 90% of GeForce gamers in the 70+ supported titles.

Using Reflex, system latency is reduced by up to 67% in Diablo IV, helping you vanquish the forces of evil, delivering responsiveness in intense battles, helping you stay alive in Hardcore mode, and providing you the ultimate experience against human foes in PvP.

Additionally, we can confirm that ray tracing will come to Diablo IV at a later date, enhancing Sanctuary’s detailed world, and making battles even more spectacular.

Full ray tracing, otherwise known as path tracing, is currently the most computationally demanding workload in real-time graphics rendering. To make it a reality in today’s detailed games, like Cyberpunk 2077, new software innovations were developed by NVIDIA.

In a new video, we’ll demonstrate how RTX Direct Illumination, RTX Global Illumination, NVIDIA Real-Time Denoisers, Shader Execution Reordering, and DLSS were all used to make the technology preview of Cyberpunk 2077’s Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode possible, and how they combine to deliver fast, enjoyable frame rates on current-generation GPUs.

Ash Echoes is an anime-style, isometric real-time tactics game with a wide array of characters to collect, rank up, and incorporate into your squads. Formulate your strategy, unleash your squad on enemies, and pick the opportune time to activate each characters’ devastating abilities.

At launch, Ash Echoes will enhance your experience with NVIDIA DLSS 3 and ray-traced effects. Get an exclusive first look in our new RTX ON gameplay trailer:

Created using Unreal Engine 5, Legend of Ymir will push the boundaries of what’s possible in MMORPGs with Nanite geometry, hardware-accelerated Lumen lighting, ray-traced reflections, and stunningly rich textures. All of which will be accelerated by NVIDIA DLSS 3 at launch.

Battle with your friends as puppies, kittens and other cuddly creatures in Party Animals, developed by Recreate Games. Engage in paw-to-paw combat with your friends online. Interact with the world using a realistic physics engine and take advantage of interactive elements in each unique level to emerge victorious in every brawl.

Upon the release of Party Animals, GeForce RTX gamers can boost performance with DLSS 2 and reduce system latency with NVIDIA Reflex, giving them a competitive edge over other critters with less responsive systems.

Take a look at the new gameplay trailer for a glimpse of Party Animals’ paw-some action:

Nightdive Studios has remade the entirety of System Shock in Unreal Engine 4, so a new generation of players can try to topple SHODAN - doing so on a GeForce RTX GPU unlocks support for DLSS 2, which can more than double your frame rate at 4K max settings.

System Shock launches today, so you won’t have long to wait to experience one of gaming’s classic titles in an entirely new light.

As you can see, there are even more DLSS integrations dropping into the newest blockbusters and latest indie games. Check back next week for a rundown of the next DLSS games, and head here to see the complete list of over 300 DLSS-enhanced games and apps.
