NVIDIA has delighted gamers with a new GeForce Game Ready driver optimised for the highly anticipated release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, due out on 20 November 2024. The driver adds support for NVIDIA's proprietary DLSS 3 and Reflex technologies, which provide fantastic performance and minimise system latency.

What's new in the driver?

  • DLSS 3 (Deep Learning Super Sampling): This technology uses artificial intelligence to increase frame rates while maintaining high quality graphics. For example, on the GeForce RTX 4070 at 4K resolution and maximum settings, performance increases from 30 to 70 FPS, and on the RTX 4090, frame rates exceed 120 FPS.
  • NVIDIA Reflex: Dramatically reduces system latency by up to 45%. This is especially important for fast-paced games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, where the player's reaction to events must be as fast as possible.
  • Support not only for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, but also other hits, in particular Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which also received DLSS 3 and Reflex optimisations.

At 3840x2160 resolution, DLSS 3 delivers up to 145 FPS on the most powerful systems.

NVIDIA App - the all-in-one assistant for graphics card owners

To get the most out of the new driver, NVIDIA recommends using NVIDIA App, a state-of-the-art control centre for all GeForce graphics card features. Here's what it offers:

  • Easy driver updates: The app will automatically notify you of new versions and install them in a few clicks.
  • Game Optimisation: NVIDIA App analyses your computer and suggests the optimal graphics settings for each game.
  • Recording and streaming: With built-in ShadowPlay, you can easily record gameplay moments, take screenshots, or stream your game.
  • Advanced RTX settings: Access to control DLSS, Reflex, and other NVIDIA technologies.

Why is this important for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2?

S.T.A.A.L.L.K.K.E.R.. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is not only the long-awaited sequel to the iconic series, but also one of the most graphically demanding projects of the year. NVIDIA technology allows you to experience more than just gaming, it allows you to get the ultimate immersion with realistic visuals, detailed shadows, and high frame rates even in 4K.
