Competition in the world of graphics cards is usually equated with pure performance, which is of course the most important factor in choosing a specific manufacturer, although there are also a number of intermediate conditions . Currently, the development of technology takes place on several levels, as completely new techniques have appeared to beautify the graphics and support the rendering process, but still directly related to the hardware layer. In other words – each manufacturer offers a package of additional solutions to tip the scales of victory on their side. So, today we take a look at the ecosystem available on NVIDIA GeForce RTX and GeForce GTX graphics cards.

The range of additional features available on NVIDIA graphics cards can be broadly divided into four categories – directly affecting the visual and / or performance (RTX / DLSS), improving network games (Reflex), supporting web creators (Broadcast) and facilitating the preparation of digital content (Ansel / Highlights / Freestyle). The thematic range is probably wide enough for one device, i.e. a graphics card or a notebook equipped with an appropriate system, to perform several different tasks, which may eventually overlap. Part of the functionality is of course closely related to hardware resources, mainly it concerns ray tracing and DLSS, which is why the GeForce RTX family 2000 / 3000 offers the widest spectrum of possibilities, having at its disposal special computing units. The rest of the described solutions are also available on GeForce GTX 1000 and sometimes previous generations, including Reflex.

NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards are not only pure performance, but also additional features such as: ray tracing, DLSS, Reflex and Ansel.

An example of this is the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War online shooter, where we first enable ray tracing and DLSS, and then activate the optimization of system delays through NVIDIA Reflex, in total obtaining more spectacular graphics while improving performance and responsiveness. we broadcast live using NVIDIA ShadowPlay and Broadcast, finally being able to play with the Freestyle and Highlights effects, which are integrated with the GeF application orce Experience allows you to capture spectacular moments. Therefore, apart from pure performance, it is worth considering such factors when shopping, especially since today the graphics card is not only used to display images, but can do much more.

It is also worth noting that all the described technologies, including DLSS and ray tracing, can of course be found in notebooks where NVIDIA practically has a monopoly on high-performance graphics chips. The range of available functions again depends only on belonging to a specific GeForce (or Quadro) family, so owners of mobile platforms do not lose anything in relation to desktops, i.e. regardless of which variant of GeForce RTX or GeForce GTX we choose and wherever it would be physically installed, it will provide the same package of additional opportunities . Anyway, the distance between the classic blaszak and the gaming laptop has been significantly shortened by NVIDIA in recent years, and models with GeForce RTX systems will soon appear 3000, that will further improve notebook performance. Now let’s move on to the characteristics of the various functions offered by NVIDIA GeForce graphics chips and see what exactly they bring to players.
