Learn more about each of these announcements, as well as others, in this roundup of NVIDIA’s COMPUTEX 2021 news.

The NVIDIA Ampere Architecture, with 2nd generation RT Cores and 3rd generation Tensor Cores, is our greatest generational leap ever. And for some time, the 80-Ti class of GPUs has represented the flagship of our gaming lineup.

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, released in 2017, could tackle all the games of its time. But this well-loved GPU simply can’t keep up with the demands of modern games. Last-gen’s successor, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, was introduced as the only way to play in 4K with RTX ON. But the production value of games marches forward, and titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Borderlands 3, and Watch Dogs: Legion have elevated realism, demanding even more of the GPU.

Our newest gaming flagship is the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. Launching June 3rd with prices starting at $1199, it’s 1.5X faster than its predecessor, and 2X faster than the GTX 1080 Ti in traditional rasterization at 4K.

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti’s power comes from 34 Shader-TeraFLOPS, 67 RT-TeraFLOPS, 273 Tensor-TeraFLOPS, a 384-bit memory interface, and 12GB of ultra-fast GDDR6X memory. These leading-edge hardware specs are supported by our complete range of game-changing features, including the incredible NVIDIA DLSS, which boosts performance by up to 2X.

To date, the GeForce RTX 3070 has been our most popular NVIDIA Ampere Architecture GPU. Now, we’re supercharging it with more CUDA Cores and superfast GDDR6X memory, creating the all-new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

Launching June 10th, starting at $599, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is 1.5X faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, and 2X faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.

Both graphics cards will be available for purchase as custom boards — including stock-clocked and factory-overclocked models — from top add-in card providers such as ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galax, Gigabyte, INNO3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac. And limited-edition NVIDIA Founders Edition boards will also be available. Learn more in our announcement article.

Ray Tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and GeForce RTX-accelerated AI technologies are being adopted by developers with unprecedented speed, faster than any other in NVIDIA’s history. Already, over 130 games and applications feature RTX support, including the #1 battle royale (Call of Duty: Warzone), the #1 best-selling game of all time (Minecraft), the #1 photography app (Adobe Photoshop), the #1 video editing app (Adobe Premiere Pro), the #1 broadcast app (OBS), both leading game engines (Unreal and Unity), and every major 3D renderer.

RTX technologies are also coming to Icarus, LEGO Builder’s Journey, DYING : 1983, The Ascent, and The Persistence, and have recently been announced for Virtual Reality games, including No Man’s Sky, Into The Radius, and Wrench.

With ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS, GeForce RTX gamers get the definitive experience on desktops, laptops, and in the cloud on GeForce NOW. Check out our new games announcement article for further info.

75% of GeForce gamers play competitive titles, such as Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Valorant. In each title, the difference between winning and losing is a matter of milliseconds, spurring us to create NVIDIA Reflex, a feature that reduces system latency by 20 milliseconds on average. With reduced system latency (a.k.a. input lag), your mouse clicks and actions occur faster in-game, making you more competitive.

90% of GeForce gamers use NVIDIA Reflex in the 16 games that are already supported, and now we’ve announced that Reflex is coming to Escape From Tarkov, War Thunder, CrossFire HD, and NARAKA: BLADEPOINT.

If you’re especially competitive, or are an esports pro, you’ll want to measure your system latency to ensure your system isn’t holding you back. In the past this was virtually impossible, but now there’s the NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer. In concert with supported G-SYNC gaming monitors and mice from an ecosystem of partners, and GeForce Experience’s free software, gamers can measure end-to-end system latency, from click to photon.

At COMPUTEX, we announced that EVGA, Lenovo and Viewsonic have joined the list of partners upgrading new and existing mice and G-SYNC monitors with Reflex Latency Analyzer support.

Now, 13 partners are offering a total of 15 monitors and 21 compatible mice with Reflex Latency Analyzer support, giving competitive players more options for measuring and optimizing their system latency.
