Gaming has definitely entered the era of ray tracing. A cutting-edge technology in which Nvidia was one of the pioneers with its RTX. As always, the graphics card giant has also launched a whole host of in-house technologies to make RTX viable on most platforms. If we add to this the firepower of ASUS components, we end up with an ultimate combo to run all recent games in the best possible conditions.
Modern gaming requires cutting-edge technology to transform each session into an immersive experience. NVIDIA and ROG (Republic of Gamers) from ASUS have understood this well. For several years now, one fine day in November 2018 on Battlefield 5, NVIDIA began by launching with great fanfare its own ray tracing technology: RTX, which quickly established itself as a real revolution for PC gaming. Especially since with it, we also had the right to a whole bunch of new technologies to support its integration, while continuing to constantly improve your games to make them… dazzling!

Revolutionary technologies Made in NVIDIA
The best known of these is undoubtedly full Ray Tracing (RTX), which represents the quintessence of light simulation, offering unparalleled realism in games. Indeed, full Ray Tracing simulates the behavior of light in a virtual environment in an extremely precise and realistic manner. It calculates the path of each ray of light, enabling the creation of scenes with precise shadows, realistic reflections and complex refractions, bringing unparalleled depth and realism to games. So much so that it can transform old gems like Portal (released in 2007 anyway) into real slaps with Portal RTX. A real facelift to sum up. Cyberpunk 2077 is surely one of the most prominent examples among AAA games that use RTX. With this technology enabled, every walk through Night City is a SLAP.
But a prettier game often means a more demanding game. This is where DLSS 3.5 comes in. This other proprietary technology from NVIDIA uses artificial intelligence to improve image quality while optimizing game performance. By generating additional pixels and improving sharpness images, DLSS 3.5 allows players to enjoy more beautiful graphics without sacrificing the smoothness of the gaming experience, even in the most demanding scenes. Pretty good, right? A blatant example is Alan Wake 2, which takes advantage of both technologies (RTX and DLSS 3.5), allowing the framerate to be considerably increased. It's simple, DLSS allows you to go from an average of 30 FPS to literally 100 FPS with both technologies running. The power of the AI is almost magical, and the lights are magnificent…
More recently, our games have also been able to benefit from NVIDIA DLAA. A great advancement in anti-aliasing techniques, using AI to eliminate jagged effects on the edges of objects in games. Based on the same technology as DLSS, DLAA delivers a significant improvement in image sharpness, making gaming scenes sharper and more detailed, even at high native resolutions. Finally, the NVIDIA REFLEX, which reduces system latency, allowing for a faster response to commands entered by the player. This technology is crucial for competitive gaming where every millisecond counts. By minimizing the delay between player action and on-screen response, NVIDIA REFLEX significantly improves game responsiveness, giving gamers a competitive advantage. Perfect for FPS in particular, but not only.
The perfect set-up to enjoy it all, thanks to the power of ASUS and NVIDIA
