Counter Strike 2 will arrive with Nvidia Reflex support this summer, and the tech could give GeForce GPU owners a competitive edge. While reaching higher frame rates than ever in the next best FPS game contender is important, enabling the feature will ensure player performance isn’t hampered by hardware related high latency.

Nvidia also justifiably boasts that nine out of the top ten competitive shooters for PC are compatible with Reflex. That list includes favourites like Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone 2,
