NVIDIA has compared the reflex latency performance of its upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 with older RTX 3060 & GTX 1060 GPUs in Counter-Strike 2.
As spotted by The Verge, NVIDIA is bringing its Reflex technology which helps with lowering latency in a wide range of games, especially eSports titles, to Counter-Strike 2. Announced just a few days ago, Valve's Counter-Strike 2 took the internet by storm, unveiling some innovative new techniques such as dynamic smoke & sub-tick responsiveness that players of the iconic FPS shooter are going to experience when it launches.
Since the game is all about being responsive, having technologies such as NVIDIA's Reflex is a must and NVIDIA has shared some new latency benchmarks showcasing how their tech helps make the gaming experience in Counter-Strike 2 much better. We have improvements anywhere from 20% to 70% with the Reflex mode enabled.
What's interesting is that the Reflex Mode provides results that are much better on older GPUs. For example, with an RTX 4070, you are getting a sold reduction of 20% (8 ms vs 10 ms) but moving down to an older GPU such as the RTX 3060, you can get up to 32 percent reduction (11 ms vs 16 ms). Even the GTX 1060 is used in comparisons which shows a huge 35% reduction (17 ms vs 26 ms).

This goes off to show just how important having NVIDIA's Reflex technology is in games such as Counter Strike 2. What's more important is the comparison that's been made here. NVIDIA is not only using an unreleased graphics card such as the GeForce RTX 4070 but it is being compared to cards in different tiers such as the RTX 3060 and GTX 1060.
It is possible that NVIDIA made this comparison because the RTX 4060 doesn't exist
