NVIDIA Reflex can give you a competitive edge in shooters like Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends
As you get better at fast-paced games like Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends, you have to look at more than just your own skills if you want to gain a competitive edge. Your reflexes and aim can only take you so far if your equipment is holding you back.
One of the most important numbers you should pay attention to in competitive shooters isn’t frames per second (FPS); it’s latency. FPS is a good measure of the rate your computer displays information, but latency measures how up-to-date that information is. Latency is the speed that your actions – your key presses, mouse movements, and clicks – are communicated to your computer. It’s no good getting a headshot on your screen if, by the time your mouse click is registered, your target has already moved out of the way. The lower the latency of your system, the more accurate the action displayed on your screen is.
That's where NVIDIA Reflex comes in.
NVIDIA Reflex is both a tool that reduces game latency and an analysis suite that gives you the information you need to make smart changes to your setup.
When you run NVIDIA Reflex on compatible games, such as Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends, it will make dynamic changes in the background to reduce latency. Acting as a bridge between your processor and graphics card, NVIDIA Reflex helps your components operate in sync with one another.
Intensive scenes in a video game, where your processor can perform the calculations needed to generate a frame but your GPU is struggling to produce them, can create a render queue. The longer the queue, the greater the delay between what you see on your monitor and the actual state of the game. With NVIDIA Reflex enabled, your processor communicates with the game engine to calculate frames at the last
