Cheaper than ever: high-end graphics cards with RTX 3080 Ti and 3090 (Ti) at the best price

It’s about time: Dealers are finally offering high-end graphics cards at prices below the RRP. Exactly the right time to upgrade the gaming PC or tackle the long-awaited gaming build. But creative and content creators can also breathe easy and afford a powerful pixel booster for GPU-accelerated calculations such as image processing, video editing, rendering, 3D modeling and scientific calculations at a particularly low price.

NVIDIA is also giving away a free game key for Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered worth around 60 euros when you buy an RTX 3080 (Ti) or RTX 3090 (Ti) from selected retailers. At Metacritic, the PS4 game, which has been revised for the PC, achieves fantastic ratings of 87 points on average. Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is packed with ray tracing effects and NVIDIA DLSS boosts FPS tremendously.

But now let’s get to the graphic card snappers of the first week – powered by NVIDIA and ZOTAC

Exclusive benefits for gamers with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards

Graphics cards with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs have specialized processing units for ray tracing and AI calculations, from which more than 60 games now benefit, including blockbusters such as Dying Light 2, F1 2022, Fortnite, Ghostwire: Tokyo or Minecraft RTX Raytracing. Specialized RT processing units simulate the physical behavior of light and show game worlds more realistically than ever before thanks to real-time shadows, reflections and global lighting.

Ray tracing with high frame rates allows Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) – the technology renders games in a lower resolution, an AI then recalculates the image to the original resolution. DLSS 2.x produces even more detailed images with fewer artifacts and aliasing. The result: Significantly higher frame rates and usually better image quality than with native rendering. Many games – including all of the above – already support DLSS from version 2.x. Thanks to the easy integration, many more games will follow.

Thanks to NVIDIA Reflex, you benefit from extremely low latencies in games such as CoD Warzone, Escape from Tarkov, Fortnite, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant. The function is available exclusively for all GPUs of the GeForce RTX 30 series in combination with a screen that supports NVIDIA G-Sync. With G-Sync, an additional hardware module inside the gaming monitor synchronizes the display playback with the image output from the NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor. This enables unadulterated gaming fun without any tearing (single frame tearing), frame drops, input delays and image stuttering.

Get the best gaming performance with the NVIDIA Game Ready driver. The graphics specialist works closely with the game developers to deliver optimal hardware compatibility with the best possible performance and to fix errors on the first day of publication of a new title – in short: to maximize your gaming experience.

In addition, RTX graphics cards offer many exclusive functions, such as one-click optimization: The tool calculates based on the installed hardware

GeForce Experience

( Download ) the optimal graphics setting for each game – with just one click! Incidentally, GeForce Experience automatically notifies you as soon as a new driver is available – you can then install it with just one click. But GeForce Experience also has a lot of clever features on board:

With the Broadcast app you can use AI-supported audio and video effects, such as intelligent background noise reduction, individual backgrounds for video chats and much more. Record your gaming experience with NVIDIA Shadowplay – and share your greatest wins or your toughest defeats with your friends around the world. Create screenshots, gameplay videos and live streams – thanks to GeForce Experience at any time with minimal processor load.

NVIDIA Highlights records game highlights, important kills and decisive moves – fully automatically. Concentrate on your game – and later select the highlights to share with your friends. With the powerful NVIDIA ANSEL photo mode, it’s easy to create professional-quality photos during the game – including direct sharing via Facebook, Google Photos and Imgur. In supported games you have the choice between Super-Resolution, 360 degrees, HDR and Stereo.

NVIDIA Freestyle allows post-processing filters for HDR, color and saturation to be applied directly to a game. In this way, the visual appearance and mood of a title can be individually adjusted.

Decide for yourself how sharp you want the game to look with Image Sharpening. You make this setting directly in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
