Call of Duty PC Specifications Make Use of DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex to Optimise Gameplay
Developers have ensured that the latest version of DLSS 3 is important to Call of Duty PC specifications. DLSS 3 enables mighty AI-powered graphics that optimize the game’s performance while maintaining superior image quality and responsiveness. It adds Frame Generation for GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs that are able to create additional frames and integrates NVIDIA Reflect low-latency tech that optimizes responsiveness.
Furthermore, NVIDIA Reflex makes low-latency gaming a seamless experience and gives you the ultimate responsiveness and experience without worrying about missing key details in the midst of action. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is all about intense fights and shootouts; hence, it’s important to have pinpoint accuracy at all times.
That’s where NVIDIA Reflex shines. It makes sure that Call of Duty PC specifications allow for less system latency, which automatically makes gameplay smoother, improves reaction time, and makes the best of the player’s skills.
Make sure you head to the Drivers tab of GeForce Experience or GeForce.com in order to download and install the latest drivers needed to run the game. This will optimise the Call of Duty PC specifications even more. Be assured that Game Ready drivers are synced with the developers and tested for maximum performance.
