Nvidia Reflex is a suite of GPU, G-Sync display, and software technologies that help in measuring and reducing system latency.
Reflex Low Latency mode is a proprietary technology that optimizes the GPU and the game for the low-latency best performance.
Certain games also offer a Reflex+Boost setting, which increases your GPU’s clock speeds and prevents any potential bottlenecks.
Reflex can help lower rendering lag by as much as 80% and works best with first-person shooters like Apex Legends, Valorant, Call of Duty, Fortnite, and others.
The second component of Reflex is Reflex Latency Analyzer, which is a system latency measurement tool that can detect clicks coming from your mouse and measure the time it takes for the resulting pixels to change on the screen.
Nvidia Reflex can be enabled in individual games by heading to your game’s graphics settings. Some games also have a separate option called Nvidia Reflex+Boost.
There’s a long list of games that support Nvidia Reflex in some form. More games are being added all the time, so keep an eye on the full list available on Nvidia’s website.
Nvidia unveiled its new RTX 50-series graphics card lineup and Reflex 2, the next-generation upgrade to its latency-reduction technology during CES event.
Reflex 2 extends its reach to more gaming monitors and peripherals, with increased compatibility for Reflex Latency Analyzer.
Nvidia will introduce Reflex 2 on The Finals and Valorant, initially launching on RTX 50-series GPUs.
