NVIDIA Reflex enabled for Overwatch to score more critical hits

Almost half a year ago, NVIDIA introduced a new technology that went beyond just displaying breathtaking graphics. Although it still had something to do with what you do see in the end, NVIDIA Reflex is more focused on reducing the gap between clicking a mouse button and seeing its effect on the screen. This latency-reducing technology, however, needs more than just NVIDIA hardware. It also needs games to actually support Reflex and Overwatch is just the latest to join that exclusive club.
Display technologies are naturally concerned about things like refresh rates, response rates, tearing, and the like but, in the world of competitive esports, there are other factors that could mean the difference between glorious victory and embarrassing defeat. NVIDIA Reflex tries to solve the problem of system latency, also called input lag, that sometimes makes enemies see
Nvidia now supports Resizable BAR on all RTX 30 series graphics cards

When Resizable BAR first launched (originally called Smart Access Memory by AMD), it was only available on certain hardware. Now as time has gone on many hardware manufacturers have been working to get the technology supported on more hardware. When the RTX 3060 launched it was the first of the series to enable Resize BAR support, but it is now available on all RTX 30 series graphics cards thanks to the latest Nvidia driver.
But that doesnât just mean you can enable the feature with your RTX 30 series GPU, as thereâs also some other variables needed to activate it: â

Reflex is all about reducing system latency, the time between clicking your mouse and seeing the corresponding action on your screen. It works by slashing the number of frames that your GPU lines up in certain circumstances, which eases the strain on your CPU. NVIDIA says the tech can reduce input lag by up to 50 percent, with less-powerful GPUs getting a bigger boost than the likes of GeForce 30-series cards.

Lowering system latency could prove hugely useful for
Overwatch players, given how fast paced the action is. High input lag can mean the difference between whiffing a shot and taking out a pesky Tracer or Echo with a critical hit (assuming your aim s decent enough). NVIDIA can t fix a laggy internet connection or your mechanical skill, or make
