Counter-Strike 2 is getting Nvidia Reflex support

We were all surprised when Counter Strike 2 was seemingly revealed through Nvidia's drivers earlier this year. At the time, Valve had not officially announced the game. If you were wondering why such a leak could have come from Nvidia, we now know why. Valve has been working with Nvidia to bring Nvidia Reflex technology to the game. 

Nvidia Reflex allows users to reduce their system latency in supported games, paving the way for more responsive controls and gameplay. Many of the top multiplayer games already support Reflex and when Counter-Strike 2 launches later this summer, it will also be joining that list.

With Counter-Strike 2 now being added to the list, nine out of the top ten competitive shooters now use Nvidia's latency-reducing tech. Other titles on the list include Call of Duty: Warzone, Destiny 2, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, Rainbow Six Siege, Valorant, Fortnite and Escape from Tarkov.

With Reflex enabled, latency in Counter-Strike 2 can be reduced by up to 35 percent. As a reminder, you only need a GTX 900 series or newer graphics card in order to use Nvidia Reflex, so there is wide support in place.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
