Users will also find support for five new GeForce Experience Optimal Playable Settings profiles and the GeForce GTX 1630, a new entry-level graphics card that NVIDIA launched today for budget systems.

Game Ready For F1 22 And Its RTX Tech

With the performance provided by NVIDIA DLSS, GeForce RTX gamers will have the headroom to enable F1 22’s immersive ray-traced effects, which add high-fidelity opaque reflections, transparent reflections, ambient occlusion, and shadows. See the perfectly-buffed race cars of Formula 1 with pixel-perfect reflections, wander the paddock with realistic reflections on its many glass facades, race through a world with accurate occlusion shadows, and see everything shadowed with unparalleled detail.
