NVIDIA Reflex
NVIDIA Reflex enables game developers to optimize the rendering pipeline for click-to-photon latency, providing responsive gameplay for esports and latency sensitive single player games.
How NVIDIA Reflex Works
NVIDIA Reflex consists of two technologies, Reflex Low Latency mode, which synchronizes CPU and GPU pipelines for just-in-time rendering, and Reflex Frame Warp, which samples the latest mouse position and warps the rendered frame just before scan out to the most up to date camera position. These technologies significantly reduce input lag for the ultimate responsiveness in gaming. Additionally, developers can implement measurement markers that help calculate and visualize PC latency—great for debugging and further optimizing responsiveness in games.

Why NVIDIA Reflex
Frame Warp
Integrate this mode to reduce input lag and improve the responsiveness for mouse and camera movements in first- and third-person titles by warping frames to reflect the most up-to-date mouse position. Lowers latency in GPU- and CPU-bound scenarios.
Low-Latency Mode
Integrate this mode to align game engine work to complete just-in-time for rendering, eliminating the GPU render queue and reducing CPU back pressure in GPU-bound scenarios.
Latency Metrics
Get real-time latency metrics broken down by game pipeline stage: input, simulation, render submission, graphics driver, render queue, and GPU render. This is useful for debugging as well as enabling end users to measure responsiveness of their PC with your game.
