NVIDIA Announces Ansel and Highlights Technologies
Taking advantage of Modern Warfare’s incredible new graphics engine capabilities, the Activision Games Blog has already taken a detailed look at how real-time ray tracing (powered by NVIDIA GeForce RTX) and NVIDIA Adaptive Shading is coming to the PC game at launch (see the Related Article below).
In addition to ray tracing and NVIDIA Adaptive Shading, two additional technologies are also being implemented into the PC version of Modern Warfare for GeForce PC gamers: NVIDIA Ansel and Highlights. What are these technologies, and how do they affect your game? Glad you asked:
What is Ray Tracing (PC)?
Ray tracing simulates the physical behavior of light to bring real-time, cinematic-quality rendering to even the most visually intense games.
What is NVIDIA Adaptive Shading?
For NVIDIA GeForce GTX 16 Series and RTX gamers on PC, NVIDIA Adaptive Shading adjusts the rate at which portions of the screen are shaded, meaning the GPU has less work to do, boosting overall performance.
What is NVIDIA Ansel?
NVIDIA Ansel is a powerful photo mode that enables you to take amazing in-game photos on PC during the Campaign from unique angles, which you can further customize with filters, tweaks, and other adjustments, before being optionally shared on social media, forums, or the Shot With GeForce website. Make sure to download GeForce Experience to take advance of Ansel in your game.
What is NVIDIA Highlights?
Highlights automatically captures key moments, clutch kills, and match-winning plays, ensuring that your best multiplayer gaming moments are automatically saved, which you can easily share online. Make sure to download GeForce Experience to take advantage of Highlights in your game.
