In this post, we’ll be delivering to you what’s been happening this week that is all about NVIDIA.
Official Launch of the GeForce RTX 4070
A couple of days ago marks the launch of the GeForce RTX 4070. Simply speaking, it has the power to rival the old RTX 3080 in raw power and wins almost entirely in games that support DLSS 3 while only consuming about 180W of power on average or topping out at 200W. The section it is aiming for is primarily 1440p gaming with RTX-related enhancements on.
We’ve reported several AIB offerings yesterday so go ahead and check out those from ASUS, GIGABYTE, and MSI.
Buy RTX, Get Battle Pass
For a little treat, those who bought the GeForce RTX 4090, 4080, 4070 Ti, and 4070 GPU on ala carte or as a prebuilt gaming desktop from now until May 8, you’ll get the following:
- 1,000 Overwatch 2 Coins

RTX Remix For Everyone
Perhaps the most exciting news aside from the RTX 4070 launch, RTX Remix, the tool that helps remaster old games powered by DX8 and DX9 with a touch of AI magic to make them look like actual modern remasters from the original studios, is going full open source to allow modders and low-level devs to work on the foundation of this technology and improve upon it.
Consisting of the RTX Remix Creator Toolkit and custom RTX Remix Runtime provides new ways to inject assets with new lighting and textures while adding some RTX techs here and there such as path tracing, DLSS 3, and Reflex, where applicable. Released under a permissive MIT license, it is available on GitHub right now.
Reflex for CS2
Just a quick word, since nearly all competitive online games out there with a respectable level of esports scene support NVIDIA Reflex, there’s no surprise that Counter Strike 2 based on the Source 2 engine will have it on launch so that leagues and tournaments are capable of providing the lowest latency setups possible.
