GeForce 546.17: CoD MW III and Starfield ready with DLSS 3

With NVIDIA’s latest Game Ready driver, the graphics card manufacturer is offering performance improvements for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and other games. The driver also equips Modern Warfare III with NVIDIA DLSS 3, NVIDIA DLAA, and NVIDIA Reflex. In addition to the existing Call of Duty, Starfield is also benefiting from the update. There is already support for the Steam beta update, which in turn makes DLSS 3, DLAA, and NVIDIA Reflex available before the official release.

In internal benchmark testing, NVIDIA was able to increase Modern Warfare III performance by an average of 1.8 times when DLSS 3 was activated, at 4K resolution with all settings maxed out. This is intended to enable gaming at maximum settings at over 100 fps on the GeForce RTX 4070 and up to 200 fps on the GeForce RTX 4090. At 1440p, DLSS 3 can now increase performance by 1.6x. This performance increase can then enable 100fps+ on all GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards and up to 240fps on the GeForce RTX 4090. At 1080p resolution, there should be a 1.5x performance increase at Using DLSS 3. Here, with the highest graphics settings, the highest refresh rates on the GeForce RTX 4090 can also be exploited, with a result of 300 fps in the benchmark.

DLSS 3 is also said to increase performance by up to 1.6 times at 1080p and 1440p on GeForce RTX 40 series laptops. According to NVIDIA, this allows owners of GeForce RTX 4090 laptops to achieve up to 230 frames per second in game.

NVIDIA wants to improve image quality further with DLAA, an AI-based anti-aliasing mode that uses the same technology developed for DLSS. DLAA uses a native resolution image to maximize image quality rather than increase performance. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, DLAA can also be combined with DLSS Frame Generation to achieve high image quality with maximum performance.
