New Nvidia GeForce Game Ready Driver (456.38) comes with Nvidia REFLEX support for Valorant

Hello,

I updated to the latest drivers to get reflex, but with reflex on my game latency shoots up to 110+ms, when I turn it off it goes down to 13ms. Should older systems not use reflex?

My specs:

intel core i5-45900 3.3GHz

8gb ram

win7 64 bit

Nvidia Gforce GTX 960

Gsync 144Hz monitor

So I think this is a problem unique to Windows 7. We measured it using external tools and it's just that the reported latency is wrong. Your actual latency is likely improving. You won't be able to measure your latency properly utilizing the in-game charts unless NVIDIA fixes it in a new driver but reflex should still be reducing your input latency.

will there be any difference for a 750ti?

I actually think you'll see the MOST improvement on a 750 TI. The older the card the more benefit you'll get.

So should i turn off boost on low end gpu like 1050?

Boost won't hurt you. It will potentially increase power consumption or heat generation (loud fans).

Where can I activate the settings? I have just updated but don't see the setting

It should be under video in the settings menu. You should see reflex if your driver supports it.

Hey, I have a 2080TI and am using on + boost. Interestingly my game+render latency will go up if I limit my fps to 144. The higher my fps limit or unlimited I sit around 7-9ms.Limited to 144 I'm 12-14ms.

Limiting your FPS will increase your latency because you're just sitting idle when your computer could be processing frames. Does that make sense? Maybe I am misunderstanding what you're getting at.

Thank you!

I have a shit CPU but a good GPU, will turning om "boost" setting be a bad idea?

I don't want anything to effect my FPS

hello, even with the on + boost option activated my GPU does not exceed 40% of use, when I am in the game menu I use 90% of the GPU and I get 1000 fps, my card is a gtx 1070 ti and the processor it is an i7 8700.

the game is using the GPU more in the menu than in the games.

any suggestion?

I speculated on what could be happening with the GPU here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/iula3h/new_nvidia_geforce_game_ready_driver_45638_comes/g5ntk20/

BOOST won't affect GPU usage metrics. It should affect clock rate though.

the game is using the GPU more in the menu than in the games.

even with these settings my processor or gpu rarely exceeds 40% usage. and my fps is between 230 and 182, but I think it should be bigger and more stable.

any suggestion?

In terms of CPU you probably have a lot of cores on your system and the game doesn't make use of all them. It's something we're looking to improving in the far future but it's not a quick or easy thing to accomplish.

Note: BOOST won't affect GPU usage metrics. It should affect clock rate though.

I have one with an rtx 2060.

Yes and yes

Reflex feels interesting, but with my RTX 2080, the "on + boost" setting doesn't make my GPU stay at a high clock speed?

Somehow my core clock is fluctating between 600Mhz... all the way to 1785Mhz?

I have "Enable Maximum Performance Mode" in the Nvidia Control Panel already, and use the"High" power plan in Windows itself.

No overclock or change applied to the "core clock speed" nor the "memory clock speed" on the GPU.

The card is supposed to have a core clock of 1‎785 MHz... so I find it odd that in the practice range when shooting targets in Valorant. The GPU core clock is cycling between 600Mhz, 785Mhz, 1515Mhz, and 1785Mhz.

Do you have any idea why my card could possibly be clocking up and down this much when in Valorant u/RiotBrentmeister?

Even with the reflex "on + boost" option, it still has this issue.

I get ~380 FPS regardless as I have an i7...

Let me lead with caveats. Riot didn't develop the Reflex SDK. NVIDIA did. I'm also not an expert on NVIDIA's clock determination algorithms or how the tool you're using is measuring it.

That being said I'll give you my totally not official wild guess based on what I know.

Everything beyond this point is speculation.

The final clock rate ends up being the culmination of several multipliers. If you were going to make a clock rate controller you'd probably have a multiplier for current activity that is either very low or very high based on if the GPU is currently in use. You'd probably have a multiplier that is based on usage in the last second. You might have an additional multiplier that acts like a "boost". Boost might just be bumping up a boost multiplier that keeps the "usage in the last second" multiplier from capping your clock rate too low. You'd probably still want an activity multiplier to keep from just idling at max frequency all th...

I have a 1080ti with a 240hz monitor and run settings all at low, would you recommend boost or just keep it on?

I'd give BOOST a shot and see if it makes a difference for you. It's really hard to predict how much it will help different specs. Easiest to just test it out. Overall, it can't really hurt to put it on BOOST if you don't mind the additional power draw.

Good find. I think we missed this in our testing. Do you play with all the graphs on? They take up so much screen space when they're all on. I only ever use 3 at a time.

BOOST can't really hurt you. Test it out and see if it makes a difference on your specific machine! If you run into overheating problems just go back to "On".

Hey! I do really appreciate your explanation.

So the basic option, after installing the new drivers, should always be ON, from what I understand and I do not need setting anything myself after I've just installed the drivers.

May I ask you a bit different topic? The 'network buffering' setting. There was an article about people abusing it by setting to 'Maximum' to get a small advantage from it.

Is it true?

Can you link the article? It's not my area of expertise but this doesn't sound true to me. I'd want to read the full article to get an idea of the claims before commenting on them.

Yes, any NVIDIA cards 900 series are newer are guaranteed to support this feature. Even laptop gpus!

Should reflex be disabled for those of us who experience no frame drops when playing valorant? I have the game capped at 230 fps and under no circumstance does it ever move from 230 fps. But from what you said about it having no performance hit - sounds like it should still be left on anyway?

And this is bypassing the max pre-render frame setting? Sort of like a super 'reduce buffering' setting?

We recommend leaving it on always since there is no negative impact to having it on. We let you toggle it off in case players ran into issues with it for some reason.

It doesn't affect pre-rendered frames per se but yeah both settings affect impact latency. Reflex can help regardless of your number of pre-rendered frames.

/u/RiotBrentmeister hehe thanks man. Now the only thing's missing is the fiber internet and a 240/360hz monitor to replace my old 144hz one. Then I'm ready for some pro level stuff :D

Me too! See you in RADIANT my friend.
