- RTX HDR: Brings HDR-like enhancements to games that don't natively support HDR.
120 FPS AV1 Video Capture
The update introduces support for AV1 SDR and HDR video encoding at up to 120 frames per second. This feature, available on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, offers improved video quality and efficiency compared to H.264 encoding.
