MSI seahawkPC Gamers get the best performance from machines equipped with a GeForce RTX™ card featuring NVIDIA DLSS. This combination delivers upgraded graphics capabilities without a performance cost. NVIDIA DLSS is groundbreaking new AI rendering technology that leverages the power of the Tensor Core AI processors found only on NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ GPUs such as the Best Buy exclusive MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR. Learn more about DLSS, then enter this contest and you might win the new MSI SEA HAWK for yourself.

What can DLSS do for your gaming

By teaming up with world renowned video game developers, NVIDIA developed DLSS which taps into the power of a deep learning neural network that boosts frame rates and generates beautiful, sharp images for your games. AI rendering on dedicated Tensor Cores gives you incredible performance, pushing up frame rates and giving you the headroom needed to maximize graphics settings and resolution, even up to 8K.

And the image quality enhancements are totally under your control. Choose the settings you want for the gaming experience you want. Focus the Tensor Core’s horsepower and AI on different areas of graphics performance, controlling the rendering resolution versus frame rate boosting. DLSS brings PC gaming to a level you can’t get in any other gaming format. And it’s available in a variety of games from the biggest blockbusters like Cyberpunk 2077 and Fortnite to indie favorites like Pumpkin Jack, with new games being released regularly.

PC games compatible with DLSS

For example, Nvidia teamed up with Activision, Raven Software, and Infinity Ward to bring four DLSS options to Call of Duty: Warzone so you can find the perfect balance between image quality and performance. DLSS maintains native image quality while including the significant performance boost—up to 70% at 4K—that DLSS users have come to expect. The extra performance enables higher graphical settings and higher resolutions. The RTX 3060 and higher deliver 100 FPS at 1440p, and enables over 100 FPS at 4K resolution on the RTX 3060 Ti and higher.

  1. I would dive in head first to Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance. I have been a fan of Drizzt and the Companions of the Hall since I was 14…I am now 32. They have been with me in times of pain at the death of my grandmother; of joy after I got home from prom; of sadness when I moved to a new city and didn’t know anyone; and their strife has always been a source of inspiration to me. I always have fun imagining what they look like and to be able to now see the mind of R.A. Salvatore come to life and to be able to play my favourite characters is beyond surreal.

    That is what I would use this card for.

  2. Cyberpunk 2077 on that killer 3080 would be awesome! I just ordered parts for a new build but can’t buy a 3000 series card so this would be perfect.

  3. I would love to play Battlefield 2042 with the MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR. Explosion, special effetcs, tornadoes etc. It would be amazing!

  4. I’m looking to build a pc and this would be perfect to play destiny 2 as well as the new battlefield 2042 that is coming out.

  5. Dirt V is probably one of the most underwhelming ray tracing implementations. I love playing the best – hate mediocre games

  6. JX3 is an HD remake of the original JX3 from 2009. It’s another martial-arts-themed MMO straight out of China, I love that culture

  7. I would love to play Cyberpunk 2077 with the MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR at Ultra graphic option.

  8. I would love to play Cyberpunk 2077 by using MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR, because it is a interesting game

  9. I would love to play Sims 4 because my current computer is slow and it becomes very frustrating playing games that take a lot of memory!

  10. Fallout 4 or Sims 4, they both run terribly on my computer with mods. And someone who has played either, you need mods to fix some of the bugs EA and Bethesdsa have “forgotten” to fix.

  11. I would love to play Red dead redemption 2 with the MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR with DLSS. It is such a gorgeous cinematic game and I would love to crank up those setting then use DLSS to give me those buttery smooth framerates when I’m shooting people from my horse!

  12. I would love to use this MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR to play Cyberpunk 2077 as my PS4 wasn’t able to play it very well.

  13. Dirt V is probably one of the most underwhelming ray tracing implementations. I love having top technology making my games pop for me.

  14. Control is a striking game with or without ray tracing, but its lighting and reflections look hauntingly otherworldly. I would love to have that haunting look.
