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.

  2. Entered using my Instagram. @macaulaybrent

    Would absolutely love a 3080 to play cyberpunk maxed at 4k with dlss, and to enjoy more of my games with dlss. Would also definitely get me start in making another system for my children to play with me.

  3. I would love to try playing Mortal Shell with the MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR to see what DLSS enhancements woud bring to the table. I have been playing it a lot recently and would like to see what kind of performance and visual enhancements that DLSS would bring to the table over what is rendered by my current video card.

  8. I would play cyberpunk 2077 because of the great story line, unique characters and amazing graphics/effects.

  10. This is totally overkill but i wonder what kind of crazy frames this monster is gonna be able to pump out in Minecraft and Rust.

  12. when it comes to the latest and greatest in ray tracing, what better game to test it out on than quake 2! haha

  14. I’m all for battlefield 2042, need something that will actually run the game and not have my computer crash.

  15. I know it might sound ridiculous, but I think I would resort back to a classic, Minecraft. Ray-tracing has recently been implemented into the game and I am finally in a position where I can actually consider building a gaming PC. I first started playing Minecraft more than a decade ago and although I have played many games since, I have never put more time into any other game. Don’t get me wrong, I would absolutely love to try out some newer, more visually stunning games, but it would just feel right to revisit my beginning.

  16. For me it would be Death Stranding, I’ve enjoyed the story of that game so much yes some say it’s a walking simulator but watching the game being played by someone else doesn’t make it justice. The combination of great environments, atmosphere with the right music, let’s not forget a very complex and interesting story and 7 hours of cinematic! Makes this one of my favorite games and it as to be enjoyed with the latest and greatest rig to get all the features like DLSS, hope I can win this!

  22. Shadow of the Tomb Raider because I’ve seen this played on my friends setup and it is so awesome with the right graphics card.

  27. Rust and Bf2042 It’d be super nice to have a Upgrade! i chose these games because i can barely run them now and it would be an amazing upgrade.

  30. Cyberpunk and maybe revisit Witch 3 with graphics maxed… it was a pretty game but at the time there wasn’t much that could run it fully maxed.

  31. There are so many different games I want to play. The 2 at the top of that list have to be back 4 blood and Battlefield 2042 when it comes out. Playing these games with DLSS on will look so visually stunning and run so smoothly especially with a RTX 3080. I chose back 4 blood because I love how it incorporates teamwork and working toward a main objective which you dont see in many zombie games. I chose Battlefield 2042 because EA’s DICE studio always make an amazing and fun multiplayer (ex. Battlefront 2), I also love how it incorporates a new gun attachment system allowing players to change their attachments in game. It is studios that innovate like this that love the most because they aren’t just copying what has already been done.

  33. If i won the MSI GeForce RTX 3080 SEA HAWK, the first game i would Play with DLSS would be Cyberpunk 2077. I can only imagine how amazing Night City With raytracing would look and to get more fps because of DLSS!

  47. definitely gonna use it in COD cold wars. I can’t wait to join my friends who’s got their hands on new gpus to be able to play the game at high fps and settings.
