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. Darn, Goat Simulator isn’t on the list. Ok, then I’ll go with Cyberpunk 2077. I’ve been excited to play this since it was first announced many years ago, when people predicted that it would require an incredibly powerful machine to even run it. Which I definitely do not have now, so winning this high end video card would help with the playability.

  2. Would love to see the graphical enhancements to Red Redemption II that would come from using the MSI GeForce RTX

  3. I Would love to be able to play Cyberpunk in all its beauty if I won this GPU! But my friend really needs a rig right now as her laptop is failing so I’d also be like to help her out if I could. A streamer can’t do much streaming if their rig fails.

  4. I would love to play Minecraft with the MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR because Minecraft has been a game that I play to help relax when things get too overwhelming and on top of that I’ve had tons of friends tell me how amazing the game would look and how much I would love the benefits of an upgrade like this once I finally get to upgrade to a proper pc :3

  5. If I had a MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR I would love to play Crysis, because I would finally have a video card capable of playing Crysis.

  6. I would love to play Battlefield 2042 with the MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR I expect newer games will require a lot more VRAM, especially a game like 2042, so I think DLSS will cut down those requirements a significant amount.

  7. I would realy love to play battlefield 2042 with the MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR when it comes in november !! i could finally use the full 4K on my screen with DLSS to help my frame rates !

  8. I would definite use it to play Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt. My graphics card is really old and would otherwise not be able to play it.

  9. I would love to use the MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR video card to play Cyberpunk. I was super hyped when it was teased a while back – being able to play it with all graphics options to the max would be awesome!

  10. I’d love to play Call of Duty Warzone with this graphics card because I know it would be absolutely amazing.

  11. Battlefield 2042 I am a huge fan of Battlefield 2142 and 2042 is the closest a battlefield game has come since!!
    Also Cyberpunk 2077 my current card just cant handle these games and is the only thing in my system holding me back!
    Then Minecraft with some raytacing and dlss would be pretty cool for my kids!

  12. Control! Basically the Matrix; ripping a room to bits and projecting it at enemies – what’s not to like. I have been waiting almost a year year to buy a card to play it.

  13. I would play Minecraft, COD, and Rust for sure! My current graphics card, I would normally play on low or medium settings just so I don’t lag as much, but with this Graphics Card? It would DEFINITELY make my gaming experience better!

    • To be completely honest, this would provide a great upgrade for me but I have a friend who I met online over a year ago who has helped me through some of the most difficult times of my life so far. This man is raising 3 children and working his butt off to keep them fed clothed and warm. I would 100% be passing this on to him because he deserves it more than anyone I can think of. Plus it would finally allow him to stop using an old 970!

  14. Cyberpunk 2077 would be my choice. My current video card is just not up to the task. would love to play this game as it was intended.

    Thanks for the contest opportunity!

  15. Crysis Remastered: Because I want to see what framerates I can get at 4K with the new DLSS technology.

  16. I would love to play Battlefield 2042 with the MSI GeForce RTX™ 3080 SEA HAWK X 10G LHR. with low latency thanks to NVIDIA Reflex and blazing fast frame rates without sacrificing image quality thanks to DLSS this game would be so amazing.
