NVIDIA at the CES 2018 event has introduced the new
GeForce Freestyle; a new feature that allows you to customize your gameplay,
and an updated user interface for NVIDIA Ansel. The company also announced that
it is finally rolling out GeForce NOW beta.
The NVIDIA GeForce Freestyle allows you to apply
post-processing filters to games while you play. Right from the in-game
overlay, you can change the look and mood of your game with tweaks to color or
saturation, or apply dramatic post-process filters. At the time of the launch,
the company has made available a total of 15 filters with 38 different
settings.
It also includes a new colorblind mode making it
easier for colorblind gamers to differentiate between colors and a night mode
that reduces the blue color. The Freestyle is integrated at the driver level
for better compatibility with games and the company is rolling out the
Freestyle game filters beta with support for over 100 game titles.
NVIDIA has also mentioned that starting from January
10th, Fortnite Battle Royale gets ShadowPlay Highlights which automatically
captures your gaming achievements in videos and screenshots. The company has
also updated the Ansel user interface and has added eight new filters and the
ability to combine multiple filters.
The updated Ansel brings the ability to compose
shots from virtually any camera position, adjust with post-process filters,
capture HDR images in high-fidelity formats and share your screenshots in 360
degrees via your smartphone, PC or VR headset. The Ansel photo mode features
will be available in beta on January 9.
On the other hand, the company is also rolling out
the GeForce NOW beta compatible with most Windows-based desktops and laptops.
It is also adding support for digital stores including Uplay PC, Ubisoft’s PC
games portal. The GeForce Now connects to Windows and macOS computers to
supercomputers in the cloud, streaming 1080p graphics at up to 120 frames per
second.
The GeForce NOW app has been localized in French and
German, with local language support. The beta testing is currently in waitlist,
but you can access Beta access from here.
