DLSS Coming To Hunt: Showdown 1896 & Level Zero: Extraction (2024)

FAQs

Is Hunt Showdown 1896 a new game? ›

Prowling the tortured peaks of the brand-new Colorado map, Mammon's Gulch, players face off against this game changing new threat in 'Hunt: Showdown 1896,' launching to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on August 15th.

NVIDIA® DLSS works by using machine learning models to upscale lower-resolution images in real-time. These models are trained on high-resolution images, allowing them to generate higher-quality visuals while maintaining a stable frame rate.

DLSS uses the power of NVIDIA's supercomputers to train and regularly improve its AI model. The latest models are delivered to your GeForce RTX PC through Game Ready Drivers. Tensor Cores then use their teraFLOPS of dedicated AI horsepower to run the DLSS AI network in real time.

Load the game, go to Options --> Graphics, and enable NVIDIA DLSS. Select the NVIDIA DLSS quality level. Quality Mode is recommended for 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, and Performance Mode for 3840x2160. If your resolution differs from the examples, pick the closest setting.

Hunt: Showdown was originally in development at Crytek USA, who wished to create a spiritual successor to Darksiders—a video game series developed by their predecessor, Vigil Games—under the title Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age. It was envisioned to be a cooperative multiplayer game.

Hunt: Showdown is a battle royale, King of the Hill, Survival horror fps amalgamation that features intense violence, intimidating and uncanny enemies, suffocating atmosphere, and rather intense gore (albeit very detached from human forms, as its mostly zombies and monsters barely akin to humans).

Though, it will take some time for it to appear in a large number of games. The key takeaway is this: DLSS can drastically improve a game's performance and, in some situations, can slightly improve image quality. Given these benefits, DLSS should be used as frequently as possible.

DLSS is a form of machine learning that uses an AI model to analyze in-game frames and construct new ones—either at higher resolution or in addition to the existing frames. It uses Supersampling to sample a frame at a lower resolution, then uses that sample to construct a higher resolution frame.

DLSS can boost your frame rates but at the cost of some fine detail. The effect becomes more noticeable as the starting resolution is lowered.

When you enable DLSS or FSR, the internal resolution is lowered and upscaled. This, in theory, increases FPS, but this load is moved to the CPU because the GPU doesn't have to work as hard to pump more pixels, the CPU needs to work harder to render those FPS the GPU asks, the result being more CPU usage.

How do I activate DLSS on RTX? ›

Enable “NVIDIA RTX” in the Video options menu, select a “Ray Tracing” detail level, and turn on “DLSS” (a game restart may be required). Note, that the DLSS box will automatically turn itself off if it is not available for your GPU, resolution, and ray tracing setting, as outlined above.

If you don't see DLSS, then you may first have to select an upscale method. Toggle through the upscale options until you get to Nvidia DLSS, then you should be able to select DLSS and its presets. The three common preset options here are DLSS Performance, Balanced, and Quality.

Frame Settings

To enable ray tracing by default: Open the Project Settings window (menu: Edit > Project Settings), then select the HDRP Default Settings tab. Select Camera from the Default Frame Settings For drop-down. In the Rendering section, enable Ray Tracing.

Release 1.0 for Steam and Xbox One: August 27th, 2019. Release 1.0 for PS4: February 18th 2020.

The Book of Monsters is a lore book in Hunt: Showdown. Players unlock lore entries by reaching tiers of kill thresholds for each enemy type that prowls the bayou. In addition to the lore entries, players are rewarded with small amounts of blood bonds which can be claimed when they reach a new kill threshold.

Explanation: The 'game' that the boys play after the hunt in William Golding's Lord of the Flies is a ritualistic reenactment of the hunt where the boys simulate the killing of a pig. They form a circle around one of the boys, pretending he is the pig, and chant while they pretend to stab him.

The world of Hunt: Showdown is set in 1895 in an alternate history of our world, where paranormal events of various magnitudes are a semi-regular occurrence all over the globe.
