NVIDIA claims high-end cards give you an edge in battle royale games

In a new article published at its website, NVIDIA claims its video cards can give you an edge in battle royale games. In a nutshell, the video card maker claims a higher FPS, lower end-to-end latency, a higher refresh rate and some of its technologies can help you to achieve a higher kill-to-death (K/D) ratio.

The full article contains various charts with interesting data points. NVIDIA claims that regardless of skill level, a higher-end video card will help you reach your full potential thanks to the highest FPS and lowest latency.

What’s interesting here is that having a better graphics card helped at all levels of play time, whether you only play a few hours a week, or are a Battle Royale veteran. In fact, in the chart we see that the gap between GeForce GTX 1050/Ti users and GeForce GTX 1080/Ti users expands as hours played per week increase, which means that players with more hours played appear to benefit even more from having a better GPU. This data aligned with what we observed in our lab research -- the higher the skill level, the more that players are attuned to the game and can benefit from differences in hardware.
