Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown has support for NVIDIA DLSS 3

NVIDIA announced that several new games will support NVIDIA DLSS 3 technology, including the soon-to-be-released Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. DLSS is a feature exclusive to NVIDIA's latest generation of graphics cards. It uses deep learning to render next-gen graphics and deliver smooth performance without losing frames per second, demanding less from your PC hardware.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is the twenty-first installment in the Test Drive series and the third in the reboot titled Unlimited. The second game, Test Drive Unlimited 2, was released in 2011. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown was announced in 2020 with an initially planned release in 2022, but it was delayed twice and is now confirmed to launch on September 12, 2024. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is an open-world racing game set in a 1:1 recreation of Hong Kong, and the game has an ambitious post-launch roadmap.

As the release of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown draws near, NVIDIA announced that the game will be compatible with DLSS 3, alongside other titles like Akimbo, Death Sprint 66, and EVOTINCTION. The technology aims to bring a higher framerate to the games it's applied to, and considering the demanding system requirements that Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is asking for, it couldn't have come at a better time. For context, publisher Nacon revealed on the official website that the game will require a 24 GB GeForce RTX 4090 to run at 60 FPS, currently the best GPU on the market.
