NVIDIA Showcase: Dishonored 2 hits PC packing next-gen visual flourishes

Nvidia Dishonored 2

PCGamesN Nvidia Showcase posts are created in partnership with Nvidia.

Bethesda Softworks and Arkane Studios’ stealth-infused action epic, Dishonored 2, arrives on PC this week with a gripping new storyline set fifteen years after the conclusion of the first game where a deadly usurper threatens the throne of the Empress Emily Kaldwin. 

The anticipated sequel boasts a slew of all-new gameplay features including the freedom to tackle missions either aggressively or stealthily as Dishonored 2’s duo of playable protagonists, Corvo Attano and Emily Kaldwin.

The PC edition of Dishonored 2 also launches today with a variety of advanced graphical technologies and enhancements designed to take advantage of systems equipped with high-end GPUs such as a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 or GTX 1070.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX-exclusive visual features built into Dishonored 2 include TXAA anti-aliasing for superior image quality that leverages MSAA multisample anti-aliasing, post processes, and NVIDIA-designed temporal filters. Additionally, the game supports HBAO+ for richer, and more authentically realistic shadows and lighting and NVIDIA Ansel, the later of which allows PC users to capture stunning 360-degree screenshots in-game and then tweak those shots with post-process filters.

In addition to having the recommended GPU—a GTX 1060 or above—you can ensure you’re getting the best possible performance and visual quality with GeForce Experience (download it free) installed on your rig.
