NVIDIA graphics cards come equipped with countless built-in cutting-edge features, designed for gamers, content creators, and streamers. That’s why we’ve decided to create a brand-new blog series, titled ‘NVIDIA Inside Look’. Throughout the series we’ll be taking a closer look at some NVIDIA’s ground-breaking technologies, and how they can optimise your gaming or streaming performance.
In this article, we’re showcasing NVIDIA Ansel, detailing what Ansel is and recommending our favourite Ansel compatible gaming PCs.
NVIDIA Ansel:
NVIDIA Ansel is a built-in feature that comes as a part of NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience. It is a dedicated photo mode that allows you to take professional-grade photographs of your favourite games.
Ansel will freeze your game and allow you to reposition the camera to capture optimal in-game photographs.
Any photo you take will be captured at up to 33X 1080p resolutions. They will be captured in ‘Raw’ mode with EXR. This allows you to adjust colours, levels, and even add filters to create sharper, high-res photos, with no limitations. If that’s not enough, with NVIDIA Ansel you can even capture 360° photos as either a photosphere or in VR.
NVIDIA Ansel is perfect for gamers or content creators who wish to capture and relive their favourite moments – even share them with others!
