Samsung TV - Gaming with a NVIDIA graphics card

With the new NVIDIA Geforce RTX 30 Series graphics card, you can use your PC and Smart TV together to experience high-resolution gaming. The Geforce RTX 30 Series graphics card supports HDMI 2.1, which features 4K resolution at 120 FPS, and 8K resolution at 60 FPS. The graphics card also uses a variable refresh rate and G-Sync compatibilities for streamlined gaming.

Note: The provided information refers to Samsung Smart TVs sold in Canada. The available settings and options may differ for devices sold in other countries. Your Smart TV must support HDMI 2.1 technology to use the NVIDIA RTX 30 Series graphics card.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics card supports HDMI 2.1 and can be used on Samsung Smart TVs. The card includes some extra features as well:

  • Fixed Rate Link (FRL): A signaling technology that is able to achieve higher uncompressed resolutions, including 8K. It is also able to use 48Gbps ultra high-speed bandwidth.
  • Display Stream Compression (DSC): A lossless compression algorithm that can achieve higher resolutions and faster refresh rates, such as 4K at 120FPS. It also includes greater color depths at 8K.
  • Variable Refresh Rate (VRR): VRR eliminates screen tearing for fluid, enjoyable gameplay. When combined with Fixed Rate Link and Display Stream Compression, it delivers high-resolution gaming.

A few current Samsung Smart TVs support the new HDMI 2.1 technology that is required for GeForce RTX 30 Series graphic cards.
