Nvidia has announced that its latest Nvidia GeForce GPU will be focused on the demands of virtual reality technology.

The GTX 980 Ti GPU will support DirectX 12 and will able to run 4K resolutions, as one would expect, but it will also be able to handle VR at 2160×1200 and 90Hz without any latency. It has half the VRAM as the Titan, but Nvidia stated it will match the performance.

Alongside the arrival of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti is the GameWorks VR dev kit. An alpha release of the dev kit is already in the hands of some of the industry's biggest developers and includes the following features:

NVIDIA Multi-Res Shading (MRS) - An innovative new rendering technique for VR. With NVIDIA MRS, each part of an image is rendered at a resolution that better matches the pixel density of the final displayed VR image. This technology uses the multi-projection architecture of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti GPU to render multiple viewports in a single pass.
VR SLI - Provides increased performance for VR apps. Multiple GPUs can be assigned a specific eye to dramatically accelerate stereo rendering. With the GPU affinity application programming interface, VR SLI allows scaling for PCs with two or more GPUs.
Context Priority - Enables control over GPU scheduling to support advanced VR features such as asynchronous time warp. This cuts latency and quickly adjusts images as gamers move their heads, without the need to re-render a new frame.
Direct Mode - Delivers plug-and-play compatibility for VR headsets. With Direct Mode, the NVIDIA graphics driver recognizes the headset as a VR display rather than a standard desktop monitor, providing a more seamless user experience.
Front Buffer Rendering - Lets the GPU to render directly to the front buffer to reduce latency.
