Pro několik titulů přichystala Nvidia také vylepšení kvality obrazu: v Diablu III a Modern Warfare 3 si nově budete moci vychutnat ambient occlusion. V již zmíněném Skyrimu, který už podporu AO má, bude tento efekt stát méně výkonu.
Kromě Mass Effectu 3 se SLI profilu dočkalo několik dalších z nejnovějších herních pecek, jmenovitě například Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, F1 2011, Red Faction: Armageddon nebo Trine 2. Přibyly také desítky profilů pro 3D Vision.
