NVIDIA Unveils DLSS 4 at CES 2025: A Leap Forward in Gaming Technology
During CES 2025, NVIDIA showcased DLSS 4, the newest iteration of its cutting-edge real-time image enhancement technology. Excitingly, support for this advanced feature will extend to all RTX GPU models, including the now-retired RTX 20 series from 2020. However, it should be noted that older GPUs may not gain access to all functionalities.
Revolutionary Multi Frame Generation in GeForce RTX 50 Series
The forthcoming GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards are now equipped with an innovative capability known as Multi Frame Generation. This groundbreaking feature is designed to create up to three supplementary frames for each traditionally rendered frame—potentially boosting frame rates by a staggering factor of eight compared to conventional rendering methods. According to NVIDIA’s claims, utilizing Multiple Frame Generation on the new GeForce RTX 5090 flagship GPU—priced at $1,999—could allow gamers to experience fully ray-traced visuals at an impressive rate of up to 240 FPS in native 4K resolution.
A Major Enhancement in AI Technology
DLSS 4 is touted as a monumental advancement in NVIDIA’s AI capabilities since the release of DLSS 2. The new version incorporates features like DLSS Ray Reconstruction and Super Resolution alongside Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing (DLAA), which are now powered by advanced architectures similar to those seen in AI systems such as ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini project. This integration promises improved visual stability over time, reduced ghosting effects during gameplay, and enhanced detail for moving objects.
Wide Support Across Games and Applications
An impressive lineup of around 75 games and applications will support DLSS 4 from its launch date. Notable titles like Alan Wake and Cyberpunk 2077 are slated for updates that enable functionality with Multi Frame Generation once the new RTX cards become available. Future releases such as Black Myth: Wukong, along with anticipated games like Doom: The Dark Ages and Dune: Awakening, will offer built-in support for this transformative feature right out of the gate.
Capabilities Differentiated Across GPU Generations
While owners of GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs won’t receive access to Multi Frame Generation, they can still benefit from other aspects provided by DLSS 4; these include upgraded frame generation techniques along with enhanced ray reconstruction abilities and deep learning anti-aliasing features. Additionally, users with GeForce RTX 30 series or 20 series graphics cards can also look forward to enjoying some elements related but distinct from this latest update.
