Nvidia's DLSS 4: 8X Performance Boost for GeForce RTX 50 Series
Nvidia debuted DLSS 4 at CES 2025, a significant leap forward in AI-powered graphics enhancement, exclusively for the GeForce RTX 50 Series. This revolutionary update introduces Multi-Frame Generation, capable of generating up to three additional frames per rendered frame, resulting in up to an 8X performance increase. This translates to stunning 4K gaming at 240 FPS with full ray tracing enabled.
DLSS 4 leverages cutting-edge AI, including the first real-time implementation of transformer-based models in graphics rendering. This leads to superior image quality, improved temporal stability, and a reduction in visual artifacts. The technology also boasts a 30% reduction in VRAM usage thanks to new AI models that are 40% faster at frame generation. Hardware improvements like Flip Metering and enhanced Tensor Cores contribute to smoother frame pacing and higher-resolution support.
This performance boost isn't limited to new titles. DLSS 4 offers backward compatibility. At launch, 75 games will support Multi-Frame Generation, and over 50 will integrate the new transformer-based AI models. Major releases like Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2 will feature native support. Nvidia's application even includes an override function to enable Multi-Frame Generation and other enhancements in older DLSS-integrated games.
The combination of hardware and software innovations in Multi-Frame Generation, along with features like Ray Reconstruction and Super Resolution, delivers unprecedented visual fidelity and performance. Games like Warhammer 40,000: Darktide already showcase the benefits of reduced memory usage and increased frame rates.
