Nvidia recently unveiled its DLSS 4, and here is everything you need to know about its features, performance, availability, and more.
Nvidia has finally unveiled its 50 series GPU lineup, which comes with the latest generation rendering technology, DLSS 4. The 50 series features the cutting-edge Blackwell Architecture, which uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) to deliver almost twice the speeds from last year’s 40 series of cards. This is a massive technological leap, both in terms of hardware and software.
The DLSS 4 uses newer technology and AI to achieve what anyone would have thought impossible a few years back. In this article, we will take an extensive look at Nvidia’s DLSS 4 feature that was revealed at the CES 2025. We will also look at its performance, the most salient features, its availability, and any other relevant details.
What is DLSS 4?
DLSS is a neural rendering technology that uses Tensor Cores in RTX cards to generate higher frames with low latency. With DLSS 4, the technology also uses AI to generate additional surrounding pixels in ray-tracing-enabled scenarios. Simply put, DLSS 4 uses AI to further enhance the higher-resolution scaling from lower-resolution inputs.
New DLSS 4 Features
Multi-frame generation is the most interesting (and important) feature of DLSS 4. This will allow the card to use AI to generate three additional frames for every single frame that is rendered. However, this feature will only be available to the new generation Blackwell architecture 50 series cards.
This frame generation will also optimize VRAM usage since frames are being produced via AI. Improved performances with fewer VRAM resources used will be the norm in the 40 and 50 series cards following its update.
DLSS 4: Performance and Availability
Depending on the game that you are playing, you will see a significant boost to the performance and an increase in frames. You can get up to 8 times better performance on the newer cards that run the AI-driven multi-frame generation methods. Cards like the RTX 5090 will be able to achieve 4k 240 FPS games in a fully ray-traced setting seamlessly.
While DLSS 4 will be available for all RTX cards including the 20 series, only the latest 50 series will boast the Multi-frame generation technology. The RTX 40 series of cards will feature a new Enhanced DLSS Frame Generation technology. On the other hand, the 20 and 30 series cards will have better Ray Tracing construction.
75 Games Will Receive DLSS 4 Support on Day Zero
DLSS 4 will launch with support for 75 games on day zero. This includes many existing games, while some of the newer ones will also be launching with this new technology.
Some of the popular titles that will feature DLSS 4 on day one of its launch are:
- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Star Wars Outlaws, Cyberpunk 2077, and others will receive native in-game support for Multi-frame generation when the 50 series GPUs launch.
- Dune: Awakening, DOOM: The Dark Ages, and Black State will launch with DLSS 4 Multi-frame generation enabled.
Some games like Black Myth: Wukong, Marvel Rivals, Naraka: Bladepoint, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and others are lined up to receive this multi-frame generation soon after the software is officially launched. You can also see other titles like Dragon Age: The Veilguard, The First Descendant, and many others in the poster. These are likely to receive the update in the upcoming months as well.
