At CES 2025, NVIDIA introduced DLSS 4, the latest version of its real-time image upscaling technology. The company announced that this technology will be available for all RTX GPUs. That even includes the RTX 20 series, which was discontinued in 2020. However, older models will not be able to benefit from all the features of DLSS 4. Here are the details…
NVIDIA DLSS 4 is coming to all RTX GPUs
DLSS 4 is billed as NVIDIA’s largest AI model upgrade ever. Also unveiled was Multi Frame Generation for the next-generation RTX 50-series GPUs. This technology can boost performance up to eight times by generating three additional frames for each traditionally rendered frame.
With this feature, NVIDIA claims that the GeForce RTX 5090 can deliver 240 FPS ray-traced gameplay at 4K resolution. It also offers DLSS 4, Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution and DLAA (Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing) technologies with more stability, less ghosting and higher detail in moving objects.
Which GPUs will have which features?
- RTX 50 series: Will take full advantage of DLSS 4 and support Multi Frame Generation.
- RTX 40 series: Supports enhanced frame rendering, beam reconstruction and super resolution technologies, but not Multi Frame Generation.
- RTX 30 and RTX 20 series: Will get enhanced ray reconstruction, super resolution and anti-aliasing, but not Multi Frame Generation.
In terms of supported games, DLSS 4 technology will be available in 75 games and applications from launch day. Games like Alan Wake 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 will be updated to support the new Multi Frame Generation feature. In addition, support for games like Black Myth: Wukong, while support for games like Doom: The Dark Ages and Dune: Awakening will support these features from the start.
