Nvidia's DLSS 4: 8X Performance Boost with Multi-Frame Generation
Nvidia has unveiled DLSS 4 at CES 2025, a significant leap forward in AI-powered graphics technology, exclusively for the GeForce RTX 50 Series. This update introduces Multi-Frame Generation, promising up to an 8X performance increase.
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) uses AI to upscale lower-resolution images, improving visual quality and frame rates. DLSS 4 builds upon this foundation, leveraging new AI models and hardware optimizations to generate multiple frames simultaneously. This innovative approach reduces VRAM usage by 30% while significantly boosting performance. The incorporation of transformer-based AI models further enhances image quality, resulting in greater temporal stability and fewer visual artifacts.
Multi-Frame Generation: The Key Innovation
Multi-Frame Generation's efficiency stems from a combination of advanced hardware and software. New AI models accelerate frame generation by 40%, optimizing rendering processes and reducing computational overhead. Hardware improvements, including Flip Metering and upgraded Tensor Cores, ensure smooth frame pacing and high-resolution support. Games like Warhammer 40,000: Darktide already showcase the benefits of these advancements with faster frame rates and reduced memory usage. DLSS 4 also integrates Ray Reconstruction and Super Resolution, utilizing vision transformers for superior detail and stability, particularly in ray-traced scenes.
Backward Compatibility and Wide Game Support
The enhancements in DLSS 4 are backward compatible, benefiting both current and future RTX users. At launch, 75 games will support Multi-Frame Generation, and over 50 will integrate the new transformer-based AI models. Major titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2 will have native support, with more to come. Nvidia's application includes an Override feature to enable Multi-Frame Generation and other improvements for older DLSS integrations.
