Nvidia Unveils DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation for Next-Gen GPUs
The new AI-powered feature promises smoother gameplay and enhanced performance, but its benefits and limitations vary across hardware generations.
- Nvidia announced DLSS 4 as part of its new RTX 50-series GPUs, introducing Multi-Frame Generation to significantly boost frame rates.
- Unlike DLSS 3, which interpolated intermediate frames, DLSS 4 predicts future frames using AI for smoother gameplay with reduced latency issues.
- The new Multi-Frame Generation feature is exclusive to RTX 50-series GPUs and can generate up to four AI-driven frames, increasing performance by up to eight times compared to traditional rendering.
- DLSS 4 updates its AI model for improved upscaling, ray tracing, and image quality, which will benefit all RTX GPUs starting from the RTX 20 series.
- While DLSS 4's headline features require new hardware, older GPUs will still see improvements in image quality through updated AI models and easier version switching.
