This can be seen very clearly in a new RTX 5090 gaming test, in which the behemoth flagship couldn’t even maintain an average of 30 frames per second (fps) in Cyberpunk 2077 at maximum settings when DLSS was toggled off.

The first of NVIDIA's RTX 5000 GPUs is expected at the end of January, and the company has released details surrounding non-DLSS performance. Here's what you need to know.

That's where DLSS 4 comes in. With the latest iteration of Nvidia's frame generation technology, you'll be able to game in 4K with frame rates over 200 fps. Of course, you're relying on software performance to generate all of those additional frames rather than pure silicon, and not all games offer DLSS 4 support.

Nvidia has provided some more concrete performance estimates for its upcoming RTX 50-series graphics cards without DLSS turned on.

Honestly, I'm not sure, at least regarding the wallet-busting RTX 5080 or 5090 for now. While we’re still awaiting actual performance results, there's a strong chance that DLSS 4 will prove to be a massive benefit to the older GPUs.

Nvidia’s big RTX 5070 claim is all based on its latest generation of DLSS. “Impossible without artificial intelligence,” admits Huang after promising that the RTX 5070 can deliver RTX 4090 levels of performance. DLSS 4 has a new Multi Frame Generation technique that can generate up to three additional frames per every traditionally rendered frame.

As the RTX 50-series is right around the corner, it's almost time to bid farewell to some of Nvidia's most popular GPUs.

Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), a suite of neural rendering technologies that NVIDIA continues to describe as being "revolutionary," using AI to boost FPS, reduce latency, and improve image quality since its introduction alongside the GeForce RTX 20 Series in 2019,

Now that Nvidia’s RTX 50 series GPUs are official, the graphics giant is applying some of its new tech to its older-generation GPUs. Much of the RTX 50’s capabilities come from its hardware, of course,
