Most PC games launch with DLSS support, and according to NVIDIA over 80% of GeForce RTX owners are gaming with DLSS enabled to boost performance.

Nvidia's DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation promises to transform gaming with major performance and visual upgrades for GeForce RTX 50 GPUs.

DLSS—or Deep Learning Super Sampling, to give it its full title—is Nvidia's upscaling technology used to deliver higher frame rates for our PC games (mostly because ray tracing sucked them down), and single-handedly kicked off the upscaling revolution that is now demanded of every single GPU and games console maker across the planet.

Now let's dive into the most important aspects of Blackwell. There's both good and bad here. The GeForce RTX 5090 is outrageously expensive, as expected, priced at $2,000. Meanwhile, the RTX 5080, with half the GPU hardware, is priced at $1,000 – less extreme than many rumors suggested, though still quite expensive.

During the Nvidia Editor's Day at CES, the company gave attendees an early look at the architecture changes, AI optimizations, and performance expectations of the RTX 50-series GPUs. That's where DLSS 4 comes in.

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.

NVIDIA's RTX 5000 range of graphics cards pack a huge punch. But one of the biggest improvements of the new GPU range is the addition of DLSS 4, which promises better frame generation and upscaling to make your games feel as native as possible.
