DLSS, or Deep Learning Super Sampling, is a smart AI-based technology designed to make games look sharp and clear while running smoothly. You’ve probably already heard about DLSS 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and even DLSS 3.5. Now, NVIDIA has unveiled its next-gen version: DLSS 4.
DLSS 4 brings the first real-time application of the transformer model architecture in the graphics industry. Another new feature, NVIDIA Reflex 2, makes games respond faster to your actions—like moving your mouse or pressing a button. According to NVIDIA, this can cut delays by up to 75%, which should be great news for competitive gamers.
It will be fully compatible with NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards: the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070, and RTX 5070 Ti. These cards use the new “Blackwell” architecture. The company says the new setup with DLSS 4 could be up to eight times faster in overall speed for playing games versus the traditional ways of rendering graphics.
Which games are compatible with DLSS 4?
More than 75 games and apps will support DLSS 4. Here are some of the biggest titles:
- Alan Wake 2
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Diablo IV
- God of War Ragnarök
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- PAYDAY 3
- Remnant II
- Star Wars Outlaws
- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
- NARAKA: BLADEPOINT
- SILENT HILL 2
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
- Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Which GPUs support DLSS 4?
DLSS 4 works with a range of NVIDIA graphics cards, though what you get depends on the card you are using:
1. GeForce RTX 50 Series: These are the newest cards and can utilize all DLSS 4 features, including Multi Frame Generation.
2. GeForce RTX 40 Series: These cards support most DLSS 4 features, including enhanced ray reconstruction, super-resolution, deep learning anti-aliasing, and improved frame generation, but not Multi Frame Generation.
3. GeForce RTX 30 and RTX 20 Series: These older cards receive limited DLSS 4 features, including improved ray reconstruction, super-resolution, and deep learning anti-aliasing. These cards will not be supported by Multi-Frame Generation and Improved Frame Generation.
For readers tracking the broader upscaling landscape, NVIDIA has also detailed its next-generation DLSS 5 rollout, including the RTX 50 Series GPUs it supports and the titles confirmed for launch.
And here are over 100 games with DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation.
