NVIDIA is advancing DLSS once again with the release of DLSS 4, featuring DLSS Multi Frame Generation for GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards and laptops. With the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 out now, NVIDIA is also releasing a new GeForce Game Ready Driver and NVIDIA Studio driver, as well as a major NVIDIA app update.
This week, DLSS 4 introduces some major upgrades, including the biggest upgrade to its AI models since the release of DLSS 2.0 in 2020 – DLSS Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, and DLAA are now powered by the graphics industry’s first real-time application of ‘transformers,’ the same advanced architecture powering frontier AI models as ChatGPT, Flux, and Gemini. DLSS transformer models improve image quality with improved temporal stability, less ghosting, and higher detail in motion.
The DLSS Frame Generation AI model is also upgraded, boosting performance and reducing VRAM use on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs.
Meanwhile, DLSS Multi Frame Generation generates up to three additional frames per traditionally rendered frame, working in unison with the complete suite of DLSS technologies to multiply frame rates by up to 8X over traditional brute-force rendering. This massive performance improvement unlocks stunning 4K 240 FPS fully ray-traced gaming on GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards.
DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation is available now in over 75 games and apps, and many more games and apps support other DLSS enhancements.
Remedy Entertainment’s critically acclaimed Alan Wake 2 is one of the best-looking and most immersive games released to date. Today, GeForce RTX gamers can experience Alan Wake 2, published by Epic Games, with additional visual refinements, higher levels of detail, new DLSS 4 AI models, and even faster performance thanks to DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. It also introduces the first-ever integration of NVIDIA RTX Mega Geometry and adds an ultra-quality ray tracing preset.
CD PROJEKT RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most technologically advanced games available. It already features full ray tracing to render the rich open world of Night City in even greater detail, and today PC players can download a new Cyberpunk 2077 update that upgrades the game’s DLSS implementation to DLSS 4. DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation works with DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Ray Reconstruction to multiply performance on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs by 9.2X on average at 4K, with the fully ray-traced RT Overdrive Mode enabled, and all settings maxed out. Additionally, DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Ray Reconstruction are upgraded for all GeForce RTX owners.
A new Hogwarts Legacy update is available to download now, upgrading the PC edition’s ray-traced effects, and adding NVIDIA’s full suite of DLSS 4 technologies to the critically acclaimed, best-selling open-world action-RPG, set in the 1800s in and around the famous Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. DLSS Multi Frame Generation, with DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Ray Reconstruction, multiplies frame rates on GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards by 4X on average, compared to traditional brute-force rendering. DLSS Super Resolution and DLAA are enhanced through the update to our new transformer-based AI model, and DLSS Ray Reconstruction is introduced.
With the release of a new update that’s coming soon, Star Wars Outlaws gets even better on all GeForce RTX PCs with the addition of DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, an upgraded DLSS Frame Generation model for improved performance and reduced VRAM usage, and the new DLSS transformer AI model for DLSS Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, and DLAA.
id Software’s dark fantasy/sci-fi single-player, action FPS prequel, DOOM: The Dark Ages delivers the searing combat and over-the-top visuals of the incomparable DOOM franchise, powered by the latest idTech engine. The third installment of the modern DOOM series will launch on May 15th, inviting players to step into the blood-stained boots of the DOOM Slayer, in this never-before-seen dark and sinister medieval war against Hell. On a GeForce RTX 50 Series PC or laptop, players can experience DOOM: The Dark Ages enhanced with DLSS 4. By incorporating the new DLSS transformer AI model, other features like DLSS Ray Reconstruction, DLSS Super Resolution, and DLAA image quality will be enhanced – plus, DLSS Multi Frame Generation will ensure GeForce RTX 50 Series gamers can enjoy these effects with smoother frame rates and increased detail levels and resolutions.
Spider-Men, Peter Parker, and Miles Morales return in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, an exciting new adventure in the critically acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise. Developed by Insomniac Games in collaboration with Marvel, and optimised for PC by Nixxes Software, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC features day-one support for DLSS, DLAA and Reflex, and includes three ray-traced effects. DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation will be available in a future update.
On February 4, the long-awaited Kingdom Come: Deliverance II launches. Published by PLAION, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II picks up where its predecessor left off, thrusting players into the shoes of Henry, the steadfast son of a blacksmith, embroiled in a tumultuous tale of vengeance, betrayal, and self-discovery. From the moment Kingdom Come: Deliverance II launches, GeForce RTX gamers can elevate their experience with DLSS Super Resolution, boosting frame rates for even greater immersion in its stunning 15th-century open world. NVIDIA app users can upgrade DLSS Super Resolution to our new, even better DLSS 4 transformer AI model to further enhance image quality and activate DLAA.
Black Myth: Wukong, Marvel Rivals, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will add DLSS Multi Frame Generation soon.
With the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 out now, owners will need to download and install our new GeForce Game Ready Driver from NVIDIA app or GeForce.com. NVIDIA’s new driver also adds support for new technologies, RTX game updates, new NVIDIA app features, and more:

Finally, NVIDIA app is an essential companion for users with NVIDIA GPUs on their PCs and laptops. NVIDIA is releasing major NVIDIA app updates.
In games and apps that have yet to update to DLSS 4 or add native support for DLSS Multi Frame Generation, NVIDIA app users can activate DLSS 4 overrides to enhance image quality on all GeForce RTX GPUs, unlock DLSS Multi Frame Generation for GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, and more. As new DLSS and RTX games and updates are released, NVIDIA will be tracking support for NVIDIA app overrides on the RTX Games and Apps list.
Millions have used the NVIDIA Broadcast app to turn offices and dorm rooms into home studios using AI-powered features that improve audio and video quality, without needing expensive, specialised equipment. Now, in the Discover section of the NVIDIA app Home tab or from NVIDIA.com, users can now download a new NVIDIA Broadcast update adding two new AI-powered beta effects. The first, Studio Voice, enhances a user’s microphone sound quality. The other, Virtual Key Light, relights the subject to deliver even lighting, as if a physical key light was defining the form and dimension of the individual. Because they harness demanding AI models, these new beta features are recommended for video conferencing or non-gaming livestreams using a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU or higher.
The NVIDIA app development team has converted, accelerated, and modernised two additional features from the NVIDIA Control Panel in this new release, with more on the way in the future. Advanced Optimus enables a laptop to dynamically switch between using the GeForce GPU and integrated graphics. When performing basic tasks like word processing, the integrated processor is used. When GPU-accelerated apps or games are launched, Advanced Optimus switches to the GeForce GPU to maximise performance, to take advantage of high refresh rate displays, and to enable G-SYNC.
NVIDIA Smooth Motion is a new driver-based AI model that delivers smoother gameplay by inferring an additional frame between two rendered frames. For games without Frame Generation, NVIDIA Smooth Motion is a new option for enhancing gamers’ experience on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs.
