In January 2026, at the CES International Consumer Electronics Show, NVIDIA officially took the wraps off its DLSS 4.5 technology. This innovative tech incorporates a second-generation Transformer model to fine-tune the super-resolution algorithm. It's compatible with all RTX series graphics cards, marking a substantial leap in image quality. When it comes to detail rendering and dynamic scene stability, it far outstrips its predecessors.
Test results reveal that in DLSS 4.5's Quality Mode, "Red Dead Redemption 2" showcases terrain textures and grass details that even outdo those at native resolution. However, leaf rendering falls a bit short. Moreover, DLSS 4.5 brings in a brand-new 6x multi-frame generation and dynamic frame generation feature, which is exclusive to the RTX 50 series. This feature can automatically tweak frame rate multipliers, ensuring a seamless 4K 240Hz+ gaming experience. Gamers eager to sample this super-resolution technology can do so by updating to driver version 591.74. The full multi-frame generation feature, on the other hand, is set to roll out in spring 2026.
