US EditionNvidia DLSS 4.5 Improved Visuals Come at a 20%+ Performance Cost on RTX 30 and RTX 20 GPUs
DLSS 4.5 introduces six-times frame generation and a second-generation Transformer model exclusive to RTX 50-series, improving AI precision and image quality, Nvidia said.
- Nvidia announced DLSS 4.5 at its CES presentation, introducing six-times frame generation for RTX 40-series and 50-series GPUs.
- The update follows Nvidia's shift to Transformer AI, with DLSS 4.5 using a newer Transformer model to preserve detail and sharpen edges after DLSS 4 introduced the first Transformer AI model.
- For developers, Nvidia added NVFP8 and NVFP4 precision formats, offering up to 60% data savings and immediate AI workload use, plus RTX Remix Logic, releasing in January.
- The company warned that the transformer model's restriction to RTX 50‑series GPUs creates a capability split that could significantly affect GeForce graphics card owners, and DLSS 4.5 won't be ready until spring.
- Nvidia also teased fixes for anti‑aliasing and ghosting, promising Performance mode quality rivaling native and Ultra Performance mode now viable for 4K, plus a dynamic frame rate multiplier tool.
