The next generation of DLSS 4 upscaling technology has made significant strides. According to recent tests, DLSS 4 performance mode offers superior image quality compared to DLSS 3.8 quality mode.
Comparison of Popular Games
MxBenchmarkPC’s comparison video showcases several popular titles, including Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, STALKER 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Horizon Forbidden West, all running at 1440p. The improvement is especially notable in God of War Ragnarok at the 7:10 mark, where the fine details on the spear Draupnir appear significantly sharper with DLSS 4 in Performance mode.
Advancements in Technology
This substantial increase in image quality is attributed to the new Transformer model, compatible with all NVIDIA RTX graphics cards. However, Multi Frame Generation technology will be exclusive to the RTX 50 series. Early tests in Cyberpunk 2077 demonstrate that the RTX 5080 can achieve over 120 frames per second in 4K with path tracing, thanks to the new frame generator.
Conclusion
Despite upscaling from a lower base resolution, DLSS 4 delivers exceptional image quality and detail, marking a significant advancement in upscaling technology.
Nice, but which GPU supports it?
