Report: NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Will Bring a 6x Performance Boost to RTX 50-Series GPUs
One of NVIDIA’s biggest announcements for CES 2026 is set to be revealed tomorrow, but an early leak has seemingly confirmed the launch of its new upscaling technology, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5.
This update is not just a small improvement; it’s a major step forward designed to make full path tracing gaming in 4K resolution possible at high refresh rates.
NVIDIA’s RTX 50 GPUs Promise Up to 6x More Power With AI
The leak, originally revealed by Videocardz, shows that DLSS 4.5 introduces big changes to both the Super Resolution and Frame Generation systems.
To achieve this, Super Resolution now uses a second-generation Transformer model trained on a much larger dataset. It’s been designed to handle more complex scenes with improved contextual understanding, smarter pixel sampling, and more accurate image reconstruction.
In practice, this results in better temporal stability, less ghosting, and cleaner anti-aliasing. Simply put, DLSS 4.5 tackles many of the visual problems seen in previous versions.
The most exciting feature is the new Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, which can now generate up to six AI frames for every single frame produced by the GPU. This adaptive system can dynamically adjust the number of AI-generated frames to match the monitor’s refresh rate. According to NVIDIA, this could make it possible for a GPU to run a fully path-traced game in 4K at a stable 240Hz.
DLSS 4.5 focuses on delivering extreme graphical settings without sacrificing either performance or visual quality. Internal demos reportedly show fully path-traced games reaching 240 frames per second in 4K, something that was previously unthinkable without lowering quality. Whether it truly delivers on that promise will be clear once official demos are released.
It’s also worth noting that Dynamic Multi Frame Generation will be exclusive to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs. Meanwhile, the improved Super Resolution Transformer will be available for all RTX cards. The new feature is expected to launch in spring 2026.
NVIDIA will be hosting its CES panel tomorrow, where all of this is expected to be revealed, with a demonstration.
