At CES 2026, Nvidia introduced its new upscaling technology DLSS 4.5 with the optimized Transformer AI model 2.0, which is designed to deliver more frames per second in better quality on all Geforce RTX cards.
During its keynote at CES 2026, Nvidia also presented its latest upscaling technology DLSS 4.5, among other things. With its once again optimized Transformer AI model of the 2nd generation, this should ensure more frames per second in better quality and that on all Geforce RTX. It supports Geforce RTX 2000 ("Turing"), 3000 ("Ampere"), 4000 ("Ada Lovelace") as well as the current Geforce RTX 5000 ("Blackwell"). All RTX generations benefit accordingly from the latest upscaling technology, which should be especially pleasing to existing customers with older RTX graphics cards.
DLSS 4.5 Transformer AI model 2.0 for even more quality
The advanced architecture of the new optimized neural network, the 2nd generation Transformer AI model ("2nd Gen Transformer"), which replaced the Convolutional Neural Network ("CNN") in its first generation, uses intra-attention and global context to produce sharper details and significantly reduce artifacts such as ghosting. The second generation is expected to make further gains in temporal stability, edge smoothing and compute performance and thus deliver more Fps with improved image quality. So the reference will be expanded.

While the pure AI upsampling, the new DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, is available to all RTX graphics cards, an exclusive feature of the current Blackwell generation is also being expanded even further.
Six-fold Multi Frame Generation for Geforce RTX 5000
The multiple intermediate frame calculation, the Multi Frame Generation ("MFG"), is extended with the update to DLSS 4.5 and now has, in addition to a dynamic option that adjusts the number of intermediate frames per second based on the frames, also a six-fold intermediate frame calculation (6x mode). While three of the four frames per second have been generated by the AI so far, five out of six frames are now artificially generated.
In the dynamic multiple intermediate frame calculation, the mode is adjusted according to a previously defined target frame rate, as is also known, for example, from dynamic resolutions.
Frame rates should be increased sixfold
While the dynamic multi Frame generation ("DLSS 4.5 Dynamic") is supposed to increase the frame rate by a maximum of five times, the manufacturer benchmaks attest up to six times the frame rate of the 6x Mode. The benchmarks were performed in 4K/UHD with path tracing enabled, as Nvidia indicates in the footnotes.
While DLSS 4.5 Multi Frame Generation is reserved for the Geforce RTX 5000 and its laptop GPUs, the older Geforce RTX 4000, 3000 and 2000 also benefit from the improved feature set:
- DLSS Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing ("DLAA")
- DLSS Multi Frame Generation ("MFG")*
- DLSS Ray Reconstruction ("RR")
- DLSS Frame Generation ("FG")**
- DLSS Super Resolution ("SR")
*) Geforce RTX 5000 only. **) geforce RTX 5000 and 4000 only.
While DLSS 4.5 is now available for all Geforce RTX with the new Transformer AI model of the 2nd generation, the extended Multi Frame generation with 6x mode and dynamic mode will be made available during this spring by means of a driver update, the manufacturer concludes.
