=== DLSS 4.0 ===

The fourth generation of [[Deep Learning Super Sampling]] (DLSS) was unveiled alongside the GeForce 50 series. DLSS 3 upscaling and frame generation was exclusive to GeForce 40 series GPUs. DLSS 4 upscaling uses a new vision [[Transformer (deep learning architecture)|transformer]]-based model for enhanced image quality with reduced ghosting and greater image stability in motion compared to the previous [[convolutional neural network]] (CNN) model.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Leadbetter |first1=Richard |date=January 7, 2025 |title=Hands-on with DLSS 4 on Nvidia's new GeForce RTX 5080 |url=https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2025-hands-on-with-dlss-4-on-nvidias-new-geforce-rtx-5080 |website=Eurogamer |language=en-GB |access-date=January 7, 2025}}</ref> DLSS 4 allows a greater number of frames to be generated and [[Frame interpolation|interpolated]] based on a single traditionally rendered frame. This form of frame generation is exclusive to the GeForce 50 series while the GeForce 40 series is limited to one interpolated frame per traditionally rendered frame. According to Nvidia, this technique will increase performance by up to 800% while retaining low latency with [[Nvidia Reflex]].<ref name=":62">{{Cite web |title=NVIDIA Blackwell GeForce RTX 50 Series Opens New World of AI Computer Graphics |url=https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-blackwell-geforce-rtx-50-series-opens-new-world-of-ai-computer-graphics |access-date=2025-01-07 |website=NVIDIA Newsroom |language=en-us}}</ref> Nvidia claims that DLSS 4's frame generation model uses 30% less video memory with the example of ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Darktide]]'' using 400MB less memory at 4K resolution with frame generation enabled.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lin |first1=Henry |last2=Burnes |first2=Andrew |date=January 6, 2025 |title=Nvidia DLSS 4 Introduces Multi Frame Generation & Enhancements For All DLSS Technologies |url=https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/dlss4-multi-frame-generation-ai-innovations/ |website=Nvidia |language=en-US |access-date=January 7, 2025}}</ref> Nvidia claims that 75 games will integrate DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation at launch, including ''[[Alan Wake 2]]'', ''[[Cyberpunk 2077]]'', ''[[Indiana Jones and the Great Circle]]'', and ''[[Star Wars Outlaws]]''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Mujtaba |first1=Hassan |date=January 6, 2025 |title=Nvidia DLSS 4 Delivers An Insane 8x Performance Boost Versus DLSS 3 With Multi Frame Generation Technology, Enhanced Upscaling For RTX 20 & Above |url=https://wccftech.com/nvidia-dlss-4-8x-faster-dlss-3-multi-frame-generation-enhanced-upscaling-rtx-20-above/ |website=Wccftech |language=en-US |access-date=January 7, 2025}}</ref>

It will feature AI-based Multi Frame Generation to boost frame rates, generating up to three frames per rendered frame.<ref name=":6">{{Cite web |title=NVIDIA Blackwell GeForce RTX 50 Series Opens New World of AI Computer Graphics |url=https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-blackwell-geforce-rtx-50-series-opens-new-world-of-ai-computer-graphics |access-date=2025-01-07 |website=NVIDIA Newsroom |language=en-us}}</ref> According to Nvidia, this technique will increase performance by up to 800% while retaining low latency with [[Nvidia Reflex]].<ref name=":6" />
