Nvidia DLSS 4.5: 2nd‑Gen Transformer Super Resolution and 6× Dynamic Frame Gen (www.nvidia.com)

Nvidia has unveiled DLSS 4.5 at CES 2026, marking a significant advancement in AI rendering technology with the introduction of a second-generation transformer model for Super Resolution. This update is noteworthy for the AI/ML community as it leverages eight years of research into convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and utilizes five times the compute power of its predecessor. DLSS 4.5 enhances image quality in over 400 games and apps, offering sharper anti-aliasing, reduced ghosting, and improved lighting accuracy by processing imagery directly in linear space. A key feature of DLSS 4.5 is the new 6X Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, allowing up to five additional frames to be generated for each traditionally rendered frame. This capability enables gameplay at 240+ FPS even with path tracing on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. The Dynamic Multi Frame Generation adapts in real-time to optimize frame rates based on GPU performance and display refresh rates, ensuring smooth gameplay while maintaining high visual fidelity. As DLSS 4.5 becomes available through the NVIDIA app beta update, it promises to enhance the gaming experience significantly, making it an essential development for both gamers and the tech industry focused on real-time graphics rendering.
