NVIDIA ships DLSS 4.5 beta
NVIDIA rolled out DLSS 4.5 in beta, introducing advanced multi-frame generation features designed to boost gaming and app performance by improving frame synthesis and latency. Early availability in beta suggests developers and publishers will test integrations this quarter. (x.com)
NVIDIA pushed the Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation and 5X/6X Multi-Frame Generation modes into an opt-in NVIDIA App beta on March 31, 2026, with support gated to GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and requiring GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.97 WHQL or newer. (nvidia.com) The 6X mode means the pipeline can produce up to five AI-generated frames in addition to one natively rendered frame — a maximum 6× multiplier that raises the peak frame output compared with DLSS 4’s previous ceiling. (nvidia.com) Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation automatically scales that multiplier in real time to try to match a target frame rate (the NVIDIA App defaults to “Max refresh rate” to sync with the display’s refresh), shifting between generation levels as scene complexity changes. (nvidia.custhelp.com) Users can enable the feature through the NVIDIA App beta (Settings > About > Opt In) and in the Graphics tab choose “DLSS Override – Frame Generation Mode” set to Dynamic or a custom max-FPS target; NVIDIA documented the workflow in its support article. (gg.deals) On the developer side, NVIDIA says the DLSS 4.5 second‑generation transformer for Super Resolution is available now via its Streamline plugin and SDKs, and DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution is already deployed to hundreds of titles (NVIDIA cites over 400 supported games/apps for its Super Resolution rollout). (developer.nvidia.com) Early hands‑on and benchmark reports tested Dynamic MFG on RTX 50 hardware (HotHardware used an RTX 5070 Ti at 4K/160Hz) and found noticeably smoother perceived motion with artifacts still possible but responsiveness largely preserved, while independent comparisons showed examples of large FPS gains with single‑digit millisecond latency increases in some cases.
