NVIDIA dropped a bombshell at CES 2026 with DLSS 4.5, introducing 6x Multi-Frame Generation and a second-generation Transformer model that pushes 4K 240Hz path-traced gaming into reality. With support across 400+ games from day one, every RTX GPU owner gets sharper visuals while RTX 50-series gamers unlock unprecedented frame rate potential.

DLSS 4.5: Two Major Upgrades
NVIDIA’s latest AI upscaling evolution delivers improvements on two fronts. The second-generation Transformer Super Resolution model works across all RTX GPUs including the RTX 20 series, while the new 6x Multi-Frame Generation exclusively targets RTX 50-series hardware for extreme frame rate multiplication.
The updated Transformer model leverages five times more computational power with FP8 acceleration, trained across hundreds of games to improve temporal stability, reduce ghosting, and enhance anti-aliasing. This means cleaner textures, sharper edges, and reduced flickering across all supported titles.
6x Multi-Frame Generation Breakdown
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Maximum Multiplier | 6x (up from 4x in DLSS 4) |
| Generated Frames | Five AI frames per rendered frame |
| Target Resolution | 4K at 240Hz+ with Path Tracing |
| Dynamic Mode | Auto-adjusts multiplier to target refresh rate |
| Performance Boost | Up to 35% increase over 4x MFG |
| GPU Support | RTX 50-series only |
| Availability | Spring 2026 |
Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation functions like an automatic transmission, intelligently adjusting frame generation intensity to maintain target refresh rates. On a 240Hz display, the system seamlessly scales between multipliers to deliver smooth, consistent performance without manual intervention.
Immediate Availability for All RTX Users
The enhanced Super Resolution model launched immediately through the NVIDIA App beta, accessible by selecting “DLSS Override – Model Presets” and choosing “Latest.” This activates Model M across all modes, with Model L optimized specifically for Ultra Performance Mode at 4K.
NVIDIA reports significant quality improvements, with Black Myth: Wukong jumping from 184 FPS to 245 FPS when upgrading from 4x to 6x MFG, though latency increases slightly from 47ms to 53ms. The technology targets high refresh rate monitors including 360Hz and 480Hz displays for competitive gaming scenarios.
Broad Game Support
With 400+ titles supporting DLSS 4.5 at launch compared to DLSS 4’s initial 75-game library, adoption rates have accelerated dramatically. The DLSS Override feature enables compatibility across existing DLSS-enabled games through simple app updates.

FAQs
Can older RTX GPUs use DLSS 4.5?
Yes, the 2nd Gen Transformer Super Resolution works on all RTX GPUs (20, 30, 40, 50 series), but 6x MFG requires RTX 50-series cards.
When will Dynamic 6x Frame Generation be available?
Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation and 6x mode will launch in Spring 2026 exclusively for GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs.
