What DLSS 4.5 Does in Modern Warfare 4
- All RTX GPUs: DLSS Super Resolution and NVIDIA Reflex for lower latency.
- RTX 40 Series: DLSS Frame Generation for higher frame rates.
- RTX 50 Series: Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, with up to 6X multiplication.
A new Game Ready Driver also adds Advanced Shader Delivery, which downloads precompiled shaders so you can skip the “compiling shaders” screen at launch.
DLSS 5 Gets Faster
NVIDIA says NBA 2K27 Season 2 adds a faster DLSS 5 AI model that boosts frame rates by up to 1.4X on GeForce RTX 50 Series, RTX Spark laptops and GeForce NOW. It adds that the 3D-guided neural rendering model is now about 10X faster overall than the version shown in March. These are NVIDIA’s own figures.
One for Modders: Left 4 Dead RTX
NVIDIA also spotlighted Left 4 Dead RTX, an in-development mod using RTX Remix with path tracing, Ray Reconstruction and Multi Frame Generation. The team is looking for more developers to join.
What You Should Do
