DLSS, Nvidia, DLSS 4.5 — Black Myth Wukong with DLSS 4.5 Nvidia

Following the controversial reveal of DLSS 5, Nvidia has officially rolled out DLSS 4.5 today, with the update arriving through a new Nvidia app beta release. The company says users can now access the full DLSS 4.5 feature set, including the new Dynamic Multi Frame Generation system and 6x Multi Frame Generation mode.

The update officially went live, and Nvidia says users will need GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.79 WHQL or newer to use all of the features.

What’s special about DLSS 4.5?

The main attraction with the update is DLSS 4.5’s 6x Multi Frame Generation. Nvidia states that the Frame Generation technology, which originally started at 2x and later hit 4x on DLSS 4, is now pushing the ceiling again. DLSS 4.5 is offering a 6x mode that generates five additional frames for every natively rendered frame on the GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs.

You can even have it run dynamically

But it’s not all about just pushing more frames blindly. Nvidia says Dynamic Multi Frame Generation automatically shifts between frame generation multipliers to hit a balance between frame rate, image quality, and overall responsiveness. The company compares it to an automatic transmission for your GPU. It can adjust the output to better suit the game and display rather than locking users into one fixed multiplier.

For users who want more manual control, the Nvidia app also lets players choose between these two modes.

What else has improved?

Aside from this, Nvidia is een leaning on its second-generation transformer AI model for DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution. Meaning, it is bringing improvements to the picture quality when using DLSS by reducing ghosting and offering better temporal stability. All of the perceived smoothness isn’t useful if the game looks blurry or unclear.

Keep in mind that your older RTX 50 series gets access to Multi Frame Generation, while the RTX 40 series get access to the standard Frame Generation tech. If you’re still running on an older gen RTX graphics card (like me), then you’re just out of luck, since there’s no support for these shiny new features on older GPUs.

AI’s latest problem is deepfake disaster content for farming engagement

Fake and recycled videos from disasters in Venezuela and China are making social media feeds harder to trust when people need accurate updates quickly

Electronics, Screen, Adult

Social feeds around the earthquakes in Venezuela filled with recycled footage and AI-generated destruction. Severe weather in China attracted its own wave of AI disaster videos, including fabricated flood scenes and false reports of power outages.

It creates an ugly race. People want immediate evidence of what happened, and AI slop can deliver something dramatic before reliable information catches up. Authentic updates are left competing with fiction precisely when confusion can send people scrambling for answers.

Think twice before downloading your next Windows 11 app from Google

Your Windows app search results have become a malware minefield

Windows 11 Laptop

Searching Google for a Windows utility and clicking the first convincing result has always carried some risk. A newly uncovered network of fake websites has made that familiar habit considerably more dangerous. More than 70 domains were found impersonating popular Windows apps. This includes Microsoft PowerToys, CrystalDiskMark, EasyBCD, Wintoys, Lively Wallpaper, and SignalRGB.

Windows Latest reports that many of the lookalike sites appear above the genuine project pages in Google results, despite having no connection to the developers behind the apps. Some currently redirect their download buttons to legitimate Microsoft Store pages, which may be part of the attack.

4 desk lamps I’d actually recommend for your back-to-school study setup

Good lighting won't do your homework, but it'll help you actually finish it.

desk lamp with white wall behind it

Back-to-school season means new notebooks, a planner you'll abandon by October, and way too many hours spent hunched over a desk lit by nothing but your laptop screen. If you've ever pulled an all-nighter or squinted through an assignment at 2 AM, you already know a good desk lamp isn't optional. It's survival gear.

I went through a bunch of options this year and picked four that actually earn a spot on your desk, whether you're working with a dorm-room budget or setting up a proper home office.
