New Nvidia update suggests DLSS 4.0 is closer than we thought
A hand holding the RTX 4090 GPU.

Nvidia might be gearing up for DLSS 4.0. A new update for Nvidia's Streamline pipeline includes updated files for DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation that bring the version to 3.7.

Nvidia commits these updates pretty frequently, usually centered around reducing visual artifacts in games.
