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.
