Extreme upscaling: What happens when DLSS turns 38x22 pixels into 4K?
Pushing DLSS 4.5 to absurd extremes reveals how it rebuilds images
The big picture: Nvidia DLSS has been a divisive feature since its introduction almost exactly seven years ago. While some users accuse developers of relying too heavily on upscaling to maintain high frame rates, others praise its ability to reconstruct clear images from fewer pixels. Pushing the latest implementation to its limits helps reveal how it pulls off this feat.

How Far Behind is AMD? DLSS 4.5 vs FSR 4 Tested
How well does AMD's FSR 4 upscaling perform compared to Nvidia's latest DLSS 4.5? Is AMD still relatively close to Nvidia in image quality, or has FSR fallen further behind? Let's find out.
Nvidia DLSS 4.5 vs DLSS 4: Good But Not Flawless
Nvidia DLSS 4.5 arrives with a new transformer model promising better image quality, but not without performance trade-offs. We test DLSS 4.5 vs DLSS 4 to see where this latest upscaler genuinely improves.
Nvidia DLSS 4.5 is now available to all, with improved image quality and higher GPU demands
The latest DLSS tech exits brief beta and is now live in the Nvidia App
Nvidia DLSS 4.5 improved visuals come at a 20%+ performance cost on RTX 30 and RTX 20 GPUs
Even RTX 4000 and RTX 5000 cards lose performance versus DLSS 4
The takeaway: One of the many announcements Nvidia made at CES this week was the arrival of DLSS 4.5. The latest version of the upscaling tech can be enabled ahead of its official launch, which many users have done. The good news is that you can expect a higher level of graphical fidelity, as Nvidia promised. The less welcome part is that it comes with a performance hit compared to its predecessor, one that rises to over 20% when using a previous-gen RTX 3000 or RTX 2000 GPU.

Even without RTX 50 series GPUs, DLSS 4 improves significantly upon DLSS 3
Why it matters: Most people think of multi-frame generation when they hear about Nvidia DLSS 4, but the transformer model upgrade in DLSS Super Resolution might be the update's most consequential upgrade. Many games can already benefit from the feature, and it's likely to become the standard across upcoming releases.
Steam beta adds new in-game performance metrics overlay, can show DLSS frames
Valve also explains its somewhat unique methodology for measuring frame rate and CPU usage
TL;DR: Steam Client beta participants can now view detailed performance metrics through the in-game overlay. While it doesn't offer as much data as advanced tools like Afterburner, Valve's new frame rate counter can display both real and AI-generated frames when DLSS or FSR frame generation is enabled.
AMD FSR 4 vs Nvidia DLSS 4 at 4K
After proving its mettle at 1440p, FSR 4 challenges Nvidia's DLSS 4 at 4K. In this deep dive, we test both upscalers on high-res scenes to see which delivers superior image quality and performance.
