NVIDIA has introduced its latest advance in AI-driven gaming technology with the launch of DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, bundled within a fresh GeForce Game Ready Driver update. This rollout, announced January 5, 2026, at CES and available now for download, promises significant enhancements to both image quality and performance across more than 400 games and applications.

At the heart of this update is a second-generation transformer model for DLSS Super Resolution. This upgraded neural network delivers state-of-the-art visual fidelity by improving how AI reconstructs high-resolution frames from lower-resolution inputs — effectively offering sharper, cleaner visuals while maintaining strong performance. The improved model marks a notable evolution in NVIDIA’s AI upscaling lineage. NVIDIA
A standout feature introduced in DLSS 4.5 is Dynamic Multi Frame Generation. While detailed availability is set for later releases, this mode dynamically adjusts frame multipliers on the fly, with the potential to deliver up to 240+ FPS at 4K resolution when paired with path-traced workloads. This marks a significant leap in fluidity for high-refresh-rate gaming experiences, especially on high-end RTX GPUs. NVIDIA
Gamers can choose how DLSS 4.5 is applied. Through the updated NVIDIA app, users can enable DLSS 4.5 per game or apply it globally. Within the app’s graphics settings, a new “DLSS Override” section provides model presets, letting players switch between quality or performance-oriented modes. This lets players tailor the balance between visuals and speed to their preferences. NVIDIA
The accompanying GeForce Game Ready Driver complements DLSS 4.5 by optimizing system performance and compatibility. It ensures that the latest features integrate smoothly with supported titles while also delivering broader improvements and bug fixes for the extensive GeForce RTX ecosystem. NVIDIA
Overall, this update reflects NVIDIA’s ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of real-time graphics through AI. With the arrival of DLSS 4.5, gamers and creators alike can expect richer visuals without sacrificing the high frame rates crucial for immersive and competitive play. NVIDIA
