NVIDIA has confirmed DLSS 4.5, rolling out with day-one support for all RTX GPUs—20, 30, 40, and new 50 series cards. Two big changes: a new "2nd generation transformer" model for cleaner image quality and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation.
- DLSS 4.5 upgrades image quality with a new 2nd Gen Transformer model, aiming for less ghosting, better temporal stability, and cleaner anti-aliasing
- Dynamic MFG can scale from 3x up to 6x frames depending on your target FPS and monitor refresh rate. RTX 50 series-only feature.
- Super Resolution works on all RTX GPUs
Both tackle ghosting, anti-aliasing, and FPS smoothness.
- 2nd Gen Transformer Model: Trained with more data and failure cases for better temporal stability and less ghosting
- Dynamic Multi Frame Generation (up to 6x): Adjusts frame generation (3x to 6x) to match your target FPS and monitor refresh rate—smoother gameplay on 144Hz/240Hz displays
NVIDIA claims 4.5 sharply reduces motion ghosting compared to DLSS 4. Actual demo footage isn't public yet, so take those promises with a pinch of salt until we see real-world testing.
Who Gets What?
DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution works on all RTX GPUs—from the RTX 2060 to the new 50 Series. The catch: Dynamic 6x Frame Generation launches exclusively on RTX 50 Series GPUs in spring 2026. If you're running older hardware, you're stuck with existing frame-gen modes.
- Supported GPUs: RTX 20, RTX 30, RTX 40, RTX 50 Series
- Dynamic 6x Frame Gen: RTX 50 Series only (spring 2026)
- Standard Frame Gen: RTX 40 and up
- Availability: Day-one via the NVIDIA App
- Custom FPS Target: Set your target FPS, the app adjusts frames to match up to your monitor's refresh rate
Running a 240Hz display? DLSS 4.5 tries to get you there—even on less powerful hardware. But the extreme multipliers (6x) are RTX 50 only. NVIDIA keeps the shiniest new toy for its newest cards.
Should You Care?
If you own a 20, 30 or 40 Series RTX GPU, DLSS 4.5 means cleaner image quality and slightly smoother gameplay—no extra cost. But Dynamic Multi Frame Generation (up to 6x frames) is RTX 50 exclusive. Your current high-end card is already locked out of the headline feature.
If you prioritise frame rates on ultra-high-refresh displays, DLSS 4.5 on a 50 Series card will deliver the most. But you'll need to buy new hardware—and pay the UAE premium.
Key Specs Breakdown
| Feature | DLSS 4.5 | Hardware Support | UAE Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super Resolution (2nd Gen Transformer) | Improved image quality, less ghosting | RTX 20/30/40/50 | Q1 2026 (via NVIDIA App) |
| Dynamic Multi Frame Generation | 3x-6x frames, adjusts to target FPS | RTX 50 Series only | Spring 2026 |
| Target FPS setting | App adjusts frame-gen to display refresh | RTX 20/30/40/50 (varies by feature) | Q1-Q2 2026 |
Expect game-by-game real-world impact—DLSS works best with supported titles and higher-res displays. Input lag and visual artefacts may still crop up, especially with high multipliers. Most UAE gamers on older hardware won't see all the new features, but everyone gets an image quality upgrade.
What is new in DLSS 4.5 compared to DLSS 4?
DLSS 4.5 switches Super Resolution to a 2nd Gen Transformer model. In simple terms, it’s trained on more data and more edge cases, which should reduce ghosting in motion and make images look more stable frame to frame.
What does “Dynamic Multi Frame Generation” actually mean?
Instead of locking frame generation to a single multiplier, DLSS 4.5 can generate between 3x and 6x frames. The system adjusts this on the fly based on your FPS target and monitor refresh rate.
Which GPUs support DLSS 4.5?
DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution supports all RTX cards, from RTX 20 through RTX 50. The new Dynamic 6x Frame Generation feature, however, is exclusive to RTX 50 series GPUs.
