NVIDIA DLSS
NVIDIA DLSS is a suite of neural rendering technologies powered by GeForce RTX? Tensor Cores that boosts frame rates while delivering crisp, high-quality images that rival native resolution. The latest breakthrough, DLSS 4, brings new Multi Frame Generation, and in unison with the suite of DLSS technologies, increases performance by up to 8X over traditional rendering while maintaining responsiveness with NVIDIA Reflex.
DLSS AI Technologies
DLSS 4 neural rendering technologies include:
DLSS Multi Frame Generation boosts frame rates by using AI to generate up to three frames per rendered frame, powered by GeForce RTX 50 Series and fifth-generation Tensor Cores.
DLSS Frame Generation boosts performance by using AI to generate frames while maintaining great responsiveness with NVIDIA Reflex.
DLSS Ray Reconstruction enhances image quality by using AI to generate additional pixels for intensive ray-traced scenes. DLSS replaces hand-tuned denoisers with an NVIDIA supercomputer-trained AI network that generates higher-quality pixels between sampled rays.
DLSS Super Resolution boosts performance by using AI to output higher-resolution frames from a lower-resolution input. DLSS samples multiple lower-resolution images and uses motion data and feedback from prior frames to construct high-quality images..
Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing provides higher image quality with an AI-based anti-aliasing technique. DLAA uses the same Super Resolution technology developed for DLSS, constructing a more realistic, high-quality image at native resolution.
DLSS Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, and DLAA now use a new transformer AI model trained by NVIDIA’s supercomputers for improved stability from one frame to the next, enhanced lighting detail, and more detail in motion.

Key Benefits
Performance Multiplier
DLSS 4 featuring DLSS Multi Frame Generation—working in unison with the complete suite of DLSS technologies, including NVIDIA Reflex—multiplies frame rates by up to 8X over traditional brute-force rendering.
Maximize Quality With AI
DLSS takes advantage of AI models that are continuously improved through ongoing training on NVIDIA supercomputers, providing better image quality and performance across more games and applications. The latest transformer-based model offers improved stability, enhanced lighting detail, and more detail in motion.
Enhanced Ray Tracing
DLSS Ray Reconstruction replaces the need for multiple hand-tuned denoisers and generates higher-quality pixels between sampled rays.
Get Started With DLSS Through Streamline
Streamline is an open-source cross-IHV solution that simplifies integration of the latest NVIDIA and other super resolution technologies into applications and games. This framework allows developers to easily implement a single integration and enable multiple super resolution technologies and other graphics effects supported by different hardware vendors.
