Nvidia DLSS 4.5 Debuts: 6x Frame Generation for RTX 50 Series

One frame becomes six. Nvidia just unveiled DLSS 4.5 at CES 2026, featuring a mind-blowing 6x Multi Frame Generation mode. It's the boldest leap yet in AI-driven gaming performance.

The RTX 50 Series Advantage in DLSS 4.5

According to The Verge, DLSS 4.5 introduces the second-generation Super Resolution transformer model. While the update supports older hardware, the flagship feature—the 6x Multi Frame Generation—is tailor-made for RTX 50-series GPUs. This mode uses AI to hallucinate up to five additional frames for every single rendered one.

Nvidia claims this new model is their most sophisticated to date. It doesn't just boost speed; it's designed to polish image quality and eliminate the annoying artifacts that occasionally plagued DLSS 4. Gamers can expect smoother motion and sharper edges, even when pushing high resolutions like 8K.

Nvidia DLSS 4.5 Rollout and Compatibility

DLSS 4.5 will be available for all RTX GPUs starting today. However, there's a catch: it'll run the fastest on the latest RTX 40- and 50-series cards. Older cards will benefit from the improved transformer for better image quality, but they likely won't support the full 6x frame generation capability.
