The first of NVIDIA's RTX 5000 GPUs is expected at the end of January, and the company has released details surrounding non-DLSS performance. Here's what you need to know.

Despite push back from some gamers, DLSS is proving popular with graphics card owners that have it as an option, according to Nvidia.

Most PC games launch with DLSS support, and according to NVIDIA over 80% of GeForce RTX owners are gaming with DLSS enabled to boost performance.

While discussing the tech at at the consumer electronics show, Nvidia's VP of applied deep learning research, Bryan Catanzaro, said improving DLSS has been a continuous,

Nvidia has provided some more concrete performance estimates for its upcoming RTX 50-series graphics cards without DLSS turned on.The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox

That's where DLSS 4 comes in. With the latest iteration of Nvidia's frame generation technology, you'll be able to game in 4K with frame rates over 200 fps. Of course, you're relying on software performance to generate all of those additional frames rather than pure silicon, and not all games offer DLSS 4 support.

Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), a suite of neural rendering technologies that NVIDIA continues to describe as being "revolutionary," using AI to boost FPS, reduce latency, and improve image quality since its introduction alongside the GeForce RTX 20 Series in 2019,

NVIDIA's RTX 5000 range of graphics cards pack a huge punch. But one of the biggest improvements of the new GPU range is the addition of DLSS 4, which promises better frame generation and upscaling to make your games feel as native as possible.
