Nvidia has launched DLSS 4.5, using a second generation transformer to promise smooth 4K performance at 250+ FPS.

Nvidia’s DLSS 4.5 can now generate extra frames using AI, helping supported RTX cards run 4K games smoother than ever.

Nvidia DLSS 4.5 updates AI upscaling with a second-generation transformer, dynamic multi frame generation, and 6X mode, improving image quality, frame pacing, and performance across supported games and applications worldwide.

I was slightly nervous that Nvidia was bringing AI, data center and robotics news to CES 2026, so consider this a huge sigh of relief to see Team Green bring DLSS 4.5 — targeting 4K path-traced gaming at a whopping 240 FPS.

For the first time in years, Nvidia declined to introduce new GeForce graphics card models at CES. CEO Jensen Huang’s characteristically sprawling and under-rehearsed 90-minute keynote focused almost entirely on the company’s dominant AI business,

At a CES where Nvidia has seemed largely focused on broader AI developments, DLSS stands as the one area where the company continues to show its gaming chops, striving forwards with improvements that gamers can actually see, touch, and use. It's good stuff. If you can get your hands on the hardware, anyway.

Nvidia has officially launched DLSS 4.5, an AI-powered graphics technology that boosts game performance while improving image quality on RTX GPUs at Consumer Electronics Show 2026, which has officially kicked off today.
