DLSS 4.5 combines second-generation transformer Super Resolution with Dynamic/6X Multi Frame Generation; their availability is separate.
The following are NVIDIA's statements; we have not reproduced them in games. Sole source: NVIDIA's DLSS 4.5 announcement, by Henry Lin & Andrew Burnes, January 06, 2026; checked . The quotation column preserves the original wording; the other columns explain its scope.
| Component | Original wording (English) | GPU scope | Status according to the 2026-01-06 article |
|---|---|---|---|
| DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution (second-generation transformer) | introducing a 2nd generation transformer model for DLSS Super Resolution, delivering state-of-the-art image quality for all GeForce RTX GPUs in over 400 games and apps | All GeForce RTX | The article says it is available and can be upgraded through the NVIDIA app. NVIDIA · 2026-01-06 · Checked 2026-10-26 |
| Dynamic Multi Frame Generation + 6X MFG | This Spring, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and 6X Multi Frame Generation will be released for GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs | GeForce RTX 50 Series | The article promises only a spring release window; subsequent updates were not reviewed, so availability today is not confirmed. NVIDIA · 2026-01-06 · Checked 2026-10-26 |
| FP8 inference throughput | DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution takes full advantage of GeForce RTX 40 and 50 Series GPUs, which benefit from faster, more advanced Tensor Cores in our latest architectures. By leveraging FP8 precision capabilities, the hardware doubles inference throughput | RTX 40 / 50 Series | The article describes doubled hardware inference throughput and a slight performance cost relative to the first generation; this is not our measurement. NVIDIA · 2026-01-06 · Checked 2026-10-26 |
| Frame rates from 4X → 6X | increases 4K frame rates in path-traced titles by up to 35% | RTX 50 Series, 4K, path tracing; from 4X to 6X Multi Frame Generation | The article claims up to 35% under those conditions; this does not mean games run 6 times faster and is not our in-game measurement. NVIDIA · 2026-01-06 · Checked 2026-10-26 |
6X means generating up to 5 additional frames per native frame; it is not an image-quality or latency conclusion.
This page records only the 2026-01-06 article and our check date. We have not reviewed subsequent official updates, so we do not infer today's latest version status. This site has no game runtime and does not measure in-game frame rates.
Our game-character style conversion and Studio image workflow are independent of NVIDIA's game runtime. Browser image results and local batch processing do not establish in-game functionality or performance.
It depends on the component. The 2026-01-06 article says Super Resolution is available through an NVIDIA app upgrade; Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and 6X MFG are only promised for spring. We have not reviewed later official updates and do not infer today's latest status.
It means generating up to 5 additional frames per native frame. It is not an image-quality or latency conclusion and does not directly mean games run 6 times faster.
The article lists all GeForce RTX for Super Resolution, but RTX 50 Series for Dynamic MFG / 6X MFG. Super Resolution coverage does not establish 6X MFG support for older cards.
This page covers DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Multi Frame Generation, not DLSS 5 compatibility conclusions. Check the comparison page and hardware checker separately; our independent Studio image workflow is not a game runtime either.
This is NVIDIA's statement about RTX 50 Series at 4K in path-traced games when moving from 4X to 6X Multi Frame Generation. It is not a universal improvement or our observation.
