NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution Available Now - Download NVIDIA App To Enhance Your Games & Apps

Today, we’re rolling out NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution to all NVIDIA app users. DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution introduces 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. Simply open the NVIDIA app and grab the auto-update, or manually download here.

We also announced that NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation is available now in over 250 games and apps, and coming to even more. That includes the upcoming RTX games we highlighted at CES: 007 First Light, Phantom Blade Zero, PRAGMATA, Resident Evil Requiem, Active Matter, Screamer, and DEFECT. Check out new, exclusive trailers for each below.

Additionally, there are two new DLSS games for folks to check out this week: StarRupture and LET IT DIE: INFERNO. These join our ever-expanding list of games and apps featuring RTX technologies.

Building on eight years of research, including six years refining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), we’ve introduced the first major upgrade of our transformer architecture with DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution.

This second-generation model is our most sophisticated yet, utilizing five times the compute power of the original transformer model, having been trained on a significantly expanded, high-fidelity dataset. The model has a deeper understanding in every scene, and more intelligently uses game engine pixel sampling and motion data to deliver images that have better lighting, finer edges, and improved motion clarity.

DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution: Forged by 8 years of continuous innovation

Media have taken a look at DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution in the week since its initial release, praising its enhanced quality and temporal stability:

• “The difference is actually quite large” - Digital Foundry
• “Good lord is it ever better” - Linus Tech Tips
• “This new model offers radically improved visual quality” - HotHardware

Upgrading your DLSS games and apps to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution is just a few clicks with the NVIDIA app. Simply select “DLSS Override - Model Preset” in the Graphics tab, on a per-program or global basis, and choose “Recommended,” which sets Preset M to DLSS Performance mode, Preset L to DLSS Ultra Performance mode, and Preset K to the remaining modes.

This new “Recommended” setting replaces “Latest” to better align with the two new DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution models: Model M is optimized for DLSS Super Resolution Performance mode, and Model L is optimized for 4K DLSS Super Resolution Ultra Performance mode. While both models are supported for both DLSS Super Resolution Quality and Balanced modes, and DLAA, users will see the best quality vs. performance benefits in Performance and Ultra Performance modes.

Please note that GeForce RTX 20 and 30 Series GPUs lack native FP8 support, so Models M and L carry a heavier performance impact for these GPUs. Those users may therefore prefer to remain on Model K (DLSS 4), for an optimal balance of performance and image quality. With the NVIDIA app's DLSS Overrides, you control the Model, and the balance between image quality and performance for your PC.

To verify that the intended model is enabled, turn on the NVIDIA app overlay statistics view via Alt+Z > Statistics > Statistics View > DLSS.

At CES, we also announced DLSS Multi Frame Generation will be enhanced this Spring with the addition of a new AI model, 6X Multi Frame Generation, and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation.

For further details, head to our announcement article, and watch our explainer video.

At CES 2026, we announced even more RTX integrations for highly anticipated games including 007 First Light, Phantom Blade Zero, PRAGMATA, Resident Evil Requiem, Active Matter, Screamer, and DEFECT. For full details about each of our new announcements, head on over to our dedicated RTX and DLSS games article, and check out the video carousel below.

SUPERTRICK GAMES and GungHo Online Entertainment’s LET IT DIE: INFERNO is a rogue-lite survival action game that takes the LET IT DIE series into a harrowing new era and unforeseen depths. In the uneasy calm after the cataclysm known as Earth Rage, a city-swallowing rift called the Hell Gate tore open. Players take the role of an immortal explorer, tasked with descending into this vast, shifting chasm. Rumors say the legendary Eye of the Reaper lies within and, with it, the power to bend the world to its holder’s will.

Fight your way through Hell Gate again and again, as maps and loot reshuffle every time you die. Players must scavenge, adapt, and strategize, or risk losing it all. Face grotesque monsters, hostile enemies, and rival players in PvEvP encounters, or step into a dedicated PvP mode for pure competitive combat.

An update launched yesterday added DLSS Super Resolution to LET IT DIE: INFERNO, accelerating performance for GeForce RTX gamers. Additionally, NVIDIA app users can further upgrade to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution using its DLSS overrides, and use DLAA for even higher image quality.

Creepy Jar’s StarRupture is an Early Access first-person open world base-building game. Explore a mysterious planet in an ever-changing open world torn by recurring cataclysms. Build a complex industrial system to extract resources, produce goods and expand your base. And fight against hordes of alien monsters to defend your base and survive, alone or with friends.

StarRupture launched into Early Access last week, featuring day one support for DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Frame Generation. Via NVIDIA app, you can further enhance image quality with our new DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution 2nd generation transformer AI model, maximize fidelity with DLAA, and activate DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, accelerating frame rates.

There are even more DLSS integrations arriving soon for a whole host of games. Return regularly for a rundown of the next DLSS and RTX titles, and head here to see the full list of over 800 RTX-enhanced games and apps, along with a list of all games and apps with verified support for NVIDIA app’s DLSS  overrides.
