Nvidia’s DLSS 4 brings enhanced image quality and efficiency

Nvidia’s latest GPU driver update brings DLSS 4 to unsupported games, improves video upscaling, and introduces Smooth Motion for RTX 50-series owners.

Nvidia has launched its next-generation RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs today, but there’s good news for existing RTX owners. A new GPU driver update (572.16) allows you to enable DLSS 4 in games and applications that do not currently support it. You can experience improved image quality and reduced VRAM usage without waiting for developers to implement updates.

While DLSS 4 is officially debuting in 75 games and apps, Nvidia’s latest software now includes an override feature. This lets you switch to Nvidia’s new transformer model, which instantly enhances image quality in DLSS-supported games. If you own an RTX 40-series GPU, you will also benefit from a new frame generation model, which Nvidia claims is 40% faster and uses 30% less VRAM than the previous version.

Improved video upscaling and multi-frame generation

Nvidia has also enhanced its RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR) feature, which upscales older, blurry YouTube videos. The latest update improves efficiency, using 30% fewer GPU resources when running on the highest quality setting. Additionally, VSR now supports HDR video upscaling, so lower-resolution HDR content will be automatically enhanced.

For those purchasing an RTX 50-series GPU, Nvidia is introducing DLSS Multi Frame Generation. This new feature builds upon the existing Frame Generation technology, creating three additional frames for every traditionally rendered one. According to Nvidia’s testing, Multi Frame Generation delivers significant frame rate improvements, but its effectiveness depends on a high base frame rate after DLSS Super Resolution is applied. If the base frame rate remains low, input latency may still feel sluggish despite a significant FPS boost.

Smooth Motion debuts for RTX 50-series

A surprise addition to today’s driver update is the new Smooth Motion feature, exclusive to the RTX 50 series. This AI-powered model enhances gameplay smoothness by predicting and inserting extra frames between rendered frames in games that do not support DLSS Frame Generation. Nvidia claims this can effectively double the perceived frame rate and works with DLSS Super Resolution, native resolution, and other upscaling technologies.

To get the newest features and improvements, you can download the latest Nvidia 572.16 drivers directly from Nvidia’s website or through the Nvidia app.
