Nvidia Unveils RTX 50 Series GPUs with DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation at CES 2025
Nvidia's CES 2025 keynote showcased the RTX 50 series GPUs, featuring groundbreaking DLSS 4 technology with Multi-Frame Generation, initially exclusive to the new lineup. This enhancement promises significant FPS boosts in 75 supported games and applications. Titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Marvel Rivals will benefit from this technology.
The RTX 50 series, codenamed Blackwell, builds upon the Ada Lovelace architecture with improvements to DLSS. Multi-Frame Generation, a key feature, delivers faster FPS increases compared to its predecessor. The flagship model, the RTX 5090, boasts 32GB of GDDR7 memory and a starting price of $1,999. Other models include the RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), and RTX 5070 ($549).
Nvidia highlighted the performance gains, citing Cyberpunk 2077 as an example. With ray tracing enabled and DLSS/Multi-Frame Generation disabled, the RTX 5090 achieved sub-30 FPS. Activating both features propelled the frame rate to an impressive 236 FPS.
The initial launch lineup of 75 games supporting DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation includes:
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, Akimbot, Alan Wake 2, Aunt Fatima, Backrooms: Escape Together, Bears In Space, Bellwright, Crown Simulator, D5 Render, Deceit 2, Deep Rock Galactic, Deliver Us Mars, Desordre: A Puzzle Adventure, Desynced: Autonomous Colony Simulator, Diablo 4, Direct Contact, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Dungeonborne, Dynasty Warriors: Origins, Enlisted, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Fort Solis, Frostpunk 2, Ghostrunner 2, God of War Ragnarok, Gray Zone Warfare, Ground Branch, Hitman World of Assassination, Hogwarts Legacy, Icarus, Immortals of Aveum, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Jusant, JX Online 3, Kristala, Layers of Fear, Liminalcore, Lords of the Fallen, Marvel Rivals, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Mortal Online 2, Naraka: Bladepoint, Need for Speed Unbound, Outpost: Infinity Siege, Pax Dei, Payday 3, Qanga, Ready or Not, Remnant 2, Satisfactory, Scum, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Silent Hill 2, Sky: The Misty Isle, Slender: The Arrival, Squad, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, Star Wars Outlaws, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Starship Troopers: Extermination, Still Wakes The Deep, Supermoves, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, The Axis Unseen, The Finals, The First Descendent, The Thaumaturge, Torque Drive 2, Tribes 3: Rivals, Witchfire, World of Jade Dynasty
