Nvidia update brings DLSS 4 to older RTX graphics cards today

Nvidia’s next-generation RTX-5090 and RTX-5080 graphics chips are out today. However, for those who aren’t ready to upgrade, the chip-maker is furnishing existing RTX chip owners with some serious hot sauce.

A new driver (572.16) released today enables gamers with existing RTX 40, 30 and 20-Series GPUs to access features from the new DLSS 4 AI-based upscaling technology in at least 75 games that are supporting it.

Significantly, for games that aren’t yet supported, the new driver also enables gamers to force-enable the new fourth-generation Deep Learning Super Sampling technology.

The headline Multi Frame Generation feature from DLSS 4 is reserved for the new 50-Series chips – enabling up to 4K @ 120fps fully ray-traced gaming for the first time. But those with 40-Series chips and lower will still receive plenty of benefits.

Those benefits include enhanced DLSS Frame Generation, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, DLSS Super Resolution (Beta) and Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing Beta), on the 40-Series.

A little farther down the trough, the RTX 30 and RTX 20 collections are limited to enhanced DLSS Ray Reconstruction, DLSS Super Resolution (Beta) and Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing Beta).

The 75 games can be seen in the graphic below, while Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy have all added support for DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation today. Even though official support is better, the override opens the floodgates.

“In games and apps that have yet to update to DLSS 4 or add native support for DLSS Multi Frame Generation, NVIDIA app users can activate DLSS 4 overrides to enhance image quality on all GeForce RTX GPUs, unlock DLSS Multi Frame Generation for GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, and more,” the company writes in a blog post today.

Enabling DLSS 4 within the NVIDIA app, users can press the “Refresh” button, located within the 3 dot option next to the games list.

If you have picked up one of those new-generation chips, you can also force-enable Multi Frame Generation within unsupported games by doing the following, per Nvidia.

• Ensure DLSS Frame Generation is activated in the program, and then exit to the desktop
• Select “DLSS Override – Frame Generation” in NVIDIA app
• Pick 3X if you’re targeting up to 180 FPS, and 4X for 240 FPS or more
• Reopen the program and enjoy even faster performance!
