And here's also why we're not getting the same sort of big frame rate bump we got out of the RTX 40-series: hardware is hard.

Frame Generation, an AI-powered feature that NVIDIA introduced in September 2022 as part of its suite of performance-enhancing DLSS 3 technologies, has been updated with a new AI model that can deliver faster performance despite requiring less VRAM usage,

I’ve seen the RTX 5090 double the framerate of 4090, though a big part of that is due to DLSS 4 and multi-frame gen. Best of CES 2025 Awards ➜ We may earn a commission when you buy through links on our sites.

We do a lot of benchmarking, and Nvidia is bringing some new features to its RTX 50-series GPUs that require changes in how to collect performance data. Here's what you need to know about Nvidia's "best practices" as well as our plans for future testing of GPUs.

Now that Nvidia’s RTX 50 series GPUs are official, the graphics giant is applying some of its new tech to its older-generation GPUs. Much of the RTX 50’s capabilities come from its hardware, of course,
