During today’s launch of the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 cards, Nvidia also introduced the new version of its Deep Learning Supersampling (DLSS) technology. Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, says DLSS 3 can boost performance by up to four times.
Powered by the new fourth generation tensor cores and Optical Flow Accelerator in GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, DLSS 3 makes it possible to achieve higher frame rates (FPS) with minimal loss of quality in games and compatible programs. Nvidia has already announced that 35 games and applications have DLSS 3 support and the first one will be released in October.

DLSS 3 will double gaming performance
DLSS 3 promises much more performance than existing DLSS 2. This can be clearly seen in the tests carried out on Cyberpunk 2077. Under normal conditions, the system, which took values below 30 FPS when DLSS was turned off, increased to 60 FPS with DLSS 2. With DLSS 3, frame rates of almost 100 FPS are achieved.
DLSS is a technology designed to get more performance in games that support Nvidia graphics cards. Therefore, with this technology, more performance is offered at the same resolution or minimum performance loss at higher resolution. DLSS first runs games at lower resolution and upscales images to higher resolution with minimal loss with machine learning-based artificial intelligence technologies.
According to Nvidia, DLSS 3 offers not only a GPU-based performance boost, but also a CPU-based performance boost. According to the company, games that depend on CPU performance can increase frame rates by up to 100 percent. In addition, Nvidia Reflex support is integrated into the technology to reduce latency. Additionally, the company states that DLSS can render seven out of eight pixels in one frame of the game, resulting in a huge increase in performance.
DLSS 3 will only work on RTX 40 series
In the statement made by Nvidia, it was stated that DLSS 3 will only work on the new RTX 40 series, ie RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 cards for now. The reason for this is the new tensor cores and the Optical Flow Accelerator. Therefore, RTX 30, RTX 20 and older Nvidia graphics cards will not support DLSS 3.
