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, boosting FPS in 75 games. While initially exclusive to the RTX 50 series, Nvidia confirmed that enhanced DLSS features (Frame Generation, Ray Reconstruction, and DLAA) will also be available for older RTX 40 series cards via future driver updates.
The RTX 50 series, codenamed Blackwell, builds upon the Ada Lovelace architecture with significant improvements to DLSS. Multi-Frame Generation, a key feature of DLSS 4, promises a substantial FPS increase compared to its predecessor. The flagship RTX 5090, priced at $1999, boasts 32GB of GDDR7 memory. Other models include the RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), and RTX 5070 ($549).
Nvidia demonstrated the power of DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation using Cyberpunk 2077. With ray tracing enabled and DLSS/Multi-Frame Generation disabled, the game struggled to maintain 30 FPS on the RTX 5090. Activating these features resulted in a dramatic jump to 236 FPS.
