DLSS 4.5 could be more important than ever thanks to the RAM crisis – more of this please, Nvidia, rather than DLSS 5

I’ll be honest: despite many tech companies trying to convince me otherwise, artificial intelligence has left me cold (if not downright outraged when Google’s AI overviews steal my content) — but there’s one AI feature that I use almost every day: Nvidia’s DLSS, which uses artificial intelligence to upscale video game graphics, reducing the stress on compatible graphics cards, and essentially allowing for more impressive graphical effects and results without the hardware holding them back.

When it comes to flagship GPUs like the RTX 5090, it means achieving the kind of results (such as 8K resolutions at 60fps) that would have once been impossible, but it also means more affordable mid-range and budget GPUs can offer the kind of performance that used to demand more expensive GPUs.
