At CES 2026, Nvidia’s gaming updates lean heavily on AI. The company is making its DLSS suite of tech even better with the new version 4.5 of its upscaling, or “Super Resolution” model, as well as an enhanced version of its Multi Frame Generation model that can support even more aggressive multipliers than the current 4x version.
The DLSS upscaler kicked off a revolution in gaming performance when its second version arrived in 2020, and the company has held a lead in upscaling quality ever since. In addition, Nvidia’s introduction of Tensor Cores on RTX 20-series GPUs dating all the way back to 2018 means that the most recent DLSS 4 Super Resolution model, powered by a transformer architecture, still works with those products. At CES 2026, DLSS 4.5 marks the arrival of the second generation of the transformer architecture model.
