DLSS 4's new Multi Frame Generation is exclusive to the new GeForce RTX 50 Series, but DLSS 4 is upgrading every single bit of DLSS tech.

Blackwell has arrived. At CES on Monday night, Nvidia unveiled its long-awaited next generation of GeForce RTX graphics cards based on its latest Blackwell microarchitecture, and the race will soon begin with AI outfits training large language models and PC gamers alike to gobble up these new cards as soon as they are released.

The RTX 5090D delivers about a 20% boost in raw gaming performance over RTX 4090. No DLSS, no frame generation—just raw, unassisted performance.

Nvidia has provided some more concrete performance estimates for its upcoming RTX 50-series graphics cards without DLSS turned on.

Now let's dive into the most important aspects of Blackwell. There's both good and bad here. The GeForce RTX 5090 is outrageously expensive, as expected, priced at $2,000. Meanwhile, the RTX 5080, with half the GPU hardware, is priced at $1,000 – less extreme than many rumors suggested, though still quite expensive.

Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), a suite of neural rendering technologies that NVIDIA continues to describe as being "revolutionary," using AI to boost FPS, reduce latency, and improve image quality since its introduction alongside the GeForce RTX 20 Series in 2019,

So, armed with that caution – and also the knowledge that this is all translated from German, so some accuracy may be lost in that process – the broad assertion is that stock

The first of NVIDIA's RTX 5000 GPUs is expected at the end of January, and the company has released details surrounding non-DLSS performance. Here's what you need to know.
