Nvidia is launching its next-gen RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs today, but it’s also releasing an exciting update for existing RTX GPU owners. A new GPU driver (572.16) allows you to force DLSS 4 inside games or apps that don’t currently support it, providing improved image quality and even less VRAM usage in some cases.

Nvidia's DLSS 4 is here, promising better AI-powered upscaling, ray reconstruction, and even more AI-generated frames. It still has some controversial edges, but that's been true for the technology since the first version came out in 2018.

Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs are making waves across the industry, but what’s the cost of enabling DLSS 4? Nvidia and the Studio Director of Black State weigh in.
