There are two frame-rate-improvement tools with similar names, and only one makes it to the RTX 40 series. DLSS Multi Frame Generation, which is entirely new and works only with the RTX 50 series, generates three frames to every one frame,

The GeForce RTX 50 Series, a new generation of GPUs powered by the NVIDIA "Blackwell" RTX architecture that green team says will bring game-changing AI and neural rendering capabilities to gamers and creators,

And here's also why we're not getting the same sort of big frame rate bump we got out of the RTX 40-series: hardware is hard.

DLSS 4 performance for the GeForce RTX 50 Series. And outside of the RTX 5090 we're looking at 15-20% gains over the RTX 40 Series.

We do a lot of benchmarking, and Nvidia is bringing some new features to its RTX 50-series GPUs that require changes in how to collect performance data. Here's what you need to know about Nvidia's "best practices" as well as our plans for future testing of GPUs.
