NVIDIA has confirmed that users with GeForce RTX GPUs can now enable DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution in two high-profile PC titles launching this month: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Marathon.
The latest iteration of NVIDIA's AI-powered upscaling technology, DLSS 4.5, is set to bring significant performance improvements for these games. This marks a shift from previous versions, which already supported frame generation in some titles but lacked the advanced transformer model now integrated into DLSS 4.5.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, developed by Kojima Productions, will allow users to toggle between DLSS 4 and DLSS 4.5 via an app override. While DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation was previously confirmed, the new version promises even greater efficiency without compromising on image quality.
Marathon, Bungie's first-person extraction shooter, will also support DLSS 4.5 but will not include frame generation to maintain competitive integrity and minimize latency issues. Both games will offer NVIDIA DLAA as a native option within their graphics settings, providing users with additional flexibility in optimizing performance.
This integration follows a broader trend of NVIDIA enhancing its DLSS technology across various titles, including indie games like Demonologist and Black One Blood Brothers. These updates, which include support for Unreal Engine 5.6 and 5.7.2 respectively, demonstrate the versatility and performance benefits of DLSS 4.5 in both AAA and independent game development.
The availability of a dedicated driver closer to launch will further optimize the experience for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, ensuring that users can take full advantage of the new technology without additional hassle.
For creators and developers, this expansion highlights NVIDIA's ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of real-time rendering. The focus on both high-profile titles and indie games underscores the technology's potential to reshape workflows in game development and performance optimization.
The practical benefits of DLSS 4.5 are most evident for users with GeForce RTX GPUs, particularly those with the latest RTX 50 Series cards. These users stand to gain the most from the advanced transformer model, which promises to deliver significant performance improvements while maintaining high image quality.
