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.

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,

Nvidia revealed its next generation of graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 50-series, at CES this week. There are four new GPUs in the lineup: the Geforce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070, and 5070 Ti.
