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,

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,

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'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.

I’ve seen the RTX 5090 double the framerate of 4090, though a big part of that is due to DLSS 4 and multi-frame gen. Best of CES 2025 Awards ➜ We may earn a commission when you buy through links on our sites.

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.
