Nvidia Unveils RTX 50 Series GPUs with DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation at CES 2025
Nvidia's CES 2025 keynote showcased the RTX 50 series GPUs, featuring groundbreaking DLSS 4 technology with Multi-Frame Generation, initially exclusive to the new lineup. This technology promises significant FPS boosts in 75 supported games and applications, including highly anticipated titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Marvel Rivals.
The RTX 50 series, codenamed Blackwell, builds upon the Ada Lovelace architecture with enhancements to DLSS. Multi-Frame Generation, a key feature, delivers faster FPS increases than its predecessor. The flagship model, the RTX 5090, boasts 32GB of GDDR7 memory and a starting price of $1,999. Other models include the RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), and RTX 5070 ($549).
Nvidia demonstrated the dramatic performance improvements of DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation using Cyberpunk 2077 as an example. With ray tracing enabled and DLSS/Multi-Frame Generation disabled, the game struggled to maintain 30 FPS on the RTX 5090. Activating these features resulted in a remarkable jump to 236 FPS.
