In a move that will excite PC gamers, Nvidia is set to introduce Frame Generation enhancements to its RTX 4000 series GPUs. This update will include the much-anticipated DLSS 4, making it available to all RTX GPUs owners. The addition of these features is expected to prolong the lifespan of older GPUs. This development comes following criticism regarding the pricing and exclusivity of DLSS 3 with Frame Generation during the RTX 4000 series launch. The upcoming RTX 5000 series reveal suggests that Nvidia is addressing these concerns. Starting from the launch date of the RTX 5090 and 5080 on January 30th, RTX 4000 series GPU users will benefit from improvements in Frame Generation, promising improved performance with higher frame rates while using less VRAM. Additionally, all RTX GPU owners will gain access to the enhanced upscaling of DLSS 4, a significant change from the previous DLSS 2. Although the Multi Frame Generation feature will remain exclusive to the RTX 5000 series, the enhancements for RTX 4000 series users through DLSS 4 are expected to enhance performance across various games. This gesture of supporting older GPUs is seen as a positive step despite ongoing controversies and potential optimization issues. Nvidia’s demonstration showcases improved frame rates and less VRAM usage with the updated Frame Generation for RTX 4000 series GPUs. With the impending availability of DLSS 4 and Frame Generation improvements, the question arises whether there is an immediate need to upgrade to the RTX 5000 series. While the performance results are awaited, the introduction of DLSS 4 could potentially extend the usefulness of current GPUs, delaying the need for upgrades. The pricing and performance claims of the newly announced RTX 5070 suggest it could be a worthwhile investment for gamers on a budget. As reviews become available, the decision to upgrade will depend on individual preferences and requirements. Additionally, recent leaks about Intel’s Arc B570 GPU and the absence of Nvidia’s RTX 5050 at CES 2025 have sparked curiosity in the budget GPU market. Lastly, the possibility of enjoying Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at 8K resolution raises questions about the necessity of newer GPUs like the RTX 5090.
