Nvidia is leveling up game visuals with the new DLSS 4.5 update (original) (raw)
DLSS 4.5 makes path-traced games look better and feel smoother.
Game Science
Nvidia has just announced DLSS 4.5. The update brings new AI-powered graphics technology, and the improvements offer a noticeable impact on how modern PC games look and perform. It was revealed alongside other RTX announcements during GDC 2026, focusing on boosting both visual quality and frame rates in demanding titles.
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) has become a big part of Nvidia’s gaming ecosystem. It uses AI models running on RTX GPUs to reconstruct higher-resolution images and generate additional frames that allow games to run more smoothly without sacrificing visual fidelity. With DLSS 4.5, the technology is getting even better.

One of the notable new additions in DLSS 4.5 is Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, which automatically adjusts how many AI-generated frames are created during gameplay. Rather than sticking to a fixed multiplier, the system dynamically tweaks frame generation in real time to hit the target refresh rate. This approach lets compatible GPUs maintain smoother performance during demanding scenes while avoiding unnecessary frame generation when workloads drop.
DLSS 4.5 also introduces the 6X Multi Frame Generation, which can generate up to five additional frames for every traditionally rendered frame. The result is significantly smoother gameplay, particularly in high-fidelity titles that use advanced rendering techniques like path tracing.

Aside from the performance improvements, DLSS 4.5 also upgrades Nvidia’s Super Resolution technology using a second-generation transformer AI model. It is designed to improve image clarity by reducing artifacts such as ghosting, shimmering, and jagged edges in motion-heavy scenes.
Coming to RTX 50 series GPUs soon
Nvidia has confirmed DLSS 4.5 features like Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and the 6X mode will roll out starting March 31 through the Nvidia app. It will first debut in GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs, and will be supported in around 20 games like 007 First Light and Control Resonant.

I thought budget Windows laptops were dead, but Computex gave me new hope
I went to Computex for the powerful machines, but found a new budget surprise
Budget Windows laptops have had a stale reputation for a while now. While the best part is their affordable pricing, the notebooks are often a little depressing to hold. You know exactly what I’m talking about if you haven’t been exclusive to the Apple ecosystem. Plastic bodies that flex too much, dim screens, and mushy keyboards. The spec sheet might look fine for the price, but the actual machine rarely excites.
During my recent trip to Taiwan for Computex 2026, I was looking forward to the most powerful gaming rigs and all the cool new tech at the event. You expect to see the best of the best from tech giants, so you’re not really looking out for budget announcements. But this year, the most interesting laptop story was not only about monster gaming rigs, AI workstations, or ultra-expensive creator machines.
ChatGPT is recommending scam websites that will steal your credit card info
The chatbot is surfacing fraudulent clones of defunct retail brands, and scammers are deliberately engineering sites to game its recommendations.
Scammers have found a new way to reach shoppers: getting ChatGPT to do their marketing for them. According to The Guardian, scam-checking service Ask Silver found that OpenAI's chatbot is recommending fraudulent retail websites built to harvest payment details from unsuspecting buyers. The sites mimic real storefronts and use official-looking URLs, making them difficult to spot without scrutiny.
Defunct brands are a prime target
McDonald’s new AI drive-thru has to prove it can handle hungry people
After its earlier ordering bot became a punchline, McDonald’s is testing a new system that promises fewer human handoffs.
McDonald’s is bringing AI back to the drive-thru with a new Google-backed system called ArchIQ, also known as Archy. It’s starting in five locations under the company’s broader “> NEXT” technology push, with a franchisee claiming the system has already handled more than 1 million orders.
The bigger number is the one McDonald’s needs people to trust. About 90% of those orders reportedly needed no human intervention. That sounds promising, but this is not a clean reset. Its earlier IBM-backed AI drive-thru experiment ended after viral mistakes turned automated ordering into a public punchline.
