The first of NVIDIA's RTX 5000 GPUs is expected at the end of January, and the company has released details surrounding non-DLSS performance. Here's what you need to know.

Nvidia’s big RTX 5070 claim is all based on its latest generation of DLSS. “Impossible without artificial intelligence,” admits Huang after promising that the RTX 5070 can deliver RTX 4090 levels of performance. DLSS 4 has a new Multi Frame Generation technique that can generate up to three additional frames per every traditionally rendered frame.

The advantage of NVIDIA RTX 50xx Blackwell video cards over their predecessors without using DLSS is 15–30% — the company has released additional

DLSS 4 performance for the GeForce RTX 50 Series. And outside of the RTX 5090 we're looking at 15-20% gains over the RTX 40 Series.

Nvidia has made some pretty bold performance claims for its new GeForce RTX 5090, but is it really twice as fast as the RTX 4090?

NVIDIA's own performance charts suggest that the newly unveiled RTX 5070 is only 20 per cent faster than its predecessor.

That's where DLSS 4 comes in. With the latest iteration of Nvidia's frame generation technology, you'll be able to game in 4K with frame rates over 200 fps. Of course, you're relying on software performance to generate all of those additional frames rather than pure silicon, and not all games offer DLSS 4 support.

NVIDIA's RTX 5000 range of graphics cards pack a huge punch. But one of the biggest improvements of the new GPU range is the addition of DLSS 4, which promises better frame generation and upscaling to make your games feel as native as possible.
