NVIDIA DLSS has revolutionized graphics rendering, using AI to boost frame rates while delivering crisp, high quality images. GeForce RTX gamers can accelerate performance with DLSS in over 270 games and apps, with another 7 games adding support in March, and today, we are announcing that Diablo IV and Redfall will both launch with DLSS 3.
DLSS 3’s Frame Generation multiplies performance in 28 released games and has been adopted 7X faster than DLSS 2 in the first 6 months. DLSS’ groundbreaking features, exceptional performance, and ease of integration are key to its rapid adoption by developers. With the DLSS 3 Frame Generation plugin becoming publicly available at GDC for developers, and a DLSS 3 plugin coming soon for Unreal Engine 5.2, it will be even easier for developers to enhance the next generation of games.
Keep reading for further details about the addition of NVIDIA DLSS to Deceive Inc., Diablo IV, Forza Horizon 5, Gripper, Redfall, Smalland: Survive the Wilds, and THE FINALS Closed Beta.
Through a process detailed in full in our NVIDIA DLSS 3 article, DLSS 3 combines DLSS Super Resolution technology and DLSS Frame Generation to reconstruct 7/8ths of the displayed pixels, multiplying performance.
In GPU-limited games, DLSS 2 Super Resolution technology can increase your frame rates by up to 2X. With DLSS 3, we can increase performance even further with new frames.
Certain games make extensive use of the CPU which can limit performance. DLSS 3 operates on the GPU, bypassing CPU bottlenecks and boosting frame rates. In Microsoft Flight Simulator, for example, DLSS 3 boosts frame rates by up to 2X.
DLSS 3 games are backwards compatible with DLSS 2 technology - developers simply integrate DLSS 3, and DLSS 2, also known as DLSS Super Resolution, is supported by default. Additionally, integrations of DLSS 3 also include NVIDIA Reflex, reducing system latency for all GeForce RTX users, making games more responsive.
DLSS Frame Generation will be available to access via NVIDIA Streamline, an open-source, cross-vendor framework that simplifies the integration of super resolution technologies in 3D games and apps.
DLSS technology is always improving through ongoing training on NVIDIA’s AI supercomputer; and the public release will incorporate the latest DLSS enhancements made earlier this year, including:
In February 2021 we released our free DLSS 2 plugin for Unreal Engine, making it a cinch for any developer to accelerate the performance of their game or app, further accelerating adoption of DLSS. In the near future, DLSS 3 will be released as an Unreal Engine Marketplace plugin for Unreal Engine 5.2, allowing all Unreal Engine developers and creators to take full advantage of DLSS 3’s AI-powered performance multiplier.
"NVIDIA DLSS 3 introduces truly impressive frame generation technology and the Unreal Engine 5.2 plugin will offer developers a great choice for increased quality and performance of their games." - Nick Penwarden, Vice President of Engineering at Epic Games.
Players will enter the world of Diablo IV with their choice of five classes—the shapeshifting Druids, agile Rogues, elemental Sorceresses, brutal Barbarians, and cunning Necromancers. As players grow in power, they can build their gameplay experience in directions that appeal to them, experimenting with skill trees to showcase complimenting spells and abilities.
Previously, Blizzard announced that ray tracing will be added to Diablo IV post-launch to enhance your endless battles. Today, we can reveal that Diablo IV will include support for DLSS 3 when it launches June 6th! GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers can multiply frame rates, other GeForce RTX gamers can accelerate performance with DLSS 2, and several generations of GeForce gamers can reduce system latency with NVIDIA Reflex.
“Supporting smooth gameplay in Diablo IV is a priority for Blizzard. We’re excited by the high frame rate of Diablo IV running on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series hardware and DLSS 3.” - Michael Bukowski, Technical Director, Diablo IV, Blizzard Entertainment
If you pre-order, you can battle through Diablo IV’s Prologue and first act, accelerated by DLSS 2, between March 17th to 19th. Then, from March 24th to 26th, everyone can participate in the Open Beta on Battle.net. For further details, head to Blizzard’s Diablo IV Open Beta Guide.
NVIDIA DLSS 3 will accelerate performance significantly, NVIDIA Reflex will reduce system latency, making gameplay more responsive, and ray-traced effects arriving post-launch will take your graphics to the next level, further enhancing your experience.
To celebrate our technical partnership, buyers of select GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards, desktops and laptops will receive a digital copy of Redfall Bite Back Edition, a $99.99 value.
The new Redfall Bite Back Edition GeForce RTX 40 Series Bundle is available now until April 11th. For further details, head on over to our Redfall Bite Back Edition bundle announcement article.
On March 28th, a new update races onto PCs everywhere, bringing with it support for NVIDIA DLSS 3 and NVIDIA Reflex. When activated, DLSS 3 enables GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs to break the 120 FPS barrier at 4K.
On March 7th, a two-week closed beta began, giving gamers a chance to sample THE FINALS before its launch later this year. To participate, simply head to the game’s Steam page, and sign up via the button near the top of the page. Once your participation is confirmed, you’ll be able to download the game client via your Steam Library.
Selected players will discover support for NVIDIA DLSS 3, NVIDIA Reflex and hardware-accelerated RTXGI ray tracing.
With the beta’s buildings being destroyed during the course of each match, the world’s lighting needs to react realistically to ever changing conditions. To make this a reality, NVIDIA RTXGI is used to accurately calculate light and shadow as buildings are blown open, and walls come crashing down.
But with a GeForce RTX GPU in your PC or laptop, RTXGI can leverage hardware-accelerated ray tracing to produce richer and more realistic global illumination on the fly. When enabled, you’ll experience light realistically bouncing around the environment, reacting to destruction, and interacting with volumetric fog and smoke.
For further information, head to GeForce.com’s THE FINALS Closed Beta article, and to ensure your system takes full advantage of our technology, download and install the new Game Ready Driver.
When Deceive Inc. launches on March 21st, it’ll feature DLSS 2 from day one, giving GeForce RTX gamers maximum performance.
In-game, Gripper’s graphics are upgraded with ray-traced reflections, ray-traced ambient occlusion, and ray-traced shadows, and to accelerate performance, GeForce RTX gamers can activate NVIDIA DLSS 2. When enabled, frame rates are more than doubled at 4K, enabling turbo charged max setting gaming on many GeForce RTX GPUs:
When Smalland: Survive the Wilds enters Early Access on March 29th, GeForce RTX gamers can supersize their frame rates using NVIDIA DLSS 2.
Now, there’s NVIDIA DLSS 3 and its new Frame Generation technology that multiplies performance, whether bottlenecks are a result of the CPU or GPU. With DLSS 3, you’ll have ultimate performance in every supported game.
DLSS 3’s Frame Generation multiplies performance in 28 released games and has been adopted 7X faster than DLSS 2 in the first 6 months.
