Nvidia: more than 80% of gamers on GeForce RTX graphics cards use DLSS

This was the information to remember from the big show of Jensen Huang, boss of Nvidia, during his keynote of CES 2025: more than ever, the strength of team green relies on its software expertise. The new RTX 50 graphics cards are technological monsters, of course, but faced with the concrete limits of the hardware, progress – understand here, the performance at stake – must also rely on robust software solutions. Faced with certain criticisms on the lack of concrete improvement in terms of rasterization in play, Nvidia posted a more than interesting graph online yesterday evening, highlighting the importance of DLSS, its enhancement technology. on a scale, in the habits of gamers PC.

To support its argument, the American manufacturer claims that more than 80% of owners of RTX graphics cards (20, 30 and 40 series) activate DLSS in game. Present in more than 540 PC titles, DLSS is a so-called technique. image reconstruction, allowing you to increase the resolution of a game from a lower quality source. Based on a lower resolution rendering, DLSS scales the image to increase the number of pixels. This technology takes advantage of tensor cores, specialized in neural rendering, present in RTX GPUs. Thus, it makes it possible to increase the image frequency at lower rasterization costs. An essential technique in demanding games, especially when ray tracing effects are also activated.

This emphasis on DLSS is not insignificant: Nvidia is slowly preparing the launch of its 50 series graphics cards at the end of January with, inevitably, a new version of its DLSS. DLSS 4 will, among other things, introduce a new Multi Frame Generation functionality, making it possible to generate up to three additional images compared to the Frame Generation already available.
