NVIDIA DLSS 4.5: Unlock 6X Frame Generation for Up to 35.87% Performance Boost

NVIDIA has released a new driver update enabling GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU owners to activate 6x frame generation, significantly boosting game performance. The update, launched on March 31, 2026, delivers the latest features of DLSS 4.5, including Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation, to users.

NVIDIA App Enables Performance Boost

First unveiled at CES 2026, DLSS 4.5 builds upon the foundation laid by DLSS 4, which debuted in January 2025, with a second-generation transformer AI model enhancing image quality across all GeForce RTX GPUs. The key addition is Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation, capable of up to 6x frame generation for compatible hardware.

The 6x Multi Frame Generation feature, previously limited to 4x, aims to deliver smoother visuals. However, This proves currently exclusive to GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards. NVIDIA also offers a dynamic mode, allowing users to target specific FPS values or tie frame generation to their monitor’s refresh rate. For example, setting dynamic frame generation to 160 Hz will automatically adjust the multi-frame generation multiplier to approach that target.

Users can access these features through the NVIDIA App, where they can override game settings to enable 6x and dynamic frame generation. The app also allows for customization of the Super Resolution model.

Performance Gains Demonstrated in Cyberpunk 2077

Testing conducted with Cyberpunk 2077, using the game’s built-in benchmark tool, demonstrated substantial performance improvements. The test configuration included a 4K resolution, Ray Tracing set to Overdrive, and a baseline run with all DLSS features disabled. Subsequent tests enabled DLSS Super Resolution (Auto) and Ray Reconstruction, followed by incremental increases in Multi Frame Generation – 2x, 4x, and 6x (via override). Results were averaged over two runs, discarding any outliers.

The results showed a significant performance increase with each successive level of multi-frame generation. The 6x setting yielded a 35.87% performance improvement compared to 4x. When comparing the full configuration – DLSS Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, and 6x Multi Frame Generation – to a completely disabled DLSS setting, performance increased by a factor of twelve.

Visually, the impact of the new technology was minimal. Aside from occasional, subtle shimmering artifacts in certain areas, the image quality remained high.

NVIDIA has made the latest drivers available for download, allowing users to enable the 6x Multi Frame Generation feature through the NVIDIA App and override settings.
