DLSS 3 has the power to boost frame rates by up to 4X, making quite a noticeable difference in performance and overall visuals.
DLSS 3 launched a little over a year ago and immediately improved performance for dozens of games. Recently,Nvidia announced DLSS 3.5 for RTX GPUs, promising an even bigger performance boost, but support is still limited at the moment. At launch, DLSS 3 was offered for over 35 games and apps. This number has since grown and Nvidia looks to add a few more games to the list through new updates.

PNY GeForce RTX 4080 16GB XLR8 Gaming GPU
The PNY GeForce RTX 4080 16GB XLR8 Gaming OC GPU is an excellent RTX 4080 GPU that is priced at a discount compared to the bulk of its competition while offering decent performance in tow. It does have relatively tame boost clocks, however, while using a tri-fan air-cooled thermal component to keep temperatures in check.
Included in Nvidia’s announcement is the news thatAirportSimandHot Wheels Unleashed 2 - Turbochargedare launching with DLSS 2, and support is also coming toLand of the Vikingsas it leaves early access. Again, this adds to the growing list of hundreds of games that currently support DLSS.
It’s not just PC titles either. The rumoredNintendo Switch successor will also reportedly use DLSS technology. The much-discussed next-generation Nintendo hardware is in dire need of a technical boost after the current iteration is falling far behind the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in terms of raw power. That hasn’t hurt sales, but many predict Nintendo will need to boost its tech to keep up in the coming generation.
