At CES, NVIDIA presented DLSS 4.5, and players had the opportunity to evaluate the claimed "new quality" in practice. The updated version of the technology appeared in several games, and materials began to appear online demonstrating changes in image and performance.
After the release of DLSS 4.5, it became clear how well-known projects look with the new version of upscaling. At the same time, the main question remains open: can we talk about a technological breakthrough, or are we only talking about minor improvements?
The technology is not available to everyone. Only owners of the most powerful PCs are able to fully test DLSS 4.5, since the maximum effect is achieved on flagship video cards.
That is exactly the test that the IGN editorial team conducted. Journalists tested DLSS 4.5 on GeForce RTX 5090. Black Myth: Wukong and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 were launched on this GPU to assess whether the "new quality" makes a noticeable difference.
