Many games can already benefit from the feature, and it&#8217;s likely to become the standard across upcoming releases. <\/p>\n<p>The latest version of Nvidia&#8217;s DLSS Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction SDK, released on Wednesday, brings the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/article\/2933-meet-transformers-ai\/\">transformer model<\/a> out of beta. Promoting the upscaling technology into DLSS&#8217;s stable branch will likely broaden its adoption in upcoming PC games.<\/p>\n<p>First introduced in January alongside Nvidia&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/review\/2944-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090\/\">RTX 50<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/review\/2947-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080\/\">series<\/a> graphics cards, the vision transformer model replaces the long-standing convolutional neural network previously used in DLSS. This marks the most substantial improvement to Nvidia&#8217;s image reconstruction method since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/article\/1992-nvidia-dlss-2020\/\">DLSS 2<\/a> popularized the technology in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/article\/2957-nvidia-dlss-4-vs-dlss-3\/\">DLSS 4 Upscaling at 4K is Actually Pretty Amazing<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe allowfullscreen frameborder=\"0\" height=\"390\" src width=\"560\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I4Q87HB6t7Y?rel=0&#038;showinfo=0&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;vq=hd720&#038;autohide=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Although DLSS has earned praise for using machine learning to scale images to higher resolutions with good image quality over the past several years, the process isn&#8217;t without visual flaws. Issues that often occur include ghosting, shimmering, and smearing. Ray Reconstruction, which combines denoising for ray tracing with the DLSS algorithm, can also sometimes worsen the problem.<\/p>\n<p>DLSS 4&#8217;s transformer model alters the algorithm to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/article\/2951-nvidia-dlss-4-ray-reconstruction\/\">minimize<\/a> these blemishes, resulting in a noticeably cleaner image, even when upscaling from half resolution in performance mode.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/article\/2976-amd-fsr4-4k-upscaling\/\">testing shows<\/a> that, while AMD&#8217;s competing FSR 4 method beats DLSS 3, DLSS 4&#8217;s transformer model takes the lead. While Nvidia&#8217;s marketing for DLSS 4 mostly focuses on multi-frame generation, which is exclusive to the RTX 50 series GPUs, the transformer model which improves upscaling quality on games supports RTX 20 series and newer.<\/p>\n<p>Also check out: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/article\/2951-nvidia-dlss-4-ray-reconstruction\/\">DLSS 4 Ray Reconstruction Analysis: Fixing Ugly Ray Tracing Noise<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/article\/2951-nvidia-dlss-4-ray-reconstruction\/\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/articles-info\/2951\/images\/2025-02-08-image-2-j_500.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/articles-info\/2951\/images\/2025-02-08-image-2-j_1100.webp 1100w, https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/articles-info\/2951\/images\/2025-02-08-image-2-j.webp 3041w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 680px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt height=\"1711\" width=\"3041\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/articles-info\/2951\/images\/2025-02-08-image-2.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/articles-info\/2951\/images\/2025-02-08-image-2-j_500.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/articles-info\/2951\/images\/2025-02-08-image-2-j_1100.webp 1100w, https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/articles-info\/2951\/images\/2025-02-08-image-2-j.webp 3041w\"  ><\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While many prominent games such as Doom: The Dark Ages, Dune: Awakening, Stellar Blade, and F1 25 have adopted the beta version of DLSS 4 since January, some notable recent titles still default to DLSS 3, such as The Alters, Oblivion Remastered, Expedition 33, and Assassin&#8217;s Creed Shadows.<\/p>\n<p>The next major game to upgrade to DLSS 4 will likely be Diablo IV when the Season 9 update <a href=\"https:\/\/news.blizzard.com\/en-us\/article\/24215863\/purge-the-sins-of-the-horadrim\">launches<\/a> on July 1.<\/p>\n<p>Users can also force DLSS 4&#8217;s transformer model into many older DLSS-compatible titles in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/downloads\/7608-nvidia-app.html\">Nvidia App<\/a> by navigating to Graphics > selecting the desired game > clicking on DLSS Override Model Presets under Driver Settings > and selecting Latest in the drop-down menu.<\/p>\n<p>You can also try third-party apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/downloads\/7718-dlss-swapper.html#dw_description\">DLSS Swapper<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/downloads\/7688-dlss-updater.html\">DLSS Updater<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/optiscaler\/OptiScaler\">Optiscaler<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/108452-nvidia-dlss-4-transformer-model-exits-beta-set.html\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Rebecka Noren<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years.
