Nvidia is pushing its latest DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution technology to all RTX owners starting today. The update introduces the company's second-generation AI transformer model, a significant jump from DLSS 4 that promises sharper images and fewer visual glitches in gaming. Coming just weeks after the beta launch, the public rollout marks another step in Nvidia's aggressive push to embed AI throughout the gaming experience.
Nvidia is pushing out DLSS 4.5 starting today, bringing its latest Super Resolution technology to the broader RTX user base. After testing the update in beta just last week, the company is now rolling version 11.0.6 of the Nvidia app to everyone, making this the first public release of what Nvidia positions as a major leap forward in upscaling technology.
The centerpiece here is the second-generation Super Resolution transformer model. This isn't just a marginal tweak. Nvidia trained this version on an expanded dataset specifically designed to tackle the artifacting problems users encountered with DLSS 4, where certain visual glitches would appear during gameplay. The updated model should deliver noticeably clearer images and more stable performance when running DLSS Performance or Ultra Performance modes, which are the aggressive upscaling settings gamers rely on for high frame rates.
What's interesting about the timing is that Nvidia is drip-feeding its AI gaming features rather than dumping everything at once. The update also includes references to new 6x Multi Frame Generation and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation modes, but here's the catch: those won't actually work until spring 2026. These features are locked to RTX 50-series GPUs, which means they're essentially future-proofing the software for hardware that hasn't landed yet. It's a smart way to ensure early adopters of the new silicon have immediate benefits waiting for them.
Beyond the graphics improvements, today's update also marks another milestone in Nvidia's years-long project to consolidate its fragmented software ecosystem. The app now includes all remaining Nvidia Surround settings migrated from the legacy Control Panel. That means bezel correction, hotkeys, and multi-display configuration tools that power enthusiasts depend on are finally living in one place. Nvidia has been gradually consolidating Control Panel and GeForce Experience for the past couple of years, and today's update shows real progress toward that singular app vision.
To actually use DLSS 4.5, you'll need more than just the app update. is also requiring the latest Game Ready driver, which the company released alongside this announcement. It's a straightforward process: let the app auto-update or grab it manually from , install the driver, and you're set. For RTX owners, this is effectively free performance and image quality in any game that supports DLSS.
