DLSS Brings AI-Accelerated Performance To Over 300 Games & Apps, Including D5 Render, Now Featuring DLSS 3

NVIDIA DLSS uses AI and GeForce RTX Tensor Cores to boost frame rates while maintaining great image quality. With DLSS 3, AI-powered frame generation creates new, high-quality frames for smoother gameplay. Combined with our Super Resolution technology, DLSS 3 can render seven out of every eight pixels in a scene with AI. Adoption continues to accelerate and NVIDIA DLSS is now delivering AI-accelerated performance in over 300 games and applications.

This week, D5 Render, the real-time ray tracing renderer for architects, landscape, interior designers, engineers and other 3D professionals, introduces support for DLSS 3, multiplying performance. DLSS 3 significantly enhances the real-time rendering experience of D5, allowing creators to work with larger scenes and higher-quality models and textures, without sacrificing speed or interactivity.

For gamers, The Outlast Trials launches today with DLSS 2, and Bus Simulator 21 has been updated with support for DLSS 2.

Looking to the future, we can reveal that Ashfall, NetEase’s post-apocalyptic MMORPG, will launch with DLSS 3  - check out a new, exclusive gameplay trailer below, and get further details on all of our announcements.

To discover which games and apps are adding DLSS next, return to GeForce.com each week.

Powered by new hardware capabilities of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, DLSS 3 generates entirely new high quality frames, rather than just pixels.

Through a process detailed in full in our NVIDIA DLSS 3 article, DLSS 3 combines DLSS Super Resolution technology and DLSS Frame Generation to reconstruct 7 out of every 8 of the displayed pixels, multiplying performance.

In GPU-limited games, DLSS 2 Super Resolution technology can increase your frame rates by up to 2X. With DLSS 3, we can increase performance even further with new frames - in the technology preview of Cyberpunk 2077’s Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode, 4K performance on a GeForce RTX 4090 is boosted by up to 4.6X.

Other games make extensive use of the CPU, which can limit performance. DLSS 3 operates on the GPU, bypassing CPU bottlenecks and boosting frame rates. In Microsoft Flight Simulator, DLSS 3 boosts frame rates by up to 2X.

DLSS 3 games are backwards compatible with DLSS 2 technology - developers simply integrate DLSS 3, and DLSS 2, also known as DLSS Super Resolution, is supported by default. Additionally, integrations of DLSS 3 also include NVIDIA Reflex, reducing system latency for all GeForce RTX users, making games more responsive.

The latest update to D5 Render multiplies performance with the addition of DLSS 3 support. The industry-leading software enables users to see every modification to a scene in real-time, and is compatible with popular modeling software like SketchUp, 3ds Max, Revit, Archicad, Rhino, C4D, and Blender.

D5 Render, one of the RTX-accelerated apps in the NVIDIA Studio platform for creators, previously integrated DLSS 2, our AI feature that allows apps to render a smaller version of the image and super res it with AI, providing virtually the same level of quality at significantly higher performance.

Now, support for DLSS 3 on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs has been added to D5, boosting real-time viewport frame rates even further. DLSS 3 uses AI to interpolate frames - boosting framerates and enabling a smoother experience when editing on the viewport or presenting work to clients. For users dealing with large, photorealistic archviz projects, this makes a massive difference, turning a lagging viewport into a smooth, responsive one.

"We are excited to integrate DLSS 3 into D5, which will greatly enhance the real-time performance for our users," said Jessie Huang, VP of Marketing & Operations, D5. "With this integration, we believe that D5 will continue to lead the way in real-time rendering and provide our users with an unparalleled creative experience.”

NetEase and Legendary Star Studio’s Ashfall is a post-apocalyptic MMORPG shooter set far in the future. Remnants of humanity survived the world-ending rain of nukes by hunkering down in bunkers, but now you need to head out into the wasteland to save what’s left of humankind, fighting your way through mutated animals, raiders, and other hazards.

At launch, GeForce RTX gamers can enhance their experience with NVIDIA DLSS 3. For full details, check back before Ashfall’s release. For now, click below to watch a brand new Ashfall gameplay trailer.

Ahead of Ashfall’s official release, gamers can dive into a beta test this July. To sign up for the beta, visit the Ashfall website, wishlist the game on Steam, and stay tuned to the game's official social media channels.
