NVIDIA continues to push the boundaries of AI-driven graphics with its DLSS technology, now in its third iteration. DLSS 3 (Deep Learning Super Sampling) offers significant performance improvements for gamers, integrating AI-based Frame Generation with NVIDIA Reflex to deliver smoother gameplay and faster frame rates.
This week, DLSS 3 has been integrated into several new games, including FragPunk, a fast-paced 5v5 hero shooter with ray tracing and AI-powered enhancements. DLSS 3 provides a 2.8x boost in performance at 4K on RTX 40 series GPUs, enabling players to enjoy high frame rates with all settings maxed out. Additionally, the technology enhances responsiveness by reducing system latency through NVIDIA Reflex, giving players a competitive edge in multiplayer matches (NVIDIA).
Meanwhile, the long-anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake arrives with DLSS 2 Super Resolution, providing a boost in performance and image clarity. This enables users to explore Silent Hill’s haunting environment with enhanced graphical fidelity without sacrificing frame rates (NVIDIA).
Highlights:
SILENT HILL 2: Investigating a letter from his late wife, James returns to where they made so many memories — Silent Hill. What he finds is a ghost town, prowled by disturbing monsters and cloaked in deep fog. Confront the monsters, solve puzzles, and search for traces of your wife in this remake of SILENT HILL 2 from KONAMI and Bloober. The much-anticipated title launches today with day-one support for DLSS Super Resolution, accelerating performance in the much-anticipated Unreal Engine 5-powered game.
FragPunk: From Bad Guitar Studio, this fast-paced 5v5 hero shooter closed beta begins Oct. 10. Sign up on Steam for a chance to be invited. The game features powerup cards that change the rules of each round! Choose your hero, your weapons, and pick from a selection of cards that dramatically change the rules of engagement. No two rounds of FragPunk are ever the same — except in terms of how an array of ray-traced effects, DLSS Frame Generation, and DLSS Super Resolution will accelerate performance significantly while NVIDIA Reflex makes gameplay even more responsive. DLSS 3 with Frame Generation boosts performance by 2.8X on average at 4K, with every setting enabled and maxed out.

The game launches on Oct. 10, but you can get your hands on the demo on Steam today.
Starship Troopers: Extermination: On Oct 11, Offworld Industries’ 16-player co-op first-person shooter lets players join the Deep Space Vanguard, an elite Special Forces branch of the Mobile Infantry, in the fight against the Bug menace. Retake and rebuild bases, construct refineries, and complete a variety of other side objectives to wrest control of the planet away from the Bug menace. If you own a GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU or laptop, you can activate DLSS 3 with Frame Generation and Super Resolution, aiding you in your fight against the Bug menace.
These developments highlight DLSS as a game-changing technology, offering substantial improvements in both visual quality and performance across a growing list of titles. For gamers with GeForce RTX cards, DLSS represents an opportunity to experience next-gen graphics and responsiveness without compromise.
