DLSS 4.5 Proven Superior in Blind Testing

In a recent large-scale blind test conducted by Computerbase, over 6,000 participants compared visuals across six upgraded games using DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution overrides, a competing upscaling technique, and native anti-aliasing solutions.

The results were decisive: DLSS 4.5 emerged as the winner across all six titles, even surpassing native resolution in perceived visual quality.

DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution can now be applied to additional games via NVIDIA app overrides, including the upcoming John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando demo.
