Nvidia’s Gaming Announcements
While the Nvidia keynote at CES 2026 on Monday afternoon brought the usual cavalcade of robots, autonomous driving models and massive commercial hardware for AI, its low-key gaming news didn’t get to join the party. There’s no new gaming hardware — the lack of Super 50-series GPU is a disappointment to a lot of folks — but given rising system prices it’s understandable. But Nvidia did launch version 4.5 of its DLSS upscaling and optimization technology, bringing dynamic multi-frame generation and an upgraded transformer model for its super-resolution upscaling that optimizes for high frame rate 4K gaming, notably the latest crop of 240Hz 4K displays. The company also introduced new capabilities for its RTX Remix modding platform and launched apps for Linux and Amazon Fire TV.
The new model for Super Resolution has fewer temporal artifacts — less ghosting, improved antialiasing and better clarity — and works with any RTX graphics card. On the Blackwell cards, it helps with the multi-frame generation image quality as well.
G-Sync Updates
G-Sync-capable monitors also potentially get a new feature, Ambient Adaptive Technology. (It requires a light sensor on the monitor, which is rare on desktop monitors but pretty common on general-purpose laptops.) As the name implies, it can automatically adjust color temperature and brightness based on environmental conditions.

DLSS 4.5’s best is for Blackwell
Nvidia’s multi-frame generation works within DLSS to extrapolate multiple frames from a single rendered frame, and in conjunction with the upscaling, to raise game frame rates and resolution. (Sadly, it works only on RTX 50 series cards.) In 4.5, it goes from generating up to four frames for each rendered frame to six frames for each, and it can dynamically target the refresh rate of your monitor to adjust the render-to-generated ratio on the fly to maintain consistent speed and latency.
