RTX technologies

AI is the new render pipeline

01

DLSS 4

Transformer-based super resolution and ray reconstruction for more stable detail in motion.

02

Multi Frame Generation

Generates up to three additional frames per rendered frame for dramatically higher frame rates.

03

Ray Reconstruction

An AI model reconstructs path-traced lighting, producing cleaner reflections and shadows.

04

NVIDIA Reflex

Aligns CPU and GPU work to cut system latency for sharper, more responsive aiming.

05

Neural Rendering

Neural shaders run small AI networks inside the graphics pipeline for materials and faces.

06

AI Acceleration

Tensor Cores accelerate local creative and generative AI workloads alongside gaming.
