Possible Nvidia DLSS 4 technology might expand to gaming laptops outside the RTX 50 series

In the gaming world, the anticipation for Nvidia's latest innovation, DLSS 4, is mounting. Scheduled for launch on January 30, 2025, the new technology promises to revolutionise gaming performance with its key feature, Multi Frame Generation.

Initially thought to be exclusive to the RTX 50-series GPUs, Multi Frame Generation uses AI to generate up to three additional frames per classic frame, significantly boosting performance with up to eight times higher frame rates. This technology, currently deployed in over 175 games, is a significant part of the RTX 50 series and is expected to influence the RTX 40 and possibly RTX 30 series as well.

However, the question of Multi Frame Generation's availability on older GPUs (40-series, 30-series) remains unanswered. In an interview with Digital Foundry, Bryan Catanzaro, VP of Applied Deep Learning Research at Nvidia, hinted at the possibility, suggesting that it's a question of optimization and engineering.

If Nvidia decides to implement Multi Frame Generation on older GPUs, it could result in a significant boost in graphical output for RTX 40-series laptop owners. This potential extension of the technology could also extend the lifespan of current gaming laptops and offer improved performance on higher resolutions.

The launch of DLSS 4 will be accompanied by a variety of gaming laptops, including the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18, Acer Predator Triton 300 SE, Lenovo Legion 5i Pro (Gen 7), MSI Katana 15, MSI Titan GT77 HX, Alienware m17 R5 AMD Advantage, Dell G16 (7620), Acer Predator Triton 500 SE, and HP Victus 15. These laptops, with varying specifications and prices, were all showcased at CES 2025.

As we approach the launch of DLSS 4, gamers eagerly await the official confirmation of Multi Frame Generation's availability on older GPUs, hoping for a smoother gaming experience and improved energy efficiency, all while requiring high native frame rates (around 60 fps) for best results.
