NVIDIA Counts Generated Frames in Its First DLSS 5 Benchmarks

Feature image with a blue line falling to scale across NVIDIA's implied DLSS 5 render rates at 1080p for six GeForce RTX 50 cards, from 133 FPS on the RTX 5090 down to 43 FPS on the RTX 5060, with a dashed reference line at 60 FPS that the series crosses just below the RTX 5070.

NVIDIA's first DLSS 5 charts show output frame rates, and the render rates behind them are a lot lower. The Game Ready driver it needs also has a flicker bug in testing.

This Month’s Real GPU Upgrades Arrived in Software, Not Silicon

A solid software lane ending in a filled block beside a dashed silicon lane ending hollow, the month's gains shipping as updates.

With memory prices high and no new mainstream GPU worth queuing for, the gains this cycle landed in drivers and tools, not silicon: FSR 4.1 reaching older Radeon cards, driver strings hinting at 8x frame generation, and an Afterburner heatmap that shows where a GPU really runs on its voltage/frequency curve.
