VI. Game testing

The RTX 40 series GPU can double the performance with the new DLSS 3 technology. Here is a brief introduction.

DLSS technology (Deep Learning Super Sampling deep learning oversampling technology) is a NVIDIA RTX technology. GeForce RTX GPU-based Tensor Core acceleration, which can accurately predict the process of higher-resolution output (e.g., 4K) with low-resolution inputs (e.g. 1080p) through deep learning and calculation, so that games can render higher-resolution images at 1080p, thereby increasing the frame rate, and then use AI and game engine data to provide the native 4K output quality.

More powerful than DLSS 2, the latest DLSS 3 technology also uses optical multi-frame generation technology, which can generate more frames with AI, thus multiplying the performance on the more powerful GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards. The number of game frames is further increased without affecting picture quality and response speed. Next, let's take a look at DLSS 3's new cool techs!

DLSS 3 Game Test

To enable DLSS 3, you need to enable both DLSS and "frame generation" options. For Windows 10 and below, you need to turn on the "GPU" acceleration option in system Settings-screen-display Card-default graphics settings. Windows 11 is enabled by default.

In 2K large games, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti can provide 120 + game frames in the light pursuit environment with the help of DLSS 3 technology, making the player's 1440p game high-brush display play to the extreme. For this reason, we tested some newly released popular 3A games.

Marvel Spider-Man: remaking

Need for Speed: unruly

"Battle Hammer 40K: dark Tide"

With the blessing of DLSS 3 technology, RTX 4070 Ti Star Yao OC in the above newly launched 3A masterpiece, the default highest light pursuit quality can be smooth 120+FPS, some games can even reach 200+FPS, can make 2K high-brush display to the extreme.

Through the FrameView tool, we can detect the average number of frames, the average delay and the power consumption of the video card while the game is running, and generate a test table for analysis.

With the addition of DLSS 3, the number of RTX 4070 Ti star accolade OC frames can be nearly 50% higher than that of RTX 3090 Ti, while the GPU power consumption of the former is only half of that of RTX 3090 Ti. The performance advantages of the new generation GPU games are obvious.

When DLSS 3 is enabled, NVIDIA Reflex is enabled by default. Reflex latency is greatly reduced. DLSS 3 can double the number of frames, and there is basically no difference between frame generation and original images.
