Among the many announcements made yesterday as part of the special GeForce Beyond broadcast, NVIDIA DLSS 3 stood out as the next evolution in the Deep Learning Super Sampling technology that first debuted back in 2018.
The new version of DLSS takes advantage of a new hardware feature called Optical Flow Accelerator available in the GeForce RTX 4000 series GPUs. According to NVIDIA, this feeds pixel motion data from subsequent frames to the DLSS 3 Frame Generation neural network, generating new frames on the GPU and even ensuring performance accelerates in CPU-bound game scenarios.
Because of these additions, DLSS 3 won’t be available on previous GeForce RTX graphics cards from the 2000 or 3000 series. The news also sparked speculation among NVIDIA users on whether the announced 35 DLSS 3 supported games (full list below) would support DLSS 2 as well; would they be left out entirely from now on?
Luckily, that won’t be the case, as confirmed by NVIDIA’s AndyBNV in a post published on the ResetEra board.
When a DLSS 3 game comes out, and you own a GeForce RTX 30 Series or 20 Series graphics card or laptop, you can use DLSS 2 Super Resolution in that title.
This is the same Super Resolution technology available in over 200 games and apps.
There’s also a benefit for every GeForce RTX GPU: DLSS 3 comes packaged with NVIDIA Reflex, which works on all generations of GeForce RTX GPUs, and also some older GTX series.
So if you own a GeForce RTX 30 or 20 Series, you would get DLSS 2 + Reflex. Even if a game is labeled as a “DLSS 3 Game”.
By the way, NVIDIA also announced that Reflex will be soon added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Cyberpunk 2077, and SUPER PEOPLE, while Overwatch 2 and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will have it ready when they launch.
