What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Super Resolution is broadly available and mature across all RTX with measured quality gains; the high-multiplier frame-gen is real and shipping (live Mar 31 2026) but hardware-locked, latency-sensitive, and regresses older RTX, so it needs guardrails rather than blanket adoption.
Next
Enable DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution (2nd-gen transformer) broadly across RTX; gate Multi Frame Generation behind a base-frame-rate floor (>40 FPS) and an RTX 50-only check, with Reflex on.
