I tested Nvidia’s DLSS 4 on a laptop. It’s great! But it isn’t magic

Nvidia's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) has become a game-changer for gamers, offering significant performance boosts. The article focuses on testing DLSS 4, the latest iteration, on a gaming laptop with an RTX 5060 mobile GPU. The key findings are: 1. In Cyberpunk 2077, DLSS 4 with 4x frame generation boosted the average FPS from 36 to 176, a nearly five-fold improvement. 2. Marvel Rivals saw a 350% performance increase with DLSS 4's 4x frame generation. 3. DLSS 4 provided a notable boost in No Man's Sky and Diablo 4, though the gains were less impressive than in the other tested games. 4. While DLSS 4's frame generation can introduce artifacts like blurring and ghosting, the upscaling feature alone is a significant improvement over previous versions. 5. The author concludes that DLSS 4 is a game-changing technology, offering impressive performance gains even on budget gaming laptops, and may be enough to sway their next GPU purchase.
